I've posted a few times here and some of you might know that I have brain tumor fears. After two years of constant head pains, 2 clear ct scans and 2 weeks of new symptoms (tingling in left arm and foot, ear pain and a new type of headache, throbbing pain on the top of my head), I finally decided to do the MRI I've always been scared of. I realized I don't even care anymore. I honestly think that I do have brain tumor, based on the symptoms and if that's the case then I need to know the truth and not run away from it. Thanks to everybody who's ever made me feel better through their words. Even though I feel I have the stupid tumor, I sincerely hope the results will prove me wrong.

Glad you have gone and will have some closure on the fears. I think 2 clear CT scans prior is definitely reassuring. Hope they get the results back to you very soon so you don't have to wait too long!

I got the results.
I DO NOT HAVE BRAIN TUMOR.
I am so, so happy:D They asked me if I've ever done a neck scan and since I haven't, I did it and I have some kind of spondylosis, I don't remember the name but it means my neck is too straight and it's supposed to have this curve. I mean, it's not life threatening and I just can't explain in words how happy I am!

I remember you really worrying about this over 6 months ago. I just wanted to copy something from last October.

"I did a ct scan though, it was clear. My doctor says the pain comes from my neck problems and tried to assure me that I'd be dead by now if I actually had a tumor but my high anxiety just doesn't let me believe him :/"

So now do you believe him? Congrats on the all clear.... :)

Ah, I guess I do believe him now. It's weird because he could notice that even on the small part of my neck that was scanned on the CT when I did it for my head. Great doctor.:yahoo:
Anyway, thank you people, thank you so much! I feel reborn. I can finally live my life now. Ugh and when I think how sure and convinced I was that I was going to die and how it's not fair, I'm only 19.... I promise myself I won't be like that anymore.
