since i'm leaving saturday i called the neuro's office and asked if they would kindly give me results before i left (or else i'd worry myself into a grave over it before i got back). the nurse was really nice.
she told me absolutely no signs of anything either in bloodwork or on the eeg. all normal, EXCEPT MY GLUCOSE IS HIGH. she asked if anyone is diabetic in the family and I said both parents and now two sisters.
she said there was "absolutely no sign of inflammation on the sed rate or any part of the tests". he ordered a bunch including arthritis (normal), cbc (normal), and some others (all normal). only thing that showed up abby normal was glucose.
she said i should monitor what i eat, eat no sugar, and get the weight down and exercise.
i'll make the appt for the mri when i get back.
whew, i was sweating this really big time, i mean BIG TIME.
i'm glad. so now i can go with llmd and be free of other worries. lyme is enough to worry about anyway.
i have another appt with the new llyme doc on may lst. better not have tornadoes...
did i tell you how much in really really like my new doc? even if i do have to drive a ton to get there.
wonder if the sun will come up tomorrow? LOL....

Funny that you mentioned Diabetic.I have had the same symtoms as you have and when babesia and FL1953 bug became activated I had the same exact test comming up .
I treated babesia ( lyme and bartonella as well before that )ans now this test was better NORMAL.Surprise. I am not healed but they are not saying I am diabetic.
While at the moment ( i had taken high dosages of artemisin for parasites and babesia came back fully forced almost killed me ) and my test showed diabetic range ( warnings) .
So it started with HIgh colesterol , than anemia, than Wbc low and diabetic ( besides , TMJ ,ear pain , migranes, spine pain , hip pain , knee pain etc etc etc anxiety, than vertigo than preasure in the head than chocking to death , vomiting etc etc )....over a decade or two.
LYME and coinfections were activating one after the other over the time of the years this test starting getting worst during over e period of years of those test.
Now after treating them ( not eradicating ) the RBC , LBC , and NOt diabetic.

Great news Randi. I was wondering why the doctor tested you for temporal arteritis?

I am happy for you, Randibear. I belong to support group for people with vestibular problems on Facebook and there are many people there with severe head aches, referred to as vestibular migraines.
The woman who heads the group has Lyme (also has a child with Lyme (contracted through pregnancy) and she is constantly trying to educate people about it. Some of the group members have been diagnosed with Lyme - and some need to be educated about the possibility that they may have.
There have been postings about migraines and severe head aches that might be helpful to you. If you are interested in joining the group, I think you can just press 'LIKE' when you get on the page - but if you have trouble, please PM me and I will take care of getting you in.
