    Long Covid and brain scans

    An article that focuses on brain changes in Long Covid. Refers to several studies. It's a nice combination of personal case studies and discussion of research. https://www.statnews.com/2023/02/16/the-haunting-brain-science-of-long-covid/ I'm too exhausted to really add more. If it's...

    Recently had my first MRI (awaiting results question)

    Right before Christmas I had my first MRI of the brain. The nurse said that the results would be available around a week later. Five days after the MRI I got a letter from my doctor with a time for a new appointment to their office two weeks later. Usually your results should be available...

    My MRI images for CCI/AAI/Chiari/tethered cord

    I just had my upright MRI completed and I was wondering if anyone could offer some insights :) I have numbness and weakness all over, but it is worse on the R side (along with fatigue, insomnia, GI issues, and PEM). I have not been evaluated for Ehler-danlos, but I do have noted hypermobility...

    My MRI imaging for CCI evaluation

    Okay, so I've got the full set of flexion, extension and neutral MRIs. It would be really cool if @jeff_w, @JenB and @Hip could give their opinion. :) From my amateurish analysis, a lot of the measurements seem borderline or pathological: CXA in neutral is around 139 degrees, which is...

    Finding a Facility for CCI Imaging

    Hi! Has anyone ever compiled a resource of imaging facilities that have a 3T machine and could perform the upright MRI to determine if a patient has CCI? Or does anyone know of any/how I could go about finding one? Dr. Chheda is considering writing the MRI order for me, but let me know that I'd...
