Hi hun, so glad ur feeling better now...u had me worried My son as been ill with a lung infection, kidney infection and tonsilitis so ive only been able to pop on and off, also was feeling really down a few weeks back and thought it would be best if i stay off here as i did feel i would be much use to anyone. Totally freaking out about 2morrow. I think its more a case of if they want to inject me(side effects) then anything else. Its at 8 am so i wont have to much time to panic,lol. How have you been? xx

Did they say they might need to inject you?

I thought that was only with CT scans and not MRI's.

ji nicola, no they never but i though they might want to. What do u think? xx

I've had both a CT and MRI scan and was only injected for the CT scan. Am sure you'll be just fine!

Thanks guys, anxmum how was ur results? I remember u had some of the same problems i was having? xx

I am sure they don't inject for an MRI - just the CT scan.

Hi Carli,

I had a ct and MRI and injection for both, It was fine, its a warm sensation but that is all and you will be fine = i'm sure x
