I could use some positive thoughts today

coasterqueen wrote: I was recently diagnosed with Vertigo. It started when I was 5 months pg and it hasn't gone away, and has at times gotten worse. So I went to the doc the other day and he confirmed I have vertigo. He also told me he was concerned as to what was causing it because some of my symptoms don't seem to match up with inner ear issues, which is the most common form that causes vertigo.

So, I go in at noon today for an MRI to see what is causing the vertigo. I am very nervous, especially since he's explained to me what other possibilities it could be...MS, brain tumors, etc. DH and I are just assuming it's just plain vertigo with inner ear issues causing it, but the MRI should tell us for sure.

So I could really use your positive thoughts and prayers this morning. I go in at noon today, and I'm sure they won't read the results today. I just hope they don't let me know what they are until middle of next week. DH goes out of town On Monday and won't be back until Tuesday night. I don't want any news until he gets back.

Thanks ladies!

Schnoogly replied: Oh I'm sorry! My boss had vertigo and turned out she had a large brain aneurysm. She had surgery in december and it was successful though.

mckayleesmom replied: Big hugs to you....stay positive. It probably is an ear infection.

DansMom replied: I will be thinking of you, and hoping it is something that can be treated easily. Try not to worry (I know that's hard). If you can find the time, read a novel or do a crossword puzzle---those things can sometimes really distract from anxiety.

jcc64 replied: Whenever we have strange and scary symptoms, it is virtually impossible not to entertain the worst case scenarios. But if you had the frame of reference that drs do, you would realize that most of these things turn out to be very minor. Try not to worry so much, you'll have your answer soon enough, but in the meantime, try to keep yourself distracted.
Sending some good health vibes your way...
peace,

Sending lots of hugs, positive thoughts, and prayers!

I know it must be scary. I know I would worry and think it is the worst thing, but try not to do what I do because it it most likely just an ear infection.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please update us as soon as you can!

coasterqueen replied: UPDATE:

I just got back from getting the MRI. I am so angry. DH went with me to get the MRI done and he asked is it okay to nurse after having one of these done. I said yes, it is (because I had been told it was okay). He said just double check with the people who are going to do it. So we were sitting in the room with the technician and I asked the question. He said it was not safe to Bf because my doctor requested that I be injected with dye for the MRI. I said "my doc knew I am BF why didn't he say something, please call my doc". So he went to do that and another technician came in and said yes it is dangerous to nurse after having this done that I would not be able to feed her for 24 hrs, I would have to pump and dump! My mouth just dropped. I told her there was no way I could do that to my DD, especially going into a weekend where she likes to nurse, she get's bottles at the sitter during the week, that would not be so bad, but the weekend! Dh agreed and they said I could do the test w/o it but that I may have to have it done again with the dye for them to get an accurate result. They said I should start considering *preparing* for that scenario.

So, as they were doing the MRI I was so angry, angry at my doctor. I am also clostrophobic (sp?) so that didn't help out why getting it done. Why didn't my doctor say anything to me when he knew? Why when the technicicans ask you all those safety questions before, don't they ask if you are nursing? They ask if you are pregnant! I mean, what if I didn't ask? Then what?

I am just so angry and so upset because this whole issue has me up in a tizzy anyways. DH is so angry at our doctor right now and so am I. He wanted me to call him up and chew him out, but I didn't want to say anything to my doc until I knew for sure if the technicians were right.

Now I have to wait until mid next week for the results

coasterqueen replied: BTW, forgot to post this with my update. I just want to thank you all very much for your p&pt's. I really needed that and still do while I wait for the results I'm sure it is just an inner ear issue, but all this waiting makes one think too many bad thoughts, ya know?

Anyways, you all are the greatest and I will let you know when I get the results. They tell me by next Friday I should have them.

amynicole21 replied: Ugh!! What idiots!! I am so glad that you and DH had the foresight to double check with them... I couldn't imagine having to go 24hrs without nursing - especially if I were right there with Sophia the whole time Hugs to you... a bad situation made worse by incompetance.

supermom replied: Sorry I didn't get on sooner today, but you will still be in my thoughts and prayers until this issue is at least settled....if not resolved!!

And to your doctor...

Jamison'smama replied: Wow, lots of hugs and thank goodness you asked the question. Since it is dangerous, it should absolutely be on their list of questions!!

shelrae00 replied: I am sending lots of (((HUGS))) prayers and "stay clam vibes" for thru the week til you get the results! I hope everything tunrs out to be fine and I am sorry you had suc issues with your Dr today!!
