I go to get an MRI of my neck tomorrow. I have very clear signs of neuro problems. Muc worse than before my neck surgery 10 years ago. I am really scared.

I won't have any results until next week. I hate tests on Friday because I hate the weekend worrying.

Please pray for me. I am terrified. I hated the last surgery. I hate whole entire mess.

My doctor made the comment that she would hate to see what shape I was in if I wasn't on Lyrica. But that in some ways she wishes I wasn't, because then we could try it.

I am on the max dose. Not sure what comes after the MRI. But at least it shouldnt' hurt.

So sorry if my spelling is of fin the coming weeks. I can't really control my fingers all the time.

thanks ladies.

I got called to see if I wanted to do the test at noon, instead of 3. Then, at 9:30, did I want to come in right away?

You betcha.

Got there and discovered they wanted the contrast MRI. I hate these, the dye makes me sick to my stomach and gives me a migraine. So I did the test and tehn went to the store to get stuff for dinner BEFORE the migraine hit.

Migraine medications don't work on this one. I have to wait for the dye to get out of my system.

I just was so glad to get it done almost a full day early. This way I will have results by Tues, instead of waiting until Wed.

The mri itself wasn't bad. The IV site is going to be a ginormous bruise, but it didn't hurt. They coverd my eyes iwth a washcloth and I zoned out.

I will let y'all know when I know.

Hugs, (off to be migraine momma)

Susie,

I am SO sorry you have to go through this. I have the utmost sympathy for you. Those needles seem like they are the size of lawn Jarts don't they? And I too can't handle contrast. I'm allergic to the preservative in it.

-The last MRI I had done was to rule out a brain tumor. I didn't have one, but I did ask for an 8x10 glossy of the film so I could PROVE to my Mom once and for all the answer to her favorite nagging question:

DO YOU HAVE A BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD STAR?

---and now, I can whip that film out and prove I do.

Hugs and ice for you today my friend. Praying things are fine and the tests are found with good results.

I had a MRI of my pituitary and got the CD of the images, to prove to DS that I really do have a brain, contrary to what he believes. :hammer:

He, on the other hand, has always been told he has concrete between the ears, and does not have a picture to prove otherwise. :rofl:

Susie, medicine has changed in the last 10 yrs. Hopefully the treatment will be helpful.

I know that neuro pain is brutal and difficult to control. Muscle weakness and numbness is scary.

Keeping a good thought for you.

Susie,

Rattling beads that somehow things are a little more positive than initially thought.

Fran's right, a lot has changed in 10 years of surgery. Hopefully there will be a better method and recovery if surgery is necessary!

Y'all crack me up! Proving you have a brain, Ha! I am blonde. gets me out of so much trouble. LOL!

I had an Xray of my spine done years ago, kept the copy when the specialist was done. When we moved to OK from OH, I gave a very dear friend of mine the Xray. Told her now she had some spine to deal with her soon to be exhusband! She really needed it.

I will get results next week. I have been looking into some of the new things they do with spinal surgery. Not sure what I will be a candidate for, but I will go with the artificial disc before I let them use donor bone, or cut more bone from my hip.

Thanks for the prayers and beads, I really appreciate them

Susie
