The neurologist called with the EKG results today. As I anticipated, nothing was found with it. So I am being referred to another neurologist that specializes in epilepsy. That is kind of confusing to me, since nothing was found on the EEG. But it is likely that I will need to do a 24hr EEG after seeing this new doctor. I will be calling 2 places tomorrow to see who can get me in sooner.
It's been 6 weeks now since the original symptoms materialized. I am now experiencing dizziness every 30-60 minutes while seated. I don't seem to experience the dizziness as much if I'm standing. But it may just be that I don't notice it while I'm up and about.
I have also contacted a neurosurgeon at Northwestern. He responded rapidly to my email and asked me to contact his nurse to arrange for my MRI to be sent to him. I will also try to get my MRIs from 2001 and 2006 sent as well, for comparision. He does Gamma Knife, which is the typical treatment for small meningiomas.
So tomorrow I have quite a few phone calls to make. I am scared about the future and a little frustrated with the lack of results so far. It's not anyone's fault, just frustrating. Hopefully we can wrap all of this up soon and I can go on with my life. What happens next is yet to be determined.
