MRI Results

Well everyone the results are in. I do not have a tumor so that is the good news. I have whats called empty sella syndrome. It's a spot in the bottom of your brain that holds your pituitary gland (this gland is in charge of almost all of your hormone regulation) Well this hole looks like it is empty on the MRI (hence the "empty" part of the syndrome) and my gland is flattened somehow. Right around that is a bony area called the sella turcica and mine is swollen. But that's as much as I know. The doctor didn't know much about it except that it isn't life threatening. I will have to see an endocrinologist for further information and testing. Overall I am not sure what it all means or what is to come but at least it has a name and I'm still dizzy. So I know that I move on from here.

Also there is a huge possibility that this time next year that I could be living in Bahrain or south of San Francisco. For the hubbies duty station. More to come on that front.
