And now we wait . . . .

So, most of my tests have came back, and they are normal. So the neurologist sent me to the neurosurgeon. The neurosurgeon is pretty certain I don't have a tumor, but wants to follow me, so I will have a repeat MRI in August to see if there have been any changes, etc. I see the neurologist in June to get a spinal tap (another test to confirm/rule out MS) and then go over all my test results.
I feel pretty healthy, except for the fact that I am anxious beyond belief!

Health Issues

I have been having some health issues as of late. I had an MRI of my brain done on Tuesday, and they found 11 small lesions and one large lesion. All the lesions are not typical placement of MS and my neurological exam is perfect so they are hesitant to diagnose MS as it is not fitting. Other possiblities are strokes, cancer, many other things I can't remember, and the small chance it is all benign. Had 15 different blood tests today, and go back tomorrow for another MRI, EEG, and Echo. Hopefully we find out what it is soon, and things can start improving.
I am so very, very grateful for Sam and the fact that he works at the U of U Hospital and has pulled many strings in getting me into good doctors quickly. He is my rock and I love him with all my heart and soul.
