Some Results

The blood test that was done on Monday afternoon, the results are shown below:

Jan 06, 2025 1:46 pm	Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)	1.95 uIU/mL	0.27-4.200 uIU/mL
Jan 06, 2025 1:46 pm	Vitamin B12 Level	886 pg/mL	239-931 pg/mL

Seems that the values were within the normal range; so, nothing obvious there.

On Tuesday I had an EEG which seemed to go OK. I haven’t been able to find any results on the web site but the nurse administrating the test seemed satisfied with the results.

This morning, I had an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Lindsay had these done on a regular basis. I was in and out in 40 minutes the first thing in the morning. The results are already posted on the website by this afternoon, but I don’t think there is an easy way to import them into this webpage. I have gone through them and although I obviously don’t have MS (none of the artifacts of dead areas), I’ll have to wait for the doctor to evaluate them.

I got a call from Dr. Santiago’s nurse to see about scheduling a follow up with him. I discussed not having completed the Lumbar Puncture so she said she would check with the doctor to see what he wanted to do.

Shortly thereafter, I got a call to schedule the Lumbar Puncture on Friday, but the scheduler discovered that the PA who did the procedure was out on Friday, so it is scheduled for Tuesday Morning. You have a two-hour observation period after the procedure, so I won’t get out until about 11:00 or so. Jan or Mike will drop me off, and (hopefully) pick me up afterwards.

Also, on Tuesday afternoon I have my Echocardiogram, for the other issue, poor circulation in my lower legs and feet. Thats a follow up to see what is causing poor circulation.

Expect to have updates next week.
