Big scare for the day, you're welcome

http://www.psychlaws.org/generalResources/brainscan.htm

Most people have probably already seen these things. I wonder about
it, I have never had a scan on my brain. I would like to. I wonder
about my alertness problems, etc.

I feel like a sensationalist tv newswriter.

You probably have big holes in your brain. More at eleven. Have a
great day.

Yup, I read about the enlarging ventricles years ago.

I used to strike me as odd that nobody ever did a neurological work-up on
me. These days I have such a low opinion of the state-of-the-art that I can
see why the majority of such tests would be pointless. However, some tiny
percentage might have something obvious, like a tumor. *If you don't check,
you don't know.*

At least brains work pretty good anyway. Your computer wouldn't
function at all with big holes in it.

LOL

There some folks that function normally with huge missing sections of brain.
However, the brains were missing from very very early childhood. Losing
brains at an older age is destructive.

Some days I feel like there must be room in there for a couple of
boiled eggs to fit. Ah, such casual conversation about such a serious
subject.

Sorry if I seemed insensitive about it. I guess I adjusted to the idea so
many years ago that I wasn't thinking about how someone newly discovering
this would feel.

If it helps at all, there is not a section missing in the area of the
ventricles. I believe there is a distributed loss of cells in the entire
brain, which causes the ventricles to be larger.

No, that was fine. I found out about it a long time ago too. I wasn't
implying you were being insensitive. You're fine.

I am skeptical of those studies. I had an MRI when I was first
diagnosed and it was normal.


I also heard on a tv show that they don't know whether it's the illness
or the medication causing those enlarged ventricles.

Yes, you are right, they don't know exactly what causes it or what
comes first, from what I understand, it's just that they notice it
happens more with sz. That's why they can't use it as a diagnostic
test.

It's just scary to look at though...
