    Good comment, GJ! Its always nice to see comments from people who are actually in the medical field. I have found that the techs often know as much about their specific area as the doctors do. I normally try to verify comments on the forum, so I looked up microvascular disease and you are spot on -- its basically and old age issue. I hate to admit that I'm getting old. When I was 40 or even 50, "old age" seemed so far off, but somehow it has caught up to me.

    Thank you greenjeep for politely telling me I am getting old !!!! I am 60 1/2 !! My rheumy looked at the disc and said she sees that a lot and she doesn't think it is wg related and the mass is from a infarctic stroke I had about 6 years ago. I never knew I had a mass from it though ?? But she was going to have her people look at it so I quess all is well since I haven't heard back. Your job would be interesting to do..and yea they gave me a shot.

    only as old as you act... right. I tell some people I work with that I'm older than they are (even though they were born before me) cause this disease has taken years off my life.
    a stroke leaves behind an area of damaged tissue like a scar. it will be there forever. they just call it a mass because it is a generic term.
    since they have you a shot, you can bet that this mass is not trouble or it would have lit up and they would have spent a paragraph describing it!
    so rejoice! it's good news!

    I'm rejoicing !!! Thinks for the info. I always try to get info from the techs but they never will say anything, I understand that you can't
