What really threw me was that I also lost the ability to form words. (I was looking at a picture of a flower in a bathroom, for instance, and could not come up with the word. "flow-er.") Can you imagine Kristen?? For a word person! I also had a MRI. Like your doctor, mine diagnosed a migraine, explaining they manifest differently for different people. No words, massive headaches, even overwhelming smells. I've found I have them (whatever they are) when I'm doing far too much. Like having a baby! That was the last time I had one of these "numbies." Even without an extreme circumstance, not taking time to breath = not enough oxygen. Our poor lil' bodies crack. Pare it back! So anyway, is it Lyme?????????

Lord, what a mess. I bet it is all going to go away on it's own too. So sorry you have to deal with this. I recommend Xanax. WTF?? Lord, what a mess. I bet it is all going to go away on it’s own too.

I'm going in at 7:30 am for an MRI of my brain & cervical spine. I hope they find the cause of my headaches & it's easily treatable. The carpal tunnel needle test sounds worse than an MRI. Can you get a Valium for that test too? Also, my MRI is an open MRI machine, created for those of us who panic in confined spaces (maybe you could ask for an open MRI machine for the next one). They said I could bring my iPod & they would play my music for me. Sounds fancy. I'm sure it will cost a bloody fortune. Best wishes! Glad your MRI results were good.
