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.

I think the fear of the unknown is one of the worst. At least when you have a diagnosis, you know what to do to fight it. Good luck, we'll pray for you!
