I just heard from the eyeball neuro. No brain tumour but she needs to look at the aneurysm thing in greater detail. My thinking is if it doesn’t have a flashing neon sign saying ‘aneurysm this way’ – I ain’t concerned!!
It showed up that I have a very deep seated sinus infection which she’s surprised I’m not complaining about more! She said I’m obviously very tolerant of pain… I’m married ..DUH!!!
There is paralysis of nerves around the eye socket that ‘we have to discuss options for and she wants to retest my eyes to see if I can just have prism lenses for now or if I need surgery on my eyeballs sooner rather than later. You know me, I’ll be pushing surgery out as far as I can!
She said the tests are borderline for myasthenia gravis so I have to start taking meds for that too. I have no idea what myasthenia gravis even is. It sounds like a Motown singer though!
My next appointment is scheduled for 6th March but she will call again if she sees anything more on the scans once she’s had a closer look and once the headache neuro has had a look too.
So that’s all good! I’m kinda disappointed I didn’t have these brain scan cds years ago. Do you want to come up and see my circle of Willis would have been an awesome chat up line!!
The photo is ice on the cliffs on the New York Thruway near New Amsterdam earlier today.
Prayers!! Keep that sense of humor!

If there is an aneurysm they generally won’t do anything unless it is a certain size because the risk of removing a small one is greater than the chances it will do any harm. Does the sinus infection or myasthenia gravis explain your symptoms? Hoping the treatments will help.
LikeLiked by 2 people
The sinus infection doesn’t explain anything symptom wise, the myasthenia gravis could have been a one stop shop except some of it just doesn’t tie to that so it’s kind of a fish and chips diagnosis. It fits with the other stuff but neither one is the whole meal by itself! I thought I’d give it a food allegory for you!

I used to suffer from severe sinus issues growing up and took powerful meds in high school when we were living in NJ in a densely rural area. Most of my issues were resolved once we moved back to Virginia but over the years have had chronic sinus infections. I’m currently suffering from tinnitus that my doctor thinks is related to my sinuses (just started a few weeks ago). I used to have horrible headaches the entire time I lived in NJ. I was treated only after an inner ear infection stemming from my sinus issues temporarily deadened the left side of my face.
Saying all this because I know what hell sinus issues can wreak. It wouldn’t surprise me if all paths lead back to those infernal canals. If so, it’s a whole lot easier to treat! Hoping this all gets resolved without messing with your precious brain.

Oh Britchy,
Don’t push off anything concerning a possible aneurysm. The mere word just terrifies me. My sweet aunt died at 32 from an aneurysm. I waved at our maintenance man as he enter his apt at lunch one day. He said he had a bad headache and was going to lay down during his break. He never woke up. It’s a fearsome word that I don’t want to hear connected to you at all.

Deep seated sinus infection… It takes an MRI to find a sinus infection? I thought sinus infections were obvious but, that’s just me. I guess they can cause migraines?
Aneurysm is a bad word, too. Please keep us posted.

I’ve had sinusitis and I was very aware of that! Whatever infection this is, it’s not causing pain. I haven’t even got a blocked nose or anything but my husband had already pointed that out on the scan images anyway.

Yikes! Years ago, I had a sinus infection like that. After 3 10-day courses of increasingly strong antibiotics, my doctor said, “Golly, that’s really socked in there! Let’s try one more thing, and if that doesn’t work, we may need to admit you for some IV antibiotics.” Fortunately, the 4th course did the trick. Good luck, Britchy!
