Picked up written report of MRI Friday!
PaintWarrior
Nurse called that morning, but asked if I was Deloris? I said, NO! I'm ...... So then she said; Well, I will have to find the right chart & call you right back! Well!? I looked at the papers that I had from his office to see what he had on the chart, & decided to call her back to give her the name on the chart-because he had ....... Latrile! Right 1st name! Totally the wrong last name! So I figured that she would never find it because of that so I called back!
Well this lady answered the phone & said there was nobody in the office today--Friday! And, I said, Well!? A nurse just called me from there & told her the above & that I was waiting for her to call me back with my MRI results! So she said, Well, she'd go look & see if she was there or anybody was there!? So she did & NOBODY WAS THERE!!! SHE JUST TOOK OFF & LEFT! W/O CALLING ME BACK!
THEY WERE JUST GOING TO LEAVE ME HANGING FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKEND!!! NOT NICE AT ALL!!! OR PROFESSIONAL!!!
OKAY! Called the record office at hospital & asked if they had the written report & they did, so I DROVE ALL THE WAY THERE to get it! GOT IT!
NO LESIONS IN THE SPINE!!! WONDERFUL NEWS!!! I AM SOOOO SOOOO FREAKING RELIEVED!!! I WAS SOOOO VERY VERY WORRIED THAT THERE WOULD OR MIGHT BE!? AND, TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE NONE THERE RIGHT NOW IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!
The report basically said, the same about my T-spine as it did my C-spine! That I have denerative arthritis in my spine, esp... my facets! I denerative facet arthritis in my spine! And, in my C-spine, most of my disc's are completely flattened & have turned to dust! And, I have spurs all over the facets as well! And, in one place I have a pertrusion into a portion but not into the cord--YET! But will most likely continue into the cord, requiring me to have neck surgery at some point!?
On my papers that I got a copy of from the neuro, it stated that one of my many problems was HYPO-THYROIDISM! But no doc has said that to me, on any of my bloodwork! In fact they have told me that my thyroid was okay! So I am going to ask him where he got that info..!? Did he get it from some records somewhere & if so, then where!? Because IF THAT IS TRUE THEN I NEED TO BE ON MEDICATION IMMEDIATELY!!!
And, THAT combined with PCS would explain all that has been going on with me!!! It effects your body temp & makes you heat & cold intolerant! It also causes great fatigue! And, causes depression, anxiety, mood changes, etc... It controls sooooo many things & it is very very dangerous to have that & to not be on medication for it! It can cause heart problems & heart attacks! It can cause strokes!? It cause body organs to mal-function, etc....
IT CAN KILL YOU!!!! PERIOD!!!
SO THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY WE SHOULD ALL GET COPIES OF OUR RECORDS EVERY SINGE TIME WE GO!!!
I am waiting for the MRI of my brain to be scheduled yet!? And, I am going to talk to the secretary when she calls me with that, about that whole thyroid thing!
I DO KNOW THAT I HAD A DISEASED THYROID!!! I HAVE 9 NODULES IN MY NECK AT MY THYROID!!! The ER found it by accident on one of my falls when I injured my head & neck! They did a CT scan & they showed up! Then they sent me to a doc to have an Ultrasound done as well! And, I had 9! Then, that doc told me that I needed to have the US & a CT done of them EVERY 6 MONTHS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!! To watch them! Because any one of them could be cancer!?
AND, I HAVE TOLD EVERY SINGLE FREAKING DOCTOR THAT EVERY SINCE THEN! IT'S BEEN LIKE 4 YEARS AGO & NOT ONE SINGLE DOCTOR HAS DONE THAT SINCE THEN!!! NOT ONE!!!
I was then sent to an Endocrinologists! And, He said; That I had HM's Disease! And, that he would test me for it, but if the tests came back alright that he would not treat me for it! Well!? The test came back okay & totally blew him out of the water!!! Again! This disease along with the PCS would explain all the shit that is going on with me! But the doctors can't make up their damned minds what I have or what is going on with me!!!
That one said, HM's disease! But the other docs say that my Thyroid tests are fine! But they refuse to do the repeats on the US & the CT like they are supposed to be doing!!! And, then I have 5 of them convinced of MS & just waiting for the lesions to show up!?
I just want them to make up their freaking minds & figure it all out & then if it is HM's or Hypothyroid Disease, then freaking treat me for it!!! So that I can feel better & feel like a freaking human being again!!!
So that's where I'm at--news wise for now, on my health & the MS???
