Hey Guys
Just a quick post to say that I have just had my second MRI scan. I won't know the results until I see my consultant in a few weeks. Obviously I am praying that everything will look completely normal just like the results of my first MRI back in 2009. I did experience a slight spinning sensation during the first 60 seconds or so as I was put into the machine. There was a moment when I thought I would have to hit the alarm thinking I would not be able to lay flat on my back for the 20 minute duration. I found something to focus my jumping gaze on above me though and thankfully the unnerving spins subsided and I got through it ok. Apart from the first minute the most uncomfortable part was actually sitting up after the scans. You guys who are dizzy will know what I mean. Anyway that is that over with.
Next I am to complete 2-3 new balance examinations/tests that I have never had before which is exciting. One is the posturography test, a fistula test and one that I don't recall the name of but it examines the functioning of all three semi circular canals in the ear. I did have a caloric test years ago but have learned that it only examines one of the semi circular canals. The new test is supposedly better and more accurate as it examines all 3. I guess I will find out if I have any inner ear weakness. I'm due to have those tests in two weeks time. I will be back to let you know how it goes.
