Hi Everyone:
I am scheduled to have an MRI of my brain on Monday. I used to post on this board and I hope that you don't mind that I come back with another question. Some of you may remember my story, but I had a sudden onset of crazy neuro symptoms back about two years ago (facial numbness, numbness in feet/toes, pain in feet and hands, tingling/pulsating/vibration in legs, trembling, etc.). Anyhow, an MRI revealed 20 small scattered lesions throughout my brain, not typical of MS. All other tests ruled out MS.
Six months later, another MRI showed no changes. Now, a year after the second MRI, I am scheduled to have a final MRI on Monday to completely rule out MS. I tested positive for Lyme in January 2011, began treatment and have made a lot of progress. I still worry about MS though....
My question is....I am having a lot of dizziness - I think because of the meds I'm on because the dizziness started right after starting the new meds of Zithromax and Rifampin. I am worried that this dizziness may somehow affect my MRI.....does anyone have any information that this will or will not affect my MRI? I don't have dizziness when just keeping my head in normal position, but if I tilt my head to the left or look up like at the sky..whoa...dizzy!
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and I very much appreciate your time in helping me out on this.
Thanks!
Carrie
