Hi everyone, I'm a 20 year old female and I just got my MRI results back and they are "normal." That's all the nurse told me: "normal."
You all can go to my profile and read about all the symptoms I've been having for months that convinced me I had a brain tumor or MS or something terribly wrong in my brain-- numbness on one side, fatigue, weakness in limbs, eye floaters, blurry vision, headaches, feeling more clumsy than usual, pins and needles, different sized pupils, constant nausea for days at a time, weight loss-- you name it, I had it.
Doctors all told me it was probably anxiety, but I didn't buy it because how could all these very real and scary physical symptoms be anxiety? I'm honestly still having trouble believing it's anxiety. A couple months ago I was laying in bed watching TV and all of a sudden I have muscle twitches all over my body, increased heart rate, couldn't breathe. I went to sleep and the next day I still felt "off." Cue months of horrible symptoms, Googling, self-diagnosing, lots of doctors visits, and crying. A doctor finally referred me to a neurologist, she ordered an MRI (which terrified me...why does she think I need an MRI?!).
The MRI itself was terrifying to me, mostly because I was thinking about the results.
Anyways, I just wanted to give you all reassurance that you can have crazy and very real physical symptoms that Google tells you has to be a tumor (or any number of incurable ailments) and the MRI comes back clean. Now, off to find a therapist!
