cybersunday,

EstersDoll made some good points. You likely can not have an MRI due to your hip replacement. You may need a CT Scan instead.

You likely have a combination of PCS and chemo-brain from the anesthesia from your surgery. It can take six months to a year to clear all of the toxins in your brain and body.

You should start a broad nutritional supplement regimen of B-12, a B-50 or B-100 complex with folic acid, D3, Niacin, Omega 3's, calcium, magnesium, a strong dose multi-vitamin like the GNC Mega brand ( Centrum and One-A-Day are weak), good meat protein (pork is good if you eat it), and a few other things this damaged brain can't remember.

Nutrition has two values. It helps the brain flush the toxins then it help the brain make repairs.

You should avoid caffeine, alcohol, MSG and artificial sweeteners ( especially aspartame) and preservatives. A single serving of caffeine or alcohol is OK if it does not increase symptoms.

Keep in mind that PCS symptoms can have a delayed reaction to the trigger. A stressful day may end well but cause a brain crash the next day or two.

Try to keep stress low and rest with limited cognitive effort.

These are a start. If yoiu have symptoms that are a particular problem, tells us and we can advise you of ways to minimize them or work-around them.

My best to you.

My doctor sent me for MRI, going today, I just woncder what the findings can be, I am getting worse, sleeping 16 hours, dizzy all the time
