Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Agree - CT as an emergency to look for big bleeds or tumours, otherwise MRI all the way

I know nothing about CAT scans/MRIs really, I only mentioned it as I had 2 CAT scans recently with no waiting when I didn't even think I really needed them as I was sure I was ok, which is why I felt frustrated for Curly that she hasn't had anything. But Sunday isn't too far away now Curls :)

Feeling particularly rough tonight.

Burning in one arm, sore legs with some lovely twitches, numb face and the buzzing ears and still chucking stuff around and struggling with keys and locks.

Did manage to buy a frock for wearing on Sat night to my run club Xmas do, cant drink as it makes my face burning even worse, but hopefully I will be able to manage some dancing. Will take flats as I'm not sure heels are going to be doable or safe at the moment!

New fun with morning with sore soles of feet, cant stand well for long periods... That's going to be fun at work tonight (5 hours standing up!). Only 2 more days to get through and then its a three day weekend. Most f which wont be spent on sofa sadly.

Any tips for the mri on Sunday as I'm quite claustrophobic!

Ask if you can have some music on during the scan, anything to take your mind off it. Have you ever done any relaxation techniques?

I do hope they get you sorted soon. It must be very frustrating and worrying.
