MRI Tomorrow

Well that was fast! I got a call from the doctors office she.s sending me at 10:00 from a brain/head scan. I thought they were going to do my spine too but the hospital said no.

I talked to the nurse this morning about my fear of switching anti-d's she said I shouldn't have a problem because I'll be going from one to the other right away. (didn't give me any comfort) she did say if I have any problems to let them know. I'm gonna do what Patty suggested though and call the pharmacist.

I guess she won't send me to a neurologist unless they see somthing on the scan.

The shot she gave me yesterday is really helping me back. I don't know how long it will last but I'll be thankful for what ever time I got with a almost pain free day.

take care all

love

Carol,

What good news about your back. I really hope that the shot gives you relief for several months. When it wears off, ask your doctor if you can have another one. A lot of people have shots a few times a year.

Ask the pharmacist if your old anti-d is in the same drug class as the new one. If so, you should be ok. But follow your doc's instructions: call if you notice anything.

Good luck with the MRI tomorrow. I hope you have someone lined up to take you. Let us know how it goes. I'll be thinking of you!

Hi Carol:

It's amazing what those shots can do for us huh. I hope your MRI goes well tomorrow and that you'll get some answers. I think it's a good idea speaking to a Pharmacist about the anti D hope all goes well with that. Know I'm pulling for you as usual.

Love ya,
Barb

Great Carol!! The scan will be tomorrow and no time to worry over it!! I love it. . . . and SO glad the shot is helping your back. . . wooo hooooo!!! Blessings!

Well I'm home. Other than having my head in a football helmet for a half an hour being pounded on it all went well. The last 10 min. they put dye in my vein kind of may me a little sick so i'm setting here eating a sandwhich. They said it takes about 4 days. So I guess i'll know next week.

Good new the home health care people start tuesday. Bad news they start at 8 am . Yucko! but i'll take what I can get. 8 to 11 tuesdays and thursdays. That will be a big help. They can add a day if need be but we'll see how it goes for now.

ok gonna finish my lunch talk to ya later

thanks for the enoucragement

love carol

Carol, I'm sorry I didn't see your post unil now. I'm glad your test is over now and I hope the dye doesn't make you sick for too long. I hope you are getting lots of rest. I'm really praying that everything looks good on your MRI. Love and hugs, hippi
