[QUOTE=floppychops;785584]Hello all. I am new here and have been reading everyones posts for quite some time. My doctor took blood today to test and I have a MRI with and without contrast scheduled for the 18th of July. I am nervous about my bloodwork coming back negative and then being back at square one again. Any advice for me?[/QUOT I was as nervous as you. Before diagnosis from bloodwork came backI was a nervous wreck. My Neurologist ran it twice to conform. MRI with contrast didn't make the diagnosis, bloodwork did. Now that I know what is wrong with me finally I can be treated and at the very least know what I am dealing with. I am 68 years old and now realize this started with me over 20 years ago. I am on a drug used on Soldiers and anyone else subjected to nerve gas. I could tell a difference in just one day. Good Luck my dear. I will check back on you. I too just found this forum.
