Hey everyone!

Sorry so long no response.
My mri is now on the 14th of August, so it's been put forward a month. Can't say I'm not relieved by this, but I would like to get it out of the way.

I was suffering chest pains and a numb left arm (scary symptoms!) and had to go to hospital the night before, so they didn't want to give me sedation until my chest problems had been investigated. And they didn't want to mri me without sedation (my claustrophobia is pretty extreme).

Everything is all fine now and I am mri ready-I really want to find out what is the cause of my problems. I spoke to a woman from the epilepsy foundation and my neurologist and I am feeling much more calm about everything. I have my cd and wireless bra so i'll be comfy!

I've also started medication and it's helping with my anxiety a lot. So, lets see how we go second time round. Good to here the sedation helped you Debee, after starting my meds and feeling their sedative qualities (hoping this wears off) I can see how it will help.

While I was terrified last time, I would have liked to have had this out of the way by now...but, everything happens for a reason, and in a way it's made me more determined to have this mri so it's kind of a good thing!

I had the EEG, it was normal, but my neuro wasn't surprised and said 50% of tle cases don't show up. I'm now doing an all day EEG, I would like a result so we will have to wait and hope. (Funny thing to hope for!)

Thanks so much for your support, I almost feel like I let you guys down for not having the mri yet!

You can be happy that I am feeling much more positive about things and I am determined to be the one in control of my epilepsy, not the other way round. So no mri is gonna scare me! (well, it will a little )

Love to you all,
