tests and checkups

Good thread.

Marcia, mixed thoughts here, but I think you should not hesitate to ask for the imaging. At the same time, I want to encourage you by saying that I had neck and shoulder pain on the affected side that was bad enough that also caused constant vertigo. So... naturally I was worried about the brain. My PCP agreed to MRI of the brain, which turned out to be fine. A physical therapist who specialized in vertigo taught me a few exercises and although periodically I get the neck and shoulder aches I just do the exercises, and I never get the vertigo and the neck and shoulder aches do go away again.

Thinking of you all, hoping exams and tests go well,
