I thought it would pass...But after 2 weeks, I decided it was time to call my Neurologist.
I'm typically the one who toughs it out when it comes to things like this...Heck, when I had mono last year, my hubby practically had to nail the bedroom door shut, to keep me from trying to get up to clean or deal with the family.
But I have learned this hard lesson...If I don't take care of myself...I could getting sicker...then what?
I made a call to my Neurologist this week, to schedule a check up...which I know will end in being given an MRI to check the status of my hydrocephalus and brain tumor. I am half nervous and excited...to find out the cause of my daily dizziness. More just anxious for an answer, I guess.
The hydrocephalus I have in short is-Untreatable. The tumor is called a lipoma, which hasn't grown in 3 yrs. So I have no idea why I have been having these dizzy spells.
So...Monday, it's off to the Neuro to hopefully get some answers!
Have a GREAT weekend everyone!
Hi! I have NF too. Are you saying the dizziness might be caused by the NF? I've been having on and off dizziness since October. I went to my doctor. She suggested Meclizine (medication) and a visit to a physical therapist for an ocular type treatment called Epley (it seemed to do the trick temporarily but not permanently). If your doctor gives you any suggestions for dizziness with NF I would love to know what they are!
ReplyDeleteVirtigo is a common complaint with people that have NF. With MY case, the Drs are thinking it has more to do with my hydrocephalus.
DeleteI didn't really have much problems with dizziness until recently....I will probably blog about what I find out on Monday. :)
PS: How can I get a bracelet in the photo? My mom and I both have NF.
ReplyDeleteI took the link to order down, for now....Because I am in the process of re-ordering. I will let you know when I get more :)
