Should I be retested by MRI?

[fairyloveheart]

Hi There
Have posted lots fof threads about my self diagnosed brain tumour/sinus tumour etc. I have had a ct scan of my brain and 2 of my sinuses.

I am still v worried I have a head tumour of some kind.

I am still having the facial pain symptoms, face ache/frontal headaches and now episodes of light headedness. Have had a few visual problems, just flashing lights in one eye.

The GP has referred me to the pain clinic but I am convinced there is a tumour there. This fear is further fuelled by me reading on lots of websites that:
Generally CT is preferred where bone details are of paramount importance (long bones, spine, skull), whilst MRI produces much better soft tissue details (brain, spinal cord etc)
CT scans are useful for examining body cavities (thorax, abdomen, pelvis) for calcium deposits, cysts, and abscesses.


So what should I do.....I could demand an nhs referral but am not sure that would work, so maybe I could pay...
