doctors appointment



So tomorrow is my doctors appointment after i got my 2 MRI's today. I've been lethargic and depressed but realizing my depression is due to my lethargy. its a vicious cycle. I do not claim I don't have depression but I don't want to just give up on figuring out what my triggers are.

anyways i got to look at my mri's and i don't see any srynx's in my spine but I'm not a doctor or mri tech.
