Shit going on with me...

---

Went to a second doc today becuase I was just sure that my problems were being caused by an inner ear infection. Well I was wrong. No infections. This doc said that the first one I went to is doing everything right. I did manage to make myself ask this guy more questions. I asked what they're looking for or think it might be. He said givin my family history and the symptoms he's leaning towards a brain anurizm (sp?). My dad and his brother and my grandpa all died of anurizms. The doc told me not to strain at all. No sex, no drugs, no rock and roll. I'm not supposed to pick up anything heavy... Even on the shitter he told me not to strain... just sit there and let it happen. That would be just my luck pinching off a loaf and blow a gasket. I can see it now, Scotty found dead on toilet in mid shit!...I wasn't scared before, now I kinda am. 34 is to young to get my ticket punched.

No sex! That's a strain in itself.With all that family history an aneurysm (also spelt aneurism) seems quite plausible.

Yeah, the doc told me to have all my affairs in order... just in case.

Thanks, Rad.I just don't know what to do about my family. My wife 'll be okay. She's gorgeous and well organized and can get by or get a new man without any problem if she wants. I don't know what to do about my mom though.But then again, all this may be nothing.

hugs You are definitly in my thoughts too.....well, you already were before, but for naughty reasons. Seriously though, I hope everything goes well with your tests and such.

Thanks... On Wednesday (the day before I went to the second doctor) July 29th seemed like it was just around the corner, now it seems like it's forever away.The 29th is when I see the neurologist.

HUG I'll keep you in my thoughts babe! I'm sure all will be fine! Take it easy and relax.

Thinking of you, Scotty.

So, still no word from Scotty? Hope everything is ok.

Just to let you guys know he is alive, he posted a couple comments on my myspace page. So he's alive :smile:

Yes, I'm still alive... or maybe I'm posting from beyond the grave. :grin:

I'm just a little off, still, but hell I've always been a little off.

What's the medical situation looking like, Scotty?

No fucking clue.

The docs have determined that it's not an aneurysm, that's great! (woo hoo) I've had 3 MRI's as of yesterday. I'm scheduled for an EEG soon. The vertigo is getting worse. That's the bad part.

The headaches are still here and my ability to think clearly is a little foggy, but not foggy bad or anything. Other than that it's all good. They keep tryin' to give me mega drugs for the headaches but I won't go get 'em. I can handle the headaches so there's no need for pain killers.

I fell again the other day and sprang the shit of my right wrist. That's the shits for jackin' time... lucky I got a women to help. :wink:

I still say it's all stress, kinda like panic attacks. As soon as they ruled out aneurysm that's what I thought anyway. My wife and mom agree with me but the docs say "No" and "we need to do more tests."

If it is stress, the job's not worth it. But these would be unusually heavy symptoms of stress, and I think the doctors are doing the right thing checking for other causes.

Well it's official, I have a brain tumor. I haven't told anyone yet. I don't know much of anything about it. It on or near or something around the pituitary, part, piece whatever. I don't know how big it is or anything. I was a little to stunned to ask anything.

They've set me up with a neurosurgeon for the 18th of this month but he's going to try and get me in faster.

Anyway.... Ain't life grand. :wink:

And yes, I am scared shitless.

Awww crap man... That sucks.. If you get more details let us know.. Thinking of ya.

I'm taking my dad in on the 17th for heart valve replacement.. It's hard to imagine what it really feels like having to go under the knife. I hope it all works out for you.

Thanks, I'm going to read the 4 MRI reports tonight and will more than likely be on the computer asking or looking for explanations of what it says.

I don't know much about how accessible that area of the brain is.. Hopefully it is and they can get at it. I guess that's what the Neurosurgeon is going to discuss with you on the 18th.Yeah I looked up the Pituitary.. Seems like a very shitty place to have a tumor.. More importantly, lets hope its not a cancerous tumor.
