The aliens have completed their testing on me. They called today to let me know, http://youtu.be/OaTO8_KNcuo
I knew the MRI was going to be loud and claustrophobic, but I asked for ear plugs, and I shut my eyes before being pushed in. You wouldn't think you had to go in so far when its just your brain they are looking at, but they push you in up to your waist. The tube isn't wide enough for your arms, so they have to sit up on your chest a bit. I crossed mine and did my best vampire pose, eyes shut. The technician attached a mirror to my head cradle if I wanted to look out, but that is disorienting as well, so I did best just keeping my eyes shut and focusing on breathing.
The machine is loud. You first hear the magnet zooming around and it almost sounds like a heartbeat. It was easy for me to imagine I was safe, in the womb, but then the machine proceeds to make much louder, strange noises. For awhile I thought I was at a horrible rock concert with the guitarist strumming the same note over and over, again and again.
They pulled me out and injected me with aquatic creature residue, aka, contrast. I did have a slight metallic taste in my mouth, but it wasn't too bad. I knew there was going to be chocolate in my future, so I could put up with it.
Back in I went for another round, although it didn't last as long as the first series. I was just happy the loud noise didn't trigger my TN.
The nurse from my nuerologist called and said I do have several blood vessels that are sitting up against my trigeminal nerve. I'm choosing to be positive. Its not a tumor. Its not MS. Its several blood vessels bullying my nerves. I will have a follow up appointment in October and for now, they are keeping me on Tegretol, which I'm thankful, has taken the edge off for me.
I am continuing to use healing meditations and relaxation to encourage my body to HEAL ITSELF!! The way I see it, I've had these blood vessels all of my life. My nerves needs to restore their myelin protective coating and be happy once again. I'm not giving them any other choice. GET TO HEALING NERVE CELLS!!

Hi Dawn! I was so happy to see this news on FB today!! Praise God. I wonder if there is anything they can do about the blood vessels pushing against your nerve? You are right to continue with your healing attitude, for sure. I'm glad the meds have taken the edge off, but healing will be so much better. Knowing what the problem is, is more than half the battle. Wishing you a pain-free weekend!
Keep up the attitude, I believe as you do!
