Dissapointments

So I had my neurology appointment today.

After a battery of test that could be done in the office, I had a laundry list of tests I now have to go do over the course of this month. I have to have a Tilt Table test, an MRI, an EEG, and a full blood work up.

The TT test is going to be strapping me up to a table and pumping full of drugs to make my heart go nuts. Then they'll flip me upside-down and right-side up over and over and over until I pass out. You've probably seen this on House.

The MRI, yet another thing they like to do on House, is where you get put into a magnetic tube and they take pictures. For instance, of your brain like I'm having. I cannot forget to take my tongue stud out or I will loose it in the most painful way. There would be lots and lots of blood and probably broken teeth. That would definitely suck.

EEG is the test where they monitor the electric impulses in the brain by putting wires on your head. They attach them with what appears to be marshmallow fluff. It's damn hard to wash out. I'm so not cutting it out of my hair, but that's always a possibility for guys anyway.

The full blood panel I skipped on getting today because I was too depressed to bother doing it. The very end of my visit, the doctor decided to tell me that as per Wisconsin Law, any time you loose consciousness due to a seizure or head injury, your driver's license is revoked for 90 days.

My driver's license is revoked!

... for 90 DAYS!

GAH!!!

I'm falling into the medically weird area again, because the Doc wasn't sure if it is seizures or not. She said it might be something else called POTS or POTTS...

Gimme a sec and I'll look it up...

Please cross your fingers and hope for seizures.
