Update 5 year MRI results
mwatto:
Hi all just checking in - no change to AN or hearing this year. A big relief as I had RSV and Covid last year and was worried!
Also I checked with my specialist on something - one cant take antioxidants during treatment but after 5 years post CK, he said fine re supplements I am taking.
He also said he prefers it if I continue to come in every year so I will. Plus they can track brain health generally.
DanFouratt:
Great news!
SP:
Great news Michele!!! Curious as to why every year?

Thank you much Dan and Stella! x
Yes I dont get it either. He is very old and a bit vague so I dont know except he said he just prefers it. I do get my own reports and I am seeing a neurosurgeon Prof Lewis this Friday- only because I made the appt a year ago re ear pain when I lie on that side and because some non-specific white matter hyperintensities in cerebellum showed on MRI last year. My GP said ageing most prob the cause.
Prof Lewis is an expert on radiation and AN and I have questions such as supplements and if I am at risk for dementia post radiation and viral infections. My attitude is that the annual MRI its free - plus its a good way to check my brain health too as I get older- am 63 now. I feel fantastic health wise and would like to stay that way.
