Nurse from my neuro's office just called me and said that the immediate concern from the MRI is extra fluid and something with my optic nerve... they have moved my apt from the 10th to the 2nd...
what do they do from this and why is it just now showing?

Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |

I doubt even your neuro can answer that question.

I want to know what they will do for it...
And is it protecting damaged tissue? what happens if we drain the fluid? will the tissue die? if its not already?

Your neuro may have ideas about treatment but as to why it only showed up this late will likely remain a mystery.
