Since I still don't have a DX I emailed him and let him know about the flashing lights.

Wow, that is a really long time. Have you had an MRI? I know it is hard to see ON at times, but 8 weeks. That is awful you have had to wait that long.
I get flashes of lights when I move my eye. Mostw of the time they are sparkles. I've had ON twice this year. LA |

I get the flashing, mostly my left eye. I find it happens more when I'm tired or have overdone it that day. Thankfully, I've not dealt too much with ON only during my worst flare ever in 2006.

Yes, I had an MRI (without contrast) about a week after the eye started actting up.

I know, I was going to wait and see what the eye Dr said when he called Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday, but he still hasn't yet.

The spinal MRI's werent too bad. They did strap me down for the second one. I almost freaked out during the second spinal MRI because after they got the gadolinium in there, I really really really really had to go potty. They knew, and when they finally came and got me out, they had to help me sit up because my back was so sore from laying there...I barely made it to the potty because my back hurt so bad. And some kid was headed for it at the same time. They stopped her because it was the only toilet they had in the MRI "shop". Told the kid that I had priority because I just spent an hour or two in the big magnet. Little brat stood there kicking the door...I took my time. I hate the brain MRI's because I have a thing about being tied down, and especially have a thing about being restrained in a small space (got locked in a locker at the YMCA once, for about 20 minutes) I will only do another brain MRI if they can drug me with something. (preferabbly Versed, because it has amnesiac properties) |
