Hi Kathkat,

When I had my MRI for a brain injury, my neurologist point out 6 tiny shadows he called hemorrhages. I just trusted him and went on from there. I had no interest in trying to learn how exactly to read an MRI - seemed a bit unnecessarily complicated. However, when I was prescribed medications, I did a lot of research on the internet. Now I'm a bit skeptical analyzing the vast amounts of data. My main reason is that the ones who shout the loudest about this or that side-effect, are usually the tiniest percentage, and not the norm.

I went a bit off topic there, but my point is to find a good Doctor and trust them.
