Hello everyone, didn't
do a post yesterday as I was feeling terrible with pains in the tummy
and a touch of the runs and just not myself. After I spoke to mum
last night I went to bed and this morning I woke feeling like myself
so all good.
Went to the doctors
this morning and the MRI showed no signs of MS which will put Kathy's
worry to rest. However, there is signs of borderline
ventriculomegaly, yeah something I have never heard of. Dr Google
tells me this about it:
Ventriculomegaly
is a brain condition that
occurs when the lateral ventricles become dilated. In fetuses, the
most common definition uses a width of the atrium of the lateral
ventricle of greater than 10mm. When the measurement is greater than
15mm, the ventriculomegaly may be classified as more severe.
Enlargement of the ventricles may occur for a number of reasons, such
as loss of brain volume (perhaps due to infection or infarction), or
impaired outflow or absorption of cerebrospinal fluid from the
ventricles. Often, however, there is no identifiable cause. The
interventricular foramen may be congenitally malformed, or may have
become obstructed by infection,haemorrhage , or rarely tumour, which
may impair the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid, and thus accumulation
in the ventricles.
Does
that help, no, didn't help me either.................
Anyway
I have to back and see the neurologist,
referral has been sent off now I just have to wait for an
appointment. I got the impression it isn't anything to worry about at
this stage but it may explain why I get so many headaches.
Hope they can find out what is wrong.
ReplyDeletePrayers as always. This sounds scarily like "stroke at any moment".
ReplyDeleteI hope that something else will be mentioned than this. XX
ReplyDeleteI know
DeleteI don't know what that means. I hope your doctor takes the time to really explain it. Maybe you could make a list of questions for your healthcare provider.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yeah a list will be needed when I see the specialist
DeleteI didn't understand that, either, but I hope they can figure out something to make you feel better.
ReplyDeleteYeah beyond my understanding, I am over all the headaches, that I know
DeleteHope it is nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteHey, Jo-Anne. I'm glad the MRI results were negative for MS. At least that's one less thing to worry about. Can't say I've heard about “ventriculomegaly” either but I hope the neurologist can get to the bottom of it. I myself suffer from headaches but that’s because of my vertigo. Here’s to wishing it’s nothing serious and feeling better soon!
