Re:What is a CAT scan for?-OT

[Guest guest]

Jill-

I know it's hard to follow this advice, but don't freak out. Dr.

order a lot of tests just to rule stuff out. I can't even begin to

tell you all the invasive procedures Dane had when they were trying

to figure out why he had breathing problems. You know what it ended

up being? Reflux! $26k in tests and it was reflux!

I had a CT scan to check out my sinus headaches and migraines. The

dr. is probably just being super cautious.

My grandma claims my mom didn't walk until she was almost 2. She's

51 now and still walks around just fine!
