But the neurologist suspected that I might have an aneurysm and immediately ordered an MRI and MRA with and without contrast. This Friday I got the results back, and fortunately they ruled out this serious cause.

A friend told me this morning that doctors have established 150 causes of headaches. Only 145 to check out now!

Meanwhile, my headaches are getting much shorter and less severe than they were four months ago. In fact, since I learned two days ago that I don't have an aneurysm, I have felt great. Maybe that's because the report lifted all that worry from my head.

I don't worry about my feet either. I know that I can continue to maintain tight control over my diabetes and expect to reverse my peripheral neuropathy in a few years. Watch for a positive follow-up report here in 2012.
