headache S/P MRI with contrast today
« on: November 28, 2007, 02:43:21 pm »
Had my MRI today. It took an hour. They did contrast . Looking at Brain and C-spine for any other issues other than my AN on the left. I have a terrible headache. This hasn't happened before ( with the previous MRI's). ??? Has anyone experienced this. It is the worst headache ever. I have been drinking alot of H2O to see if that helps. Now I wait again for answers. My face is numb on the left and the tinnitus is constant and LOUD! Sorry, I need to vent. Maybe ,I'll just go back and lay down. My best to all. Helen
Dx, AN left IAC, 3x9x2x3mm. Now 5x5mm , Nov. 07. Watch and wait for now.

Hope you are feeling better - you can "vent" as much as you want.
9th cranial nerve schwannoma - like an acoustic neuroma on another nerve. Have recently been told it could be acoustic neuroma. Only 7 mm of growth in 18 years. With no symptoms. Continuing W&W

Helen,

I take it that your numbness and headaches are new. unlikely to be a result of the MRI (but hey, I'm no quack) hopefully it is a temp thing and will go away. If it doesn't, you may need to talk to your medicos about attacking your AN.

keep us posted
