Melissa and the neurologist part 2

Okay, so yesterday we go to Melissa's Neurologist appointment. Apparently this is a disease that you can't test positive for...in other words the only way to know for sure she has it is to test for EVERYthing else that could be causing her symptoms and if she doesn't have any of those then we can be sure she has Pseudo Tumor Cerebri. So the took some blood and are making sure she isn't pregnant or has a rare blood disease. We will soon be doing an MRI for her since sometimes CTscans miss tumors. They also upped her dosage of the medicine. Which she has come to dislike, because it apparently tastes Awful.

They also are working with her to lose wight since it is one of the risk factors. Also one of their doctors is doing research into a possible connection with sleep apnea so we are going to be taking part in that doctor's sleep study to see if that will help her, too. They did not give her another LP, but said that if they have to they will because her headaches have been getting really bad again. The one day she missed a dose of the meds she thought her head was going to explode.

Thank you for all of your prayers.
