Thanks so much,

MamaGirl, I've been accused of having too big a heart but somehow I don't think it was cardiomegaly or pulmonary vasculature.
I don't have any answers but if I found something like that on my MRI report and my neurologist dismissed my questions I would press it further and do some immediate investigating to understand what it meant as far as MY body went, and possibly even go looking for a new neuro.
When it comes to my health and my body I want it explained, and if the doctor doesn't have time to explain it in detail for me, I want one who will, even if they consider it something "minor",because after educating myself, I would wonder WHY MY doctor, who is supposed to be a PARTNER in MY being as healthy and happy as I can be, wasn't referring me to a cardiologist!
I hope someone here can help you to find an answer!
