3 Month Post-CK MRI
« on: June 13, 2010, 05:22:24 am »
My doc ordered a 3 month MRI due to some issues I've had post-CK, including subtle vision changes and blood pressure problems.  I talked with his nurse this week, and she read me some of report.  It said "there appeared to be some devascularization," and there "was no edema near the brainstem."  I didn't get the particulars, such as size, but I'm very happy that it looks like the blood supply is dying and all is proceeding as expected.  The MRI also said the rest of my brain looks good.

I go see a neurologist this week about vision issue.  I saw opthalmologist last week who said problem is neurological.  I think my blood pressure is stabilizing, hope to get off meds this summer.  In general, I feel quite good at this point. No dizziness, hearing/tinnitus about the same as pre-CK
Rt. side 14mm x 11mm near brain stem
Severe higher frequency hearing loss
I use a hearing aid (Dot 20 by Resound)
Balance issues improving!!!!

Glad to hear you're doing better especially the BP problems.  And relieved to hear the CK is working on what I refer to as the alien invasion.  Honestly, sometimes it feels like it doesn't it.
Take care,
