I'm getting myself in a terrible state.

I am waking up out of a sleep trembling inside and my eyes feel funny. I am convinced it is a seizure.

I am scared of a brain tumour. I had a brain MRI last week and was told it was normal but I'm scared they have missed something because they didn't use the contrast due.

Please help me x

They wouldn't miss a brain tumour. How on earth do you even know about contrast dye? I had an MRI and couldn't tell you what the details were. Not my problem.

Doesn't sound anything like a seizure, either.

Speaking from my own history of worrying about BT.

The contract dye is only used to show more detail of a tumour that they have already found with a normal MRI.

In my case, they used the dye when they thought they saw something (but weren't sure if it was anything) - and it was nothing. In other words, if they had *any* vague interest in your scan, they would send for a re-scan with dye. I.e they haven't missed a tumor.
