UPDATE: Results from MRI's done 3/6 please pray .....

[cockadoodlemom]

Friday I did half of the open MRI's (cause it was still a small space just not as bad) and Yesterday I had the EMG done and got the results of the MRI's. The EMG was

the doc had to stop and let me relex a couple of times. My arm is still sore but he found no problems with the EMG test. He said he thinks I will get better and there are no signs of peripheral neuropathy or stoke. He then told me not to worry but they found a cyst on my thyroid and on my brain. He is sending me to a neurosurgen for the cyst on the tyroid and says we will do another MRI in 6 months to see if the cyst on my brain is growing. He said in most cases the cysts will be benign.

I hate it when they say don't worry......how in the world am I not suppose to worry? Yes I have faith in God and that's why I am here asking for fellow belivers to help me and not

.
During the EMG I had to keep singing to myself:
The electric shock part
I FEEL LIKE TRAVELING ON
My heavenly home is bright and fair, I feel like traveling on
Nor pain, nor death can enter there, I feel like traveling on.
CHORUS
Yes, I feel like traveling on I feel like traveling on;
My heavenly home is bright and fair, I feel like traveling on.
The Lord has been so good to me, I feel like traveling on,
Until that blessed home I see, I feel like traveling on.

And during the NEEDLE part
JESUS HOLD MY HAND
As I travel through this pilgrim land there is a Friend who walks with me.
Leads me safely thru the sinking sand, It is the Christ of Calvary;
This would be my prayer dear Lord, each day to help me do the best I can
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night Blessed Jesus hold my hand
CHORUS
Jesus, Hold my hand, I need Thee every hour,
Thru this pilgrim land, protect me by Thy power;
Hear my feeble plea, O Lord, look down on me,
When I kneel in prayer I hope to meet you there,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.

My husband was in there with me and he said it was weird watching my hand just jump up and down.
Please pray that I stay calm and not worry myself till I'm bedfast.

for all the support, thoughts, and prayers

I am so sorry that you are having to go through all of this. I have had way more than my fair share of MRI's. I have had 3 brain surgeries for AVM (basically abnormal veins that swell up and rupture). Fun, right?! Despite having probably 30-some MRI's (SERIOUSLY), I still get antsy sometimes. When I first started having them, I had to get mega doses of valium to get through it. I hope you don't have to have that many of them, but if you have to have another, ask for valium! As for the cyst on your brain, I have a friend who's only 19 with one. The docs found it when she was 18. It hasn't grown in the time since they found it. It does make her have bad, bad headaches. But other than that, she's fine. I'll be thinking about you and subscribing to the thread. Feel free to email or PM me!

That's no fun when they say those things and say don't worry.

Psalm 91:4

He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.


Love in Christ,

Teresa,
I'm sorry things are so hard on you still

I'm curious as to why they are sending you to a neurologist for a cyst on your thyroid. Cyst on your brain, neurologist yes. Seems to me they would send you to a endocrinologist for the thyroid.

Hang in there.

everyone
Talked to my cousin who works for a Ear/Nose/Throat specialist and she said yep she sees a lot of cyst on thyroid and yes most always are benign. That eased my mind a lot so I will just take it one day at a time. It stinks cause I still don't know why my fingers are numb/tingling but at least I have them and that is what helps me get through this.
gritsar ~I was upset so maybe I misunderstood and he is sending me to neurosurgen for both. The surgeons office is only open on Wed and Thursday so I should be getting a call today or tomorrow. I will let ya know when it is. I have a huge bruise from the EMG that hurt like crazy on some of the jolts and your right about laying on that table. I had to lay flat on my back and that along made me pretty sore. I should also be getting an appointment for my ss hearing soon. Just hope I can keep my sanity through all this mess and not go completely crazy.
mychickensrock ~WOW is all I can say and

I will ask for valium to get through the next one cause even though it is open it still is not open all the way or enough for me.

Teresa,
I may be wrong but maybe the cyst is causeing your brain to "misfire" sort of speak. The cyst may be interfering with the messages your brain is sending and causeing nerve pain ? Could be like bad wiring in a lamp and you get misfires. I dont know but it is worth asking. Good Luck and well wishes!

Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, and support

I am still waiting for them to call with my appt to the neurosurgeon. I

yesterday but know that I must put it in God's hands. It just confuses me and worries me cause I have had a lot of bad news when it comes to my health. I don't worry about me cause I know where I am going but for my children, dh, mom & dad, and family. My Uncle told me last night not to worry till we know something for sure and it is only the cyst on my brain that makes me
