MRI question for the board

[tumorboy]

Have had hundreds or so MRIs dealing with my condition. Had a 2 hr MRI on Wednesday. Came out with vertigo. It’s currently now Friday. Still having the same issues. See Neurosurgery on Wednesday for follow up. Should I be contacting them yet. This seems abnormal to me. Usually vertigo goes away from mri in an hour or so.

Vertigo sucks ass. If you can't stand looking at your phone have someone google it but there is simple stretches and poses you can do lying on your bed that can bring your equilibrium back.

Yeah I usually fall asleep as well. So used to it. But this weird. Perhaps a reaction to the contrast dye or magnetic waves. But it’s always gone away in a short time period. This is 48 hrs after. And appears a tad worse.

Well, I lack balance nerves in my head anyway. So I’m always a bit off.

Yeah already called.

A physical therapist gave me some things to do when I experience vertigo:
Hold your forefingers about a foot and a half apart, one on each side of your head. Look at them, moving your eyes while holding your head still. Then do the same by moving on finger up and the other down. Then reverse.
Hold one finger in front of your face. Move your head back and forth while keeping eyes on finger. Then move head up and down.
Hopefully that will help.
But first you should call the doctor.

Had a number of them but never experienced that

Probably messed with the salty fluid in the canals of the labyrinth.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I feel like you've been dealt more than enough crap to deal with. Hopefully it goes away soon, good sir!

This is more annoying and fatiguing than anything. Unlike @bagdropper at least I still take a good shit.

I appreciate light hearted, self deprecating humor.
