CT scan

**peachyhugsgina** · 03-03-2010, 11:08 AM

Today, I had my CT scan with and without contrast. The tech gave me a disc of my CT scan, and it appears that I have small little dots all around my lungs. I don't have the results, just the disc, and, of course, I have no earthly idea what I am looking at, other than I do recognize lungs, stomach, intestines, ribs, and etc.. I will keep you posted on what I find out on Friday when my rheumatologist gets the report from the radiologist. I also am going to call her office and bug them about my referral to the Weg's specialist at UAB.
Thanks for all your replies, and help. I will keep plugging until I get some answers to my symptoms and blood tests results.
Take care
Peachy hugs,

Gina, without seeing the CT it's impossible to know what the dots are, but I thought I'd share that it can represent normal lung tissue. If you look at a blood vessel on end (like looking into a tube) it would look like a dot. I'm not saying that's what it is, but it's one possibility.

If it were blood clots, the CT tech would have kept you and called your doc to come over immediately. That little scenario happened to me.

Gina, hang in there...Friday is coming soon. Hope things turn out good for you soon. Glad you are being persistent.

I didnt see the rheumy on Friday, but my asthma doctor did call to tell me that the CT scan was normal.. so that was great news. I didn't see the rheumy on Friday as I have another upper respiratory infection and am again on antibiotics, so couldn't get the methotrexate this week or next week, have to be off antibiotics, and afebrile for a week.
Take care
