Default Neuro Called - Update

He said the MRI showed no change on my Pineal & Pititary Cysts which is good and no lesions. With my sx over the weekend he has ordered a round of steroids that he wants me to start today and a LP on Friday morning.

Ok, I thought I was nervous before I am scared to death right now....

Char...don't be scared. Sounds to me like he is taking good care of you!

You'll be okay, Char, no use in fretting all week. Many have gone this road and we're all still here to tell about it. You'll do fine! Just listen to your instructions and it will be over before you know it.

Nappy wants to know if you've had a nappy today.

It can be done.

Please try to stay mellow until you can get the heck out of there and go get horizontal. Getting enough rest can make a huge difference for you. I sure hope this lets up soon, it's hard.

dont be scared, sounds like the steroids are for helping with new sx and the lp to double check the outcome of your mri's, you'll be ok, just take it easy, get some rest and dont over do it

This is what we do, Char, when you've had the chance you've been here for others and right now, you need to do a little leaning. We're here for you, just be a little careful when leaning, some of us might tip right out from under you.

Sounds like a good plan to get started on the 'roids, fill up your belly and fill in the couch.

Sounds like he is on the ball!

Are you doing the steroids in pill form? Make sure you have ranitidine or Zantac or something and TAKE it! The steroids can do a number on your stomach!

P.S. If you lean on me and I fall, you'll have a nice soft place to land!!

Hi Char, I'm sorry you are feeling "puny" as my mother in law would say. Try not to worry about the PSY exam. Can you reschedule it, ask for a make-up? Don't beat yourself up if you have to do that. Things just happen. It's hard to be going to work and dealing with this crap too. Hang in there and just know we are all thinking about you.
