NCC/Son's MRI and other stuff

[Guest guest]

Today my son went to get his MRI to rule out Chiari. For the new

people, he has some depression and anxiety, along with hearing loss, and

his psychiatrist wanted to make sure that Chiari isn't the problem.

I requested copies of the films as we left, I didn't want to wait for

the report. And, as we all know, sometimes the report will say the MRI

is normal, even though it isn't.

From what I can see, there isn't any herniation at all, although there

are only two good shots of the cerebellar tonsils. Either way, they

look like they are where they are supposed to be (whew!) Hopefully the

rest of his brain is fine, I will have to wait for the report on that.

My son was just glad to get confirmation that he has a brain!

Also, thanks to everyone who responded to my posting of last week, when

I wasn't feeling well and was having alot of head and neck pain.

Someone (you know who you are) suggested to me that it was probably just

the stress of the holidays, you know, overdoing it. I think she was

right, because I am feeling alot better. I finally broke down and took

a Flexeril and went to bed. The next morning I felt alot better,

although very tired from the med. I guess I really am not superwoman

after all.

Take care,

Sheila
