The last week has been pretty busy. Last Thursday I went in to have an MRI on my brain--to check and see if my spinal pressure was low (because I have had a constant headache for the last 6 weeks or so). When I got there I needed to also schedule an MRI on my knee (due to some pain and instability from my ehlers danlos), and luckily and so nice as they were, they just did both MRIs at the same time.
I got a phone call that night from my neurologist, and the good news was that my spinal pressure was not low, the bad news, we still didn't know for sure what was going on with these headaches. So, yesterday I went back into the doctor's office and they had to do a spinal tap to check and see if the spinal pressure was too high. Good news again, my spinal pressure was normal! Yea! The neurologist said that it sounds like since my spinal pressure is normal, which is good, that I have chronic migraines and that due to some of the pain medicine doctor's have given me for my joints and my kidney stones, it has caused them to get worse.
As far as the MRI on my knee, it did show a tear in my meniscus (the cartilage in my knee), and I go to the doctor today to find out what is going on for sure with that.
Other than those things, nothing too much new or exciting is going on. This semester of school gets done in like 4 weeks so I am super excited about that! Yea!!! And, I was able to have a wonderful, fun, well-needed movie night with Jenna the other night...thank you SO much Jenna for always being there for me--I love ya to death girly and I honestly don't know what I'd do without you!
I am continually blessed with an amazing family and great friends who I love so much and am so grateful for, and also a loving Savior and Father in Heaven who continually watch over me!
