Swelling on Right side of face and eye

If you are worried enough to post on here to ask, Snaggler, I think you probably do need the reassurance of a doctor's opinion. It may be nothing - but none of us can say as we're not doctors and can't see you anyway. Even doctors shouldn't make a dx over the phone - though they do!

Doctors are not GOD although I am sure some think they are. LOL! Either way if it gets any worse as the Day progresses I will be spending the new year eve in the hospital. :shock:

hi snaggler i dont normally comment having less experiance than others however i feel i must go along with eileen on this one when in doubt consult the doctors good luck carol k

Snaggler; how are you.? Nothing for two days. This worries us. Do let us know.

Thank you for your concern. I am not great but I am now gong in for a cat scan this coming Thursday. My husband will be driving me to the hospital as I cannot drive for more then a few minutes due to pain here and there. My spleen is swollen and my face is visibly swollen on the right side. Now it feels like a humming bird is inside my head. Odd sensation. I am so glad I quit work, being in this shape and working would of been deadly. I hope to have more answers as to why I am having so many issues. I am sure the CLL is playing a key role in this. :shock:

Hello Snaggler

So sorry to hear you are still suffering and do hope that the scan shows up something that can be successfully treated so that you can at least get rid of that problem. All the very best for Thursday and do keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

my thoughts are with you for thursday sending you lots of positive vibes and fingers and toes crossed carol

Good to hear from you even if it isn't wonderful news. Fingers crossed for Thursday and all the best. Do let us know how you are.

I had the CT scan on Thursday and it is now Monday but still no results back in. Hoping to get some answers soon.

Hi Snaggler,

I've not posted to this thread until now, but thanks for keeping us up to date. We hope the results will be nothing terrible but they'll find the cause.

The forum has gone under 'major surgery' it seems – or redesigned as they call it. It was IMPOSSIBLE to read! All the replies were in columns below and to the right of the original post so no one could read them. Looks like that part is finally fixed. Whew!!

But... each and every time anyone wants to post, we're required to sign in again! The software doesn't not remember us. I had to reset my password (even though it was correct) and come up with a new one.

The question I have is, "why do they always think newer is better?!" Not so. Forums are like tools where we share information and experiences. If I need a screw driver don't try to give me a pair of pliers.

All the best. Hope the results are goo

LOL! Rick I agree about if something is not broken do not fix it. The new forums look very pretty but they do not seem to be working to the expectations of the last one. I hate signing in over and over also.

Snaggler

Think it was yesterday you went for scan, hopefully everything was OK. Please let us know how you got on.

HI Snaggler,

I read in another thread where you got the results from your CT scan and they didn't find anything. Must be a relief of sorts but also frustrating in not knowing the cause. Hopefully you the pain will subside soon.

Hi Carol

Yes, we've all been feeling a bit lost but I think we all need a gold star for getting here at all - where there's a will there's a way, as they say!
