Thank you all, some progress on symptoms
« on: September 19, 2010, 10:31:55 am »
I cannot thank you on this Bulletin Board enough for the info about the House Institute free MRI analysis from my earlier post about my symptoms, internal muscle jitters especially, not matching the dx of AN.  The House Institute called me back Friday and suggested I get a balance test as they think there are other possibilities for the small mass such as meningioma.  The severity of my symptoms are increasing daily & making my life difficult, so I am pushing for this to happen fast, but insurance moves slow.  There are so many possibilities even perhaps something not caused by the brain tumor.  If I truly have AN, I will return here.  You are my heros!  Hugs to all, Joy
