confused

I saw Dr Hain today, for basically my last appointment. I haven't been dizzy lately, except that one time in CA. Since I was exhausted and stressed, that gets the blame. Dr Hain noted that my nystagmus seems to have spontaneously disappeared. I may stop taking some of the supplements as I finish bottles to see if the dizziness comes back.

I took my new MRI with to drop off at Dr Chandler's office. I showed it to Dr Hain and now he has me a little worried. The MRI report contradicts the CTA. The MRI states that the spot noticed has iron in it and is an AVM. The old CTA states that it is a meningioma that is calcified. According to Dr Hain, a meningioma does not have iron associated with it. I dropped the CD off on our way home. It contains the old and new MRIs and the old CTA. I emailed Dr Chandler and asked him to contact me when he gets a chance to review everything. Hopefully that will happen soon.

On top of everything, I'm 2 days late. Hopefully it's just the stress of the CA trip that screwed my body up. Otherwise, I had an MRI while just barely pregnant. Time will tell I guess.

No Change

I picked up the CD to send to Dr Chandler today. I couldn't get an appointment with him in the near future, so I'm just mailing the scan. He should have already received the report. I got copies of the reports as well, and it said no change appears. So that's very good news. They put the old MRI and CTA with the new MRI all on one CD. So he should have a good picture of what we're dealing with. Hopefully his findings will be the same.

While in CA visiting my sister, I had a very bad dizzy spell. For the first time, it felt like the room was spinning. No idea why it happened or why it went away. But it was worse than what I've experienced so far. My only thought is that I was exhausted due to travelling. I see Dr Hain this Thursday, so we will discuss this then. I don't think there's a whole lot to do at this point though, since I'm not experiencing anything with any sort of regularity any more.
