Found out one thing today!

[Guest guest]

As many of you may know, I have had to wait til Monday from last week for

some test (MRI) results. Neck and head.

I knew though that they were also testing for multiple sclerosis. Like

they do a bunch of us

Chiarians. So, I got impatient, and called the nurse today and said I

just could not wait too much longer

for these results, at least tell me if I have MS. She said no, but there

are " other problems " so the

Dr. will have to go over them with you on the phone Mon. eve. in which he

may want to bring you in.

She alluded that these problems were more in the neck and other

complaints that I suffer with there. But I am not

completely certain of what the Dr. is needing to take to me about. She

said he will need to go over the films very careful himself. He likes to

look at them and not just the radiologist report. I like that. I wondered

if there was some surgery in

the future for me. It is like something needs to get straight in there. I

don't know where - starts at the back of my head and goes down to my

shoulder blades. I just can not feel well, and I do not want to go along

all the symptoms as I have told them before. But, mainly fatigue, pain,

headaches, unclear thoughts, visual problems and an unsteadiness on my

feet. My hands and arms and feet were numb all day today with those sharp

electrical feelings. I hate when it does that.

I have had already a very long 6 hour surgery to fix C3-7. 3 discs gone

and cadaver bones. Metal plates and the whole fusion thing with that. It

seems to have worked out for about 3 years now. So, I have focused on my

" mild " chiari. That is what they always seem to say. It is mild. I am at

the point to demand, well what can you do for me then? Always waiting for

God's Will. I have decided to take the nurses news that there is NO

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS indicated by the radiologist for today as a prize.

Jumping up and down if I could. Trying to be careful :-) ( I have been

told twice this year that I may have this)

Praise God that I do not.

I may not know the whole story until Mon. afternoon, and then Wed. for

the real appointment and check up. But, I have

been handed some peace back today. This is such a relief. Thought you

guys might like to rejoice with me on that.

The staff at my new Drs. office seems so nice. I hope they can help me

with the other problems. Still don't know if there

are more discs out or further stenosis or some herniated discs or some

more progression with the ACM or syrinx. But, I do not have MS!

Thank you for all of your prayers, keep it up, it is working,

The Love of Christ to you all, I'll keep you posted and tell what the

Drs. say, I hope this helps some who are going through similar problems,

in Ala.

ACM-1, spinal stenosis, spinal fusion C3-7 1997, dysautonomia, looking

for answers.
