Yesterday's MRI

Had my second MRI yesterday (last one was December, head and eyes only). They scanned head and whole spine. I was in there for about an hour.

Have Neuro follow up on 6th June. But it’s my first wedding anniversary this weekend, so we’re off to Bournemouth. Then going to Sydney to see my brother next Friday for 2 weeks! Back on 25th May, so at least I am going to be super busy between now and when my follow up comes through!

Have already had two separate relapses (ON and massive bladder issues) whilst in current neuro’s care and first MRI showed 5-6 brain lesions. I guess if he finds more (especially in a different area - ie, spine) he may diagnose me at my next appointment?

Or am I being naiive? I’ll probably just get more wait and see? I know it’s not a quick process. And I know I want him to get it right. And I don’t want to have MS. But what has my life come to when I am almost hoping for a diagnosis?? I just struggle with the uncertainty and the not knowing.

Patience is clearly what I need. I must try to forget all about it and enjoy all the lovely things I have planned.

Oh, and as a word of advice, if you go for an MRI and they offer you a choice of music to listen to, do NOT pick an album you really love. After listening to it in an MRI machine, you’ll probably never want to hear it again! :slight_smile: Sorry, Rumer, you’re going back in the CD rack for the foreseeable…

Lol hmmmm… I’ve never been offered to select my own music but I will heed your advice and, if I do get given such an offer, I shall pick a cd I find ok rather than one I love! Lol I’m currently waiting for another MRI - hour long brain and full spine, so I’ve asked for sedation as I’m hugely claustrophobic. Hate the damned machines but we have to go through these things don’t we?! Lol Got to keep some kind of sense of humour throughout all this back and forth, tooing and froing stuff, otherwise we’d drown in a pool of self pity! Your post has made me smile! Good to note the small stuff! :slight_smile: Hope you really do get your diagnosis PG. A diagnosis for you means one less person in limboland which can only be a positive thing! :slight_smile: Autumn x
