Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 They didn't give me anything during the MRI. I pray I don't have to go in for another one, I was in bed two days with a headache as it was. I have an appointment a week from Thursday to review my test results. My Doctor's office is very strange, their license is under a certain Doctors name but I've never seen that Doctor in the two years I've been going there. I actually see an NP and he is questionable at best. However, they recent aquired an intern who I think is very good and will actually sit down and listen to me. He only works on Thursdays. Thanks for the good thoughts. I had a terrible night last night, I was in so much pain I wanted to die. I'm down to working three days a week and it takes me at least two days to somewhat recover. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. I'll keep you posted on my results. ~Annette -----Original Message----- From: bluskies@... Did you have an MRI with contrast? (ie, an iv or iv injection during the procedure where they inject a dye into your veins that's picked up by the MRI to show " problem " areas in the brain) Generally what they're looking for in patients with FM type symptoms on an MRI are lesions in the brain, as these are one of the diagnostic symptoms of MS. They may have found " questionable " areas that they want to look into further (especially if you had an MRI without the contrast dye). I had a " questionable " MRI with contrast a couple of months ago and now am scheduled to see a neurologist next week for further testing. It's not necessarily anything to worry about, just an added " something " . When are you to go in to discuss the results? Good luck, and be sure and let us know what they say! - At 09:39 PM 10/16/01 -0700, you wrote: >Out of the last 6 days, this was the only morning I haven't woke up with a >splitting headache.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 I can get Canada Dry. I was just concerned that when I moved to the US, it would be one of the products I wouldn't find easily. I was happy when my local grocer had it. (After some nagging, they are now stocking my favourite Dare Cookies too :-) There are however, a lot of my favourite Canadian products that I can't get. Kroger is starting to stock some of them under their President Selection brand name, but being greedy, I want them all. And I want them yesterday!!

They are made by Cadbury and each wafer comes in its own black and gold envelope. I can order After Eights online, but they are about 3 times as expensive on the net as they are in a corner grocers! They are a Christmas Tradition in my family. Japanese mandarin oranges are the highest quality Mandarin Oranges grown in the world. Many countries call them " Christmas Oranges " because the trees bear most of their fruit in November and December. Back home, when the first shipment arrives from Japan, I always headed for the store to get a box of them. China has a Mandarin Orange that is quite good too, but not quite as good as those from Japan. Last Christmas, when I realized that I couldn't buy Japanese or Chinese Mandarins, I got so homesick that I cried. It was the first time in 48 years that I didn't have my favourite Christmas Oranges and it really hit me how foreign everything felt.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Yes, I do. I spend a lot of time picking things up, cleaning up things that spilled when I dropped them. The rest of the time I spend looking for things that I don't remember where I put them. Take care, Irene << Does anyone else have trouble holding on to things? >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
