not a AN !!!
« on: September 12, 2006, 09:51:33 am »
My wife's best friend ... I consider her a close friend, and who went to House with us! .. has been complaining about .. yep, you guessed it .. fullness of her ear,dizziness, facial numbness, to many tears!, and ringing in her ears (news to me she's had T for a few years),headaches , and fatigue.... of course I said to get an MRI with contrast ... she did, and it came back clean!  (I did not see it) Now I'm very happy she does not have a AN .. but I'm wondering now, what does she have? any ideas ? I realize we are not Doctors, but I can't help thinking about it .. should we send the MRI's to House anyway?

the thing I was most concerned of when I went in for my MRI was MS.    she may want to go and see a neurologist.
