MRI Results

Finally got my results, the MS is stable. I haven’t had any relapses since I started my meds a couple of years ago. However, I still feel terrible. The fatigue, the anxiety and the cog-fog is out of control. My body doesn’t feel right, something is off. I’m currently on a heart monitor to rule out a...

I was diagnosed with gastritis probably 5yrs ago, but more recently have had issues with just eating normally. It feels like my organs are on fire at some points and I can feel the food digesting. Extremely p...

MRI RESULTS

How long has it taken you to get MRI results back? The first two times, it seemed as though they came back fairly quickly. I did another MRI last Monday and I still haven’t heard anything. I haven’t been feeling well for a while now, so my mind is racing as to what it can be. I’ve been treated for a...
