EXISTENCE OF BRAIN CONFIRMED

Monday finds me alive and well(ish).  Went to see my GP on Friday evening to get results of ct brain scan.  Happily there is no sign of stroke, tumour, erosions or other bad stuff at least not at this test level.   We had a chat about the fact the neurologist he is keen for me to see will not be able to consult with me 'til first week in January.  We decided I would wait to see this guy rather than go with someone else (he is supposed to be one of the best neurologists in our state).  If I have any more "episodes" all I have to do is see my GP and he will fast track me to the Mount Hospital and this neurologist will then be able to see me quickly.  I found this a pretty reasonable plan, so we shall stick with this for now. The doctor was almost apologetic  he had mentioned MS, but explained to me he feels strongly it is either Lupus affecting my brain or MS - I told him I was prepared to deal with it either way and I appreciated his honesty.  I am sure to have an MRI in January, apparently this will give conclusive proof of either Lupus involvement or MS or maybe some other weird and wonderful disease. I still feel a little disconnected ....but  more than a little feisty....I seem to have gone into "Boudicca mode"  which is fairly unusual for me, and while not slipping into a depression am inclined at the moment to make Leonard Cohen look like "little Merry Sunshine".  My son is cool with this, but I think my poor husband is suffering a little.  I will endeavour to be a little sweeter (mission impossible I fear....but I'll try hard!). It has been a great help to access this site, journal, contribute to discussions and to have the support of so many good people.  So thank you everyone, just in case I don't get to thank you in person right away......I have heaps to do around the labrinth we live in, as my sister-in-law arrives tomorrow afternoon.  Onward....onward...
