: PET scanning is available on a limited basis in several large US cities, and it remains a very expensive procedure.  It is usually used to evaluate metastatic cancers, and does show promise in confirming Alzheimer's dementias.  It would not customarily be used for MS, or most acute or inflammatory conditions.

: Start with your primary doc, who can investigate who in your region is available and where. This site features volunteer docs who answer questions about health conditions.

Accepted Answer

Not on this forum: This forum is for basic advice on medical symptoms only.  We do not have information about insurance options or local providers/hospitals. It would probably be best to ask your primary care Dr if you have one, or friends who have had babies recently- they can surely advise you about local options with good reputations

Hospital tour: Birthing experiences vary widely to each person, facility and family.  Schedule tours with the birthing center where the delivery may occur, and discuss the different birthing plan options available.  You will likely be surprised at how much information you will gather and it will make the entire experience less stressful.

Rapid: Evaluation, imaging, and appropriate treatment with intravenous blood thinner or intraarterial blood thinners or devices.

Question 8

i have to go to hospital for ivig drip' can you tell me what to expect?

Accepted Answer

Patience: Ivig have to be given monthly and have to be given slowly to monitor for side effects, such as headaches, fever, chills, itching, etc. They may need to give you medicine before you receive them. See if there is an option to receive them subcutanesouly at home weekly with a visiting nurse. It is more convenient and has less side effects.

Hospital stay: At least 5-7 days.

Question 10

i was told by the hospital i have a teratoma on my ovary. what can i expect now?

Accepted Answer

Surgery is next.: Teratomas of the ovary are special type of tumors that may have skin type tissue inside them, fat, hair, even teeth. Most of the time they are benign, but there are rare instances in which they are malignant. They should be surgically removed ( usually removal of just one ovary is done in someone your age). Next step is an appointment with a gyn surgeon to schedule your surgery.
