I don’t have a brain aneurysm! 
I was scared. Who knows what is going on with my my weird oO pupils but my MRI was OK. Next year, I am going to Baltimore to see THE expert on EDS just to get the once over. I am having difficulty with fatigue (and thinking haha) from the postural tachycardia. Very frustrating. I feel stupid and contagious.
“Here we are now. Entertain us.” Glad it wasn’t a brain aneurysm.
Oh, and I went to the Patrick Jones launch reading — there was a protest outside, but what peeved me most was being kept out in the freezing cold with the ranty C.V. dude while security swept the building inside for bombs. Not fun.
I am SO glad to hear that you don’t have a brain aneurysm! Keep on….
I’m also glad you don’t have a brain anuerysm. That would just suck, sorta like William Logan’s reviews.
Glad your brain is okay. That sounds scary!
No brain aneurysm is definately good news. Hope the coming year continues to bring nothing but good news your way!
Joining the others here, so glad about the news that there’s no brain aneurysm. Yeah, even thinking about that is scary.
Do be well, Jilly.
Glad the MRI went well. Just had one of those myself. “Aw, I’m not sick but I’m not well…”
Big hugs and thinking happy thoughts for you, Jilly…
Thanks everyone. I was scared LOL.
