for the nice welcome.

Just got the appt. today for the thorasic/lumbar w/contrast MRI - scheduled for Thursday.
The neuro's NP wanted me to go to see a GI specialist due to muscle spasms in my throat. Also she wanted me to go for neuropsych. testing due to cognitive problems. They didn't give me referals though so I had to call my PCP who nixed both ideas.
He's sending me to a ENT instead. This makes more sense to me since I already had a swallow study and everything was fine.

Dejibo, MGUS = Monoclonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance. Basically I have a protien in my blood that could lead to cancer. (a very small chance but I get to be monitored for it for the rest of my life).

Thanks again for the welcome
