go to NIH's medlineplus.org site & paste your question in there. It came up with many results
the web page was so long it went super wide, so I deleted it. Again copy/paste your question there and there is info to read.
What did your MD say about your spec results? You are entitled to a copy of this report & all others. You need to sign a release of info to get them.

That's from the radiologist's report. I always make sure to get copies of everything, as I am dealing with a Workman's Comp. issue. Haven't spoken to the doc yet, I have a bit more pressing questions... Like the fact that I wake up in the middle of the night petrified becuase I don't know who, or where I am. It's expecially not fun because my boyfriend and I live together, so we're afraid that one of these days I'm going to start beating on him.

Hubby often wakes up disoriented -- doesn't know what time it is or what day of the week it is etc. At these times I am just the nightnurse -- not his wife of 14 years.
He has been in the hospital too many times and his brain always seems to go back to the same memories. When he is confused and says the wrong words they are always the same ones -- after a while I have learned some of his Lyme vocabulary.
If he asks for a "brain bag" -- he thinks he needs IV antibiotics.
If he mentions the "fireplace man", or "christmas tree doc" I have learned which doctors he is thinking about. A former LLMD had an address of Fireplace Springs Road.
There are many more examples that have just become 2nd nature.
When I boss on hubby too much he is always asking for a new night nurse!
After a "seizure-like" episode once I tried to show him my driver's license with my picture on it -- that didn't help. I was still the night nurse. It might be worth a try though to keep a picture of you and your boyfriend on the nightstand by your bed.
I wouldn't worry about this too much unless you are actually experiencing panic attacks. If the anxiety is too severe then you shouldn't ignore it.
