More news

OK, so I have a head MRI with contrast tomorrow. I had mentioned before, I don't know which is scarier, them finding something or them NOT finding something. While I am sure I don't have any wierd tumors or anything (because I don't have any symptoms and WEBMD says I don't) I am still absolutley terrified. I guess Amber is right though, if I do have some wierd shit, it's better to find out now than once it's too late. Still..... that's not exceptionally comforting. The main conditions the WebMD keeps comming up with are Laribynthitis, Acute Sunusitis, Generalized Axiety Disorder and Tension headaches. The great news is that none of these are life threatening and all of them are treatable. The bad new is, I have to wait until AT LEAST tomorrow afternoon before I know about the MRI results.

The latest news

So I went to the ENT on Friday hoping to hear "Yep, it's an ear infection and here's some anitbiotics." Instead, he said I don't show any signs of infection, but I am having an MRI to see if it's an inner ear dysfunction or migraines. I know I have anxiety issues but hearing the specialist say "I don't know, we need an MRI of your head" does not help anything at all. So, now i get to wait for them to call my insurance, pre-certify, and schedule me. THEN I get to wait for the Radiologist to read the MRI and fax his/her findings to the ENT. I don't know which one would scare me more; if they found something or if they DIDNT find something :0/ As a matter of fact, I woke up in a full blown axiety attack this morning. I must have been dreaming about something that triggered it. It took me about an hour to relax and calm myself down. This crap is getting old. I know Amber is tired of hearing about it and I am tired of having it. Hopefully, the MRI will show something minor, with a simple fix, and life can go on normally.
