MRI result

I'm home...............!

All went ok today though its been a long drawn out process to say the least!

The MRI was performed at 11-30am and took around 40 minutes to be completed. I opted to have just a brain rather than brain and spinal (purely from a costing point of view! Also, my previous lesions have been mainly on the brain so I think this is my weaker area).

The scan results were sent over to my Neurologist in Mount Elizabeth who saw me to discuss at 2-30pm. It seems there are more areas of sclerosis than even I had realised, one of which is on the brain stem itself. Fortunately it would appear none are "active" at present. The Neurologist is sourcing previous scans from the UK to see how stable the brain lesions are by way of comparisson. As always, the report has too many big words and phrases such as "multiple scattered foci of abnormal high signal" and "low signal density". I don't know if these are phrases to be concerned about but the Neurologist didn't comment on them so I didn't ask opting for the "ignorance is bliss" decision! I shant google either as Graham gets cross when I "self diagnose"! The headache continues though has eased slightly and as long as I continue with my "dark glasses" I am not suffering too much with my vision at present. The Neurologist seems to think that the fall I had from the treadmill 5 weeks ago (causing my fractured sacral bone) was likely to be due to an "episode" of which I am now recovering (that would make sense as my attacks usually last 6 weeks)

I shall have my periphial vision checked on Friday and have to see the Neurologist again in 2 weeks.
