littlebird Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Just coming from the angle that sometimes MH problems are mistaken for something thats actually physiologically wrong with the the body/brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily-Bee Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 That can be so yes. I have never had any such scan or anything though. Are you thinking your problem might be more biological,something in the brain that they can see and maybe fix? Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 i saw a neurologist in about 96 cos i was losing words and gettin words wrong, dissociating, losing time, as well as high pulse and panic stuff, hands constantly shaking... was a part of a series of tests i had for such stuff - thyroid, liver, blood sugar, other blood stuff they couldnt find owt wrong physically so gave me propanolol... never even suggested mh stuff at that time... even tho i already had a colourful psych history dating from 91... hummmm never really thought bout that connection before... but considering all the tests they did put me through - maybe you have an angle there with the physical stuff... worth an ask i guess...

Narcissa Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I've had a scan. What are they called ekg? That was about 10 years ago. But as far as i remember it came back normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebird Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 you think they would go down the whole blood test/brain scan first with everyone wouldn't you just to rule they can rul eit out. I think i'm just in a searching/looking for an answer mode today - either that or being a hypochondriac!! I guess just don't feel 'right' atm not like my old self at all - keep getting this ringing noise in my brain too mainly at night when i'm trying to get to sleep but it was really loud last night and hasn't stopped all day today.

notawallflower Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yes, two years ago they thought I had a tumor behind the eye, turned out to be an eye condition called Drusen's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth_strikes_again Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I've had EEG's and MRI's... well i've had pretty much every test but those were the neuro ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I had an EEG when I was 17, it was normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachary Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I had an MRI when I was 15 - there was a lot of debate on the scan, they couldn't agree to what it was (although in the end it turned out to be 'normal'). I had another at 20 after suffering a very bad migraine, palpitations, tremoring, etc, and that turned out 'normal' too. They make me feel like a dramaqueen! It would have been nice to have had things explained to me, i.e., why they thought I needed one and why I had such horrid symptoms the second time they took me in hospital for a scan. Maybe I am just a dramaqueen. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a hypochondriac too, i've had pretty much every test the NHS could do! If you want one done, then you should at least mention it to the doctor and see what they say. MRIs can be scary, they're very loud and sometimes you have to have an injection (which is ok if you're not absolutely terrified of needles like me lol) and i also found it a bit embarrassing as you have to take your bra off :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elke Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 MRI´s are horrible. No way to get out on your own, except they give you a button you can press if you have a panic attack. I had an EKG done once because they suspected Jackson Epilepsy - the result showed I was extremeley nervous and very tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
