I just slowed down for a few days prior to today's head scan. They took me off my PD meds prior to the test in hopes of avoiding any misreadings as for as my dopamine production. I was in bad shape without medication, it was very difficult for me to function. Today was called a DAT Scan. Long and drawn out but very cool. I never had anything in the nuclear meds department and the injection came in one of the cool steel syringes like in the movies. I was like "holy shit", are you gonna stick that thing in my fucking neck like 007? The nurse wasn't as amused as I was. On a separate note, have any of you eaten in a hospital cafeteria lately? It was better that some restaurant's I've eaten in! I told my wife we need to come back with the kids, full meal's for 2.99? Is there a place to plug my Cloud in? I was ready to stay!
The point of today's test is using this nuclear dye along with a dopimine antagonist they will be able to tell how bad my brain is as far as dopamine production. I guess this helps the doctor prescribe accordingly to try and counter my rather aggressive symptoms. One of the girls from my doctors office told me that I had enough THC in my system to leave resin in the vile that they kept my blood!
