How many members have had an MRI that turned out OK?

[Trixie]

My first one was to see the cause of my tinnitus they couldn't find the reason for it but found a brain tumour.

The second one I had on the 3rd of June was to see if it had grown.

No just me.

I can't vote on this one because I've never had an MRI, but I just wanted to say I think it's a great thread, Trixie. The results speak for themselves .

I've had two. One was for what turned out to be Effexor withdrawal side effects (ye gods, I do not miss that medication), another basically from a jerk neurologist who basically threw tests at me instead of listening to what I had to say. The second one showed "potential" problems, but nothing conclusive because somehow my first MRI results have gone missing and there's nothing to compare them to. Doctor said it's probably nothing, so...I'll go with that. Apparently my current problems are just migraines, though they're pretty much painless. (Don't envy me that, though, they're really freaking horrible, I actually miss the ones that were just simple blinding pain!)

That is more or less why I started it. An MRI is very expensive both private ones and ones paid for by the NHS so why waste money just for the sake of it?

I had an MRI in May. I suffered slight dizziness and felt I walked off balance. I was convinced I had m.s, but brain scan came back normal. I too get achey muscles and what I presume are anxiety symptoms. I still have these symptoms, but I get the clinical letter out to reassure me. But I also have a clear brain scan. I have had long term anxiety for years and have been diagnosed as a hypochondriac and suffer from Undifferentiated Somatoform disorder(if interested check this out in a previous thread of mine).

it's several years ago now but i had the MRI and whats the one where they stick all those little electrodes to your scalp and then ask you questions. Everything came back normal.

Had umpteen MRI scans of my bile duct/pancreas and also had something called an MRE, where they pump liquid into your small bowel whilst you're in the MRI chamber. Thats fun for an anxiety sufferer I can tell you.

My last set of MRIs were all "satisfactory".

I've also had several CAT scans and ultrasounds. The ultrasounds found my gallstones in the first place, then later gave me an all clear.

All top fun.
