I hope you are all doing well. I'm a freaking nervous wreck. I finally had my first neurologist appointment on October 13. He listened to my story, and examined me, and said that in his opinion it was really unlikely that I have MS. He said that all of my symptoms could be explained by fibromyalgia (bull!). However, because my primary care doctor and I both really wanted to, he would order the MRIs. He said that he did not expect to be surprised or see anything in the MRI, but that he would see me again in late January. He said that IF the MRIs showed anything he would contact me sooner, but that he did not to expect to see me again until January. He ordered MRI of my brain and MRI of my cervical spine, both without contrast. The MRIs were done yesterday. When we were almost finished, the technician pulled me out of the machine, told me that the radiologist had been looking at my scans as they were produced, and wanted contrast added and additional scans taken. I asked if that meant that the radiologist saw something, but the tech could not answer (which I fully expected). So they stuck me with a needle and put in the contrast, and took about ten more minutes of scans. On the way out, I glanced at the screen and saw a scan of a brain with three or four definite bright white spots. The technician told me that results would probably take two days, but that my doctor could look at them the same day and listen to the radiologist's dictation if he didn't want to wait for the report. I honestly figured my neuro would wait for the report, since he seemed so convinced that MS was not a possibility. This morning, on my drive to work, the neuro's office called. The nurse identified herself, and said that Dr. B wants to see me on Thursday at 1:00 to discuss my MRI results. It's going to be a long 49 hours between now and then. If you can spare a few calming thoughts, or prayers, or whatever you believe in, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Sugargliderz
