| Re: MRI report
Well, I did just go through this and I actually did bring my MRI report & CD home with me, and just for the fun of it (ok, I know that sounds weird) my SIL & I looked at the Cd, which is like looking at the films. He is a Med Student, and I am pretty familiar with brain scans since my son had 2 brain surgeries, so we had a fun half hour looking. I had a few white spots that we both felt ought not to have been there, but things looked normal. I also had the radiologist report, too. He'd said there were indicators of possible STROKES. That freaked me out. Super long story and four wrong diagnoses later, I did not and do not suffer from strokes, but I still have migraines in spite of taking a large prophylactic dose of Topomax am & pm. Very weird, but having had both MRI & MRA'S plus a ton of other scans, I at least know my h/a's aren't due to narrowed arteries or such. Now I have an appt in Oct. to go to a h/a clinic.
I was hoping the MRI would show a clear reason for the h/as. Sometimes they do--often they don't. Usually they are just used to rule out other things. When you get you MRI, try to get a copy of the radiolgists report, too. It might help you to understand what's going on.
All the best!
