Are you familiar with the phrase ā€œtoo much informationā€? Because that’s exactly what it was invented for. :joy::joy:

Did @BTripz teach you that then?

Either that, or she was trying to find his wallet.

By the cringe, am I relieved…today I had feedback on a Brain Scan… 1. yes I have one (official) and 2. everything looks tickety-boo. :slight_smile:

It all started in December; I was a passenger in a mates car and I experienced a visual disturbance. It lasted less than 10 seconds and then back to normal. Weird, didn’t think much about it until two weeks later when I was out for a meal with friends, it happened again. Gulp…Googled when I got back home and one of the suggestions was a ā€œTIAā€ (i.e. mini-stroke).

If you remember, I lost a good mate in November to a second stroke and watching him die over a period of 6 months has given me a dread of going the same way. That experience has turned an optimist into a fuckin’ hypochondriac.

I waited a few weeks but the idea of a ā€œTIAā€ was driving me to distraction so I got a GP appointment. She reassured me and said my description didn’t sound like a ā€œTIAā€ but I should go for a thorough eye test; so I did. The eye test result was there was not a problem with the eyes, so back to the GP with the news.

She then asked if I’d like to be referred to a ā€œTIAā€ consultant, to which I agreed. It all happened very quickly the consultant also said my description didn’t sound like a Stroke but if I liked he would send me for a Brain Scan to confirm. That’s a weird experience in itself, a noisy 15 minute interlude where you’re told not to move a muscle or they’d have to do it again.

The feedback phone call came this morning, all very positive, no blockages, no furring of arteries, look in good shape. If I get a recurrence go to the eye hospital, maybe something to do with ā€œFloatersā€.

Amusing aside…the consultant’s name is Dr. Marigold…snappy name don’t you think.

Its when the doctor is wearing a marigold you need to be worried :rofl::rofl:

I have floaters.
I also have a very edge of vision flickering black & white pixel at night occassionally
They cane at sane time as crazy sinus pains.
Had the MRI and a Neurologist

The pixels were my own fault - smoking in wind, hot ash scarred retina. Floaters are dead cells they are there but if get bad it’s a laser job. Im fine without.

The Neurologist found 2 cysts in my brain which are very common and chill the sinus pain is rare condition with 50 quid meds brought on by black mould intolerance.

Like you message is go see doc as now 1st sign of mould reaction - running nose - we have an anally huge clean up and not had a problem since

This song annoys me though

I left a floater the other day if that helps :rofl:

No doubt at sea.
It still Floats On

I should hope so.

The diagnosis begins before you even enter the building. :+1::+1::smile:
