[cut to shorten]



The doctor who ordered the MRI is a neurologist I havent seen for
a
couple months(took that long to get it authorized), and
I had'nt really planned on going back to him since I see Dr.Boyd
with
a really good neurologist. Anyways, the MRI
is scheduled for tomorrow for the bilateral TMJs, and Im trying
to
decide if I should cancel or not.

Did you ask Dr. Boyd what he thinks?  What do you have to lose by
delaying it until you talk to him? *And* ask if you might be better
served by getting a CT scan instead or in addition to an MRI *if*
it's
time to get studies at this point.

I cancelled it and sent him an email. I hate that im not doing better
and feel like
a complete nuisance. I can even concentrate with this pain. I think i
better drop my classes as well.
People just look at me like im the biggest grouch in the world. I
guess its all showing on my facial expression.

jerm, I have to do a few things and then I'll be back with some
comments.

Webby

No prob, thanks.....Jim just emailed me and said about the MRI that I
should
go for it. its not giving me a good feeling.

Did you ask him why you should have an MRI instead of a CT ... *or* why
you should have both?  You can tell him that I asked you to ask him.  I
have no problem with that.

Webby

I only let him know by email that I could get it done and paid for,
and he just sent a short reply
saying to go for it, and that it might solve a mystery, as ive been
plaguing him for a while now.
Im guessing that not having a dramatic resolution by now my chances
are dwindling possibly.

Thanks Webby

*NO*. No one said your chances of a resolution are dwindling. You
forgot about the *patience* part of it all. ...

You're tired of it all ... that doesn't mean you should conclude
anything yet. Get some rest tonight and arise tomorrow with some
strength you do not have right now at the end of the day.

I am going to start a new thread about this subject tomorrow. It's time
to shift gears just a bit.
