Is This Even Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia?

    Sick, Sick, Sick! I've rested and slept, I've laid around and slacked. On Friday J took off so that we could spend the day together since our  7th anniversary was on Sunday. I woke up and seemed to finally be feeling good. We had to 1st spend some quality time at the DMV so that J could get his license. Then we went out to eat. After we headed over to get my MRI results. That's where the day started to go bad. We made it there and I was feeling sick again. Are you kidding me? I have been eating lightly but I guess my choice in luncheon spots was too greasy/oily. We got the reports and came home. I laid down and it seems as if I just got up this morning. I'm telling you I have become great company. Yesterday I opened my eyes and J asked me if I would like him to go get donuts. Those didn't sit so well either. I fell back asleep until he got back home. I woke up ate and was asleep again until about 6pm.

    When I got my head together last night I read the MRI Reports. I guess that's why they don't send you a copy. You'll freak yourself out. It read 'Right Frontal Lobe Developmental Venomous Anomonly'. What the crap is that? Is that new? I put in the disk and went through 240 pictures over and over again. I see it. In short, from my research a DVA is a puddle of some sort. How I am understanding it, it is when the blood vessels do not have any where to flow through to and it can cause a stroke or hemorrhages. This is not so rare, it actually is something 2-5% of people are born with it. Some so no symptoms at all, and with others it is only found when looking for something else. Symptoms are arm and leg weakness & pain. Sounds similar to my new symptoms, but facial pain was not listed. I'm not going to worry until I see my neurologists before we head to UCLA.


I added one of the MRI pictures that shows alittle of what I'm talking about. Plus I think it's right in line for Halloween with my big eyeballs. Until I am completely feeling better I will stick with soup. I went to the store and stocked up on plenty.
