Another MRI Mood
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 | A General Update story
Well My Cine MRI was inconclusive no big surprise. Now i am going for an MRI of my neck and getting a new blood draw not sure what the blood draw is for but Doc called today and said she wanted a MRI of my neck and a blood draw so i guess I will do as she ask. My neck and shoulders and head are killing me I try so hard not to let it get the best of me. I am not on much pain killers only a vicoprophen which is 200 a combination of ibprophen and vicodin. that i only take like once a day. I could just give in and take drugs all day long but i refuse to do that. She wants me to take a medrol dose pack. Which is steroids to reduce the inflamation I have in my neck after I am done with my test I guess i will try take if it gives me relief what the hell.

    wow, i hate that for you. the chronic pain alone is anough to drive you crazy. the steroids sound like a good idea as long as they dont give you more headaches.. almost like a double edged sword.
    im starting to get a little nervous about friday, and i think it is cause of everyone coming to me about it with hugs and well wishes and tears... im haveing to accept how serious it all is instead of just keeping it on the light side.
    i wonder if the blood is to show if your levels are off?? i think i read something about that when i was researching for myself. you will have to keep me posted on when you go and what they say. i will keep yuo in my thoughts and prayers as well.

    I think the blood test when I looked it up one is CSR and something sr i cant rememeber but both have to do with inflamation and protiens. I understand you being nervous I would be too who wouldn't be. But I do hope it brings you relief. What hospital you going to be in. If you don't want to say on here i understand you can write to me on my email its captainmunch76@fuse.net have your hubby send me a note on your progress when he gets a chance I know he will be busy.
