My MRI journey
Hi guys! As some of you might already know, I’m in the US now to continue my check up. So much have been said about my condition since I tweeted that I was experiencing leg and back pain for 5 days and couldn’t have an MRI in Manila because of the covid cases in hospitals.
I also heard recently that I’ve had Covid. It’s not true.
Last year, I started having problems with the nerves on my legs and some lower back pains. My Dr in Manila advised me to have an MRI but unfortunately, since it was my first time to do this procedure, I had no idea I would cry and back out due to claustrophobia. So, after a year, my back and leg started giving me problems again and since our hospitals are filled with COVID patients, I didn’t want to risk having my tests back home. My partner, Conrad decided to take me to see his brother, Dr Art Onglao in California and he found a specialist for me. I also needed check up with my Obgyn and luckily, my nerve specialist is married to an Obgyn! What were the chances?!
Since we arrived, I have been busy with all my much needed consultation and tests.
Today, I had my last test- ironically the MRI I most dread. What a finale, Huh? I’m happy though that Art found a machine for me that is so much less threatening than a regular MRI. And I’ve conditioned myself well enough to be braver and to keep smiling.
Let’s continue to take care of our health. Tomorrow, I will see my nerve specialist so he can give me his diagnosis. I know that everything will be ok. I just thought of sharing so you wouldn’t get fake news. Thanks for joining me. Take care now! Up now on my YouTube channel. Click link in my bio to view
