My Health - Continuing saga. [View All]

[caledesi]

Well as most of you I have serious health problems lately. All of my symptoms point to MS, which is quite difficult to diagnose.

Anyhow, I just wanted to tell you guys that I just had a cervical MRI (neck) and a spinal MRI and although neither one showed any "MS abnormalitis) like my brain MRI, there are other problems.

I must now have an CT scan of my lungs, because a "spot" showed up on this MRI. I am not that worried bec MRIs traditionally are very sensitive and show everything. I gave up smoking 7 years ago, but there is an abnormality.

Also, while doing the MRIs, it was revealed that I have two complex cysts (solid and liquid...to make it simple) on my thyroid gland. This calls for an ultrasound. Yeah, okay, I will do it - knowing that most cysts are benign, but they might have to be removed. I HATE surgery. Scared as hell of it. It's a control issue...LOL!

Wish me luck. Have my lung MRI and chest x-ray on Monday.

This year sucks big time. As I write this, one of my acquaintances is dying of colon cancer. She is not in pain, but hell she is only 64. Now I know that sounds old to you younger DUers, but once you get "up there" you realize how young 64 is.

Peace out. Love you guys.

PS: PP (you know who you are) - will write back when I have time.
