They're making sure it's not a brain tumour or stroke

How we doing on this front?

Scan at lunchtime tomorrow. Dunno if they'll tell me what the crack is straight away or if I'll have to wait for a radiographer to write a report

And how are the symptoms?

Grand. I feel pretty normal again now. Being real careful about phasing the exercise back in but so far have been doing some short bits of garden work and tennis and it's been ok

brought my wife up for an x-ray last night and an MRI this evening. a horse stood on her foot ten days ago.

They won't tell you anything on the day. It'll go through either your doctor or the hospital.
Good luck with it.

My daughter had a load of CT scans and blood tests a few weeks ago and there were a few things that showed up. Next step is bone marrow biopsy, which was scheduled for next week.
On Friday we had 3 letters in the post that came together, first one cancelling that appointment, next rescheduling it and a third one cancelling that one too. No letters since and no one is answering the phone there either.
Blanch hospital is still better than Limerick Regional, but not by much.

If it’s something serious and time-sensitive (as in, any minute now there could be a problem like a potential stroke), it should be spotted by the radiographer and flagged.

I’m hoping it’s something easily identified, easily treated, and not going to be an ongoing problem @egg_. Otherwise we’re going to have to ask @pete to make us a neurological misfits subforum.

Though we can probably fit into Eirecore and look normal there.

MRI came back clear, except for an arachnoid cyst which was probably there since I was a kid and is apparently not clinically significant

So I think that's good?

 

[magicbastarder]

take it to the arachnophobia thread.

So it was just your spidey senses tingling?

was talking to one of the lads down the pub about it on Wed and he says "if anything weird like that happens to me I just think 'must be all the drugs I've taken'" ... so maybe my problem is I haven't taken enough drugs?

My extant friends who are heavy drug users are all the strongest people I know.
So putting the cart before the horse there or something. As in, They've taken a lot of drugs because they can handle it, while the rest of us hit a point where it's too much and then calm down on this or that. I hit that point with drugs years ago, but I don't truly feel I have with booze and fags. Getting there though.

It'll all get you in the end though.

Sure, just send Pete a referral letter from your neurologist
