An Answer is Coming
Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 11:13AM 
I got a call yesterday from my neurologists office regarding the MRI I was waiting for approval on.
So I have an appointment on Monday morning to have the MRI done and hopefully an answer to the strange way my head has been feeling. Remember the whole Spinal Tap, Can’t sit down to blog, Stand up Vlog week?
In case you missed it, I have been experiences this strange head rushes. The best way to describe it is, imagine a power surge in your head. I get a rush, my vision dims like I am going to pass out, and then it’s gone. This has happened at different times and I cannot put my finger any trigger.
It’s like when the air conditioner turns on and all of the lights dim, that is what it feels like in my head.
After the MRI, I am waiting to get the approval for an EEG. After that point if nothing is found we may need to try a whole different approach. I am just thankful that I found a neurologist who wants to help me any way she can.
In more medical news, I have scheduled another blood draw next week for my up coming endo appointment. This is the blood draw that will prove if I am a type 1 to my endo. Because, he doesn’t believe me apparently. And I’ll see if the CGMS and Symlin has truly helped my a1c. I am actually looking forward to the appointment.
I cannot believe World Diabetes Day is in 2 days! I am so nervous and excited and nervous. Did I mention nervous? I hope you like my surprise.

My old endo had that done too... cause he apparently thought that I might be T2...even though I was diagnosed at 4 yrs old. But hey, what do we know, right? ;)
Awwww, This all sounds like so much fun... NOT! But you will hopefully get answers about the 'rushes' you're feeling.
I was dx-ed in 84 at the age of 28. but have seen my c-peptide test was under 0.5 picumoles, was 'Too low for the lab to read'. Not sure if they'd run a new one. or if it could change. Most likely when I turn 55, Medicare will take over and I'll have to get another done.
It drives me nuts to know your endo doesn't believe you're type 1.
I hope the MRI provides some answers for you. It really sucks to have medical problems without knowing what's causing it. That's how it was with my frozen shoulder for almost 2 years. i was so stinking relieved when I got a correct diagnosis from like the 5th specialist i went to see about it, and then got treatment.
Preface: I am not a Dr:) just sharing. My son's friend was having double vision and sometimes balance issues, I believe...can't remember all his symptoms. After an MRI, they've diagnosed it as Migraines! Weird thing is, he has no headache's with them! Hoping you get answers soon.
Good luck with the endo and I hope everything turns out just perfect with the MRI. Take care.
Hey there, Ninja!
Just curious, (and I'm sure they have), but have you had any test run on your heart when this happens to you?
Hope you have a good report today.
