Its all sort of connected. Hitting myself in the face with the hammer may not actually contributed to getting double-vision a few days later (according to the CT scan). The MRI will look for something that is pressing on the nerve that works the eye muscles. None of the things that might do that are particularly exciting. I won't second guess any results but I will post back when I know something. And all hugs are gratefully received! ;)

And @Liam1955
Can either of you give me any idea how long it takes for the wheels to move between the scan and an interpretation? MRI was today, and I'm seeing my GP on Tuesday. Is it likely he would have news from the consultant for me?

It took just over 2 1/2 weeks for my results to come in but I have access to my records online I'm still waiting for the letter from hospital

Mine was marked urgent as brain scan was for MS and typical NHS still waiting for results on that one

I'm being selfish as it's just two weeks away I'm worrying about. But I may have to cancel two days before the flight, which means airport hotel, flights, accommodation and car hire.
But we are due to meet up with my daughter and grandson who are flying to Portugal to join us, so they will also have to cancel their holiday too. Lots of fingers being crossed!

I know how u feel I was the same but no matter what we are dealt we just have to get on with it and live our life's I'm hoping that I can continue doing the job I enjoy but at the same time I know its going to be hard and painful at times and no doubt it will get me down but we always bounce back.
I hope all goes well for you and you can enjoy your holiday and relax

Cheers, and all the best to you too. Keep fighting!
 
Sorry @nomoredonuts have just come on Forum. My 1st Scan I had in June I got the results within 14 days. The 2nd Scan had in July got results in 3 weeks (Consultant was on 2weeks leave). Hope this is of some help?
 
@eldergarth - Hi Ron, I found out 2 years ago that I had Arthritis of the spine (last 3 Lumbar Vertebrae) when I had a MRI Scan for 2 Herniated Disc's and had suffered with Sciatica for 4 months. My GP referred me to see the Rheumatologist I am seeing now and she intends to find out which type of Arthritis it is? ( My Mother had Osteoarthritis). William

Ron do you feel happier now you know your medical status?
I admire both you and William. I'm impressed when people realise nothing is going to stop them enjoying their life.
Thank god for painkillers thou.
In my first birthing experience I could have kissed the inventor of the epidural.
Pain relief is going to be the key and meds to control seizures.
I think your at the top of your tree with this. A bit tweeking and good days will be excellent and bad days will be a disappointment.
It must have been a very scary time for you both.
Can you also see the end of this tunnel?

Thanks Vicky it is a big relief but still some questions still not answered so more fighting yet to be done
 
@ Liam 1955 sorry to hear about your arthriss & sciatica, know how you feel I've had it for as long as I can remember & cervical spondylitis in my neck, & disc problems, specially in my lower back = othere problems, recently saw doctor cos it's getting worse, response? I was shocked told as we get older we should exspect these problems! But as I'm disabled, this is not unusual ! No help nothink!!! So glad your at least being checked out,wish you well, hope it gets sorted
 
Afternoon. FBG 7.3 mmol/l. Feeling better now and like my new insulin regime. Been a hard week for me but on the mend now. :)
 
Hi all interesting visit to the docs today originally went because of my rectal bleeding just asked if felt any lumps down there then went on about constipation then onto meds causing it as if I didn't know that then prescribed laxido .
Asked about my MRI results and he confirmed osteoarthritis in the upper and lower end of my spine can't remember the numbers at min and increased my gabapentin and my Co drydamol .
But the good news is there was no signs of MS in my brain scan .
Asked about the seizures and was told it was my body reacting to all the problems and not MS ????
