A generalised absence while not dangerous in it's self can have serious consequences so should not be dismissed. As has been said you should make the health team aware of it.
btw I have an appointment at queens tomorrow afternoon for an Angiogram CT scan to check if my stents still in place and there are no leaks, so wish me luck as I do not want a repeat of the op just yet.

Will be thinking of you . Hope you get good news.x
 
Not that I'm trying to ease your worries @tina_marie if anything very sinister was going on it would have been picked up on MRI immediately and there probably would have been an inpatient admission that day. They are the best scans for soft tissues like brain matter. :)

I wish you lots of luck, I'm sure you won't need it but take care wish you well for tomorrow (hug)
 
I've been told to test 4-6 times daily (minimum 4) and at 10pm I was 7.9 mmol/l. I had a Chinese takeaway for dinner and expect a liver dump tomorrow. :)

Had dinner at 7pm John. :)
 
My big problem is within a few hundred yards of my front door are two Chines take a ways a Thai take a way a Mama Mia pizza and kebab take a way and a chip shop also during the day a cafe and a deli that does take away cobs and sandwiches. It's either heaven or Hell and I'm not sure which. :)

eddie that's what 3 hours but not too bad considering. Best of luck with liver dump.

Thanks all for good wishes and also hope you are OK tina_marie.

Rons seizures started a day after the scan. He seems to think that the heat from the scanner may have triggered the seizures. When we see the neurologist we will be discussing this with him. In the mean time I'm recording all the seizures and times they are happening and how long they last.

I had vertigo after the MRI scan. It can move the fluid in your semi-circular canals in your ears. The magnets are very powerful. :)
