hi im paula from the suffolk area. i was diagnosed in march time very quickly
i had balance problems so went to gp where i got vertigo tablets which didnt work. then started to get head and neck pain, off to gp who said go up hospial for xray when you can as she thought it could be arthritis. all clear. so i thought i would trot off to good old specsavers and sure enough they did
i had paps in both eyes and was sent up the hospital who didnt tell me what was goin on and tey even reserved a bed for me without asking me
then i had a nuero come round say i needed an lp but needed an mri scan to make sure i havent got a tumour. hit me with a little hammer on me knees lol and i had to follow her hands blah blah blah. this was all on a wednesday. On thursday day before bank holiday weekend after promising me mri and lp, they said sorry cant fit you in go home and comme bac tuesday for mri. So went home friday afternoon by night i was at emergency dr,s head was really bad he prescribed naproxin which i couldnt get til next day
. went back tuesday for my mri and told to go home and wait for my results. well i had looked up paps by then so knew what i could have good old google
. as i was feeling worse i was not in the mood nor was my boyfriend or daughter who was with me so asked tio see dr and told her what i thought
so i was admitted and had to wait in a chair for 8 hours, im sure they done it for purpose but i was not to be beaten
next day had mri no tumour and had an lp and it all went. Bliss. for a while anyway
. has a failed lp about 3 weeks ago got one in early august under xray. not feeling as bad as i was last time but continuous headache in eyes and nausea. im on diamox 250 mg twice a day and painkillers and nausea tablets when needed. my memory is
my brain says 1 thing my mouth another. anyway hi to eveyone and am glad i joinned this site
