Brain Games

Just had a physical with my Doctor and told him about a couple of minor issues I had and he sent me to have an MRI of my brain and a visit with a Neurologist. Thankfully all is well. Nothing unusual or disturbing and I just got home from the Neurologist's office where I had an EEG of my brain. He wanted that because the issues were related to Migraine symptoms. Not anything to do with headaches since I never have headaches. The Migraine thing is electrical patterns in your brain and they trigger certain events. Headaches for some folks and visual issues like temporary blindness in an eye, hallucinations (not the LSD kind) and dizziness. Nothing like that is going on in my brain any more.

I am so happy because the EEG is perfectly normal. Nice to know and I'll be sleeping better not laying there worrying that I have Alzheimer's disease. That's an issue because it was what my mother died from. That's a trigger for me to be concerned because it could be hereditary and now I know I have nothing to worry about. and all my concerns are remedied. That makes me happy as a puppy with a filet mignon.
