This morning I will be having an MRI of my head. For the last 5 weeks or so I have been having seemingly random light-headed spells. They hit at random times, last for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour or more and nothing seems to help them go away faster (food, laying down, water, etc.). They don't worry me so much as annoy the crud outta me. I haven't been able to work out for weeks because of these darn "spells" and I'm tired of it.
A week ago I finally went to the doctor about it, as these "spells" were no longer hitting just a couple of times a week, but were now up to several times a day. The doctor ran several blood tests on me (CBC, glucose, thyroid and for anemia) but they all came back clean. Her next suggestion was to have an MRI done on my head and meet with a neurologist.
While the MRI is this morning I won't actually find anything out (I assume) until I meet with the neurologist on Monday afternoon. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I want to know what's causing these and I want it to not be serious. I'll keep you all up to date.
Now, I don't want to end your week on a total downer of a post, so how about we turn this around with some adorable pictures and some exciting news?

I'll be hoping that your scan goes well :)
Hoping your MRI goes well and they can give you some answers next week!
I hope it all goes well and is just a fluke - nothing serious.
Praying that it is nothing too serious!
Good luck with your MRI.
Thanks for hosting the canned food drive!
I hope you get easily remedied answers to what's causing it and no more tests.
Good luck today. I'll be thinking about you!
What a fun mommy to have a bounce house in the house! Woohoo!
I hope all goes well today and they have a diagnosis on Monday (nothing serious). I need a work out buddy.
I've been praying for you!! I hope an answer is found ... and soon!!
I'll be praying your scan goes well! I HATE having MRI's so I pray you get through the actual test ok too without getting clausterphobic or anything. I'm sure your dr checked, but just to be sure, um... you HAVE taken a pregancy test, I assume? :)

ps- I love that you have the bounce house set up in your living room!
Helen-
You are in my prayers - hope the MRI went well and that you get some answers and relief from the light-headedness soon. I trust in a wonderful God who is taking good care of you!

I had spells like that once, turned out to be an inner ear problem. But I'm praying for you.
