Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Ok guys...I went to the neurologist today and they are sending me for an MRI and EEG. The MRI is this friday (my b-day of all days). The EEG is May 1st. The diagnosis is rule out seizure disorder. They know there is definitely something going on with me. I will let you all know when I find out more.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 yeah it is awful not knowing what is going on with me. I have faith in the doctors though. I am a strong person and can get through it.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Sorry to hear that, Colleen. Not the best way to spend part of your birthday, but I hope the MRI and the EEG will help the doctors pinpoint the problem. Please keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Dear Colleen, Good luck with your tests! I hope that whatever they find, it isn't too serious and can be fixed quickly and painlessly. I'll be thinking of you. Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
