    @gaz1960 Eeesh that sounds frustrating, I'm sorry. How did you find the MRI scan itself?
    The scan itself was no problem, i fell asleep while it was happening, took ages to do both scans. Lol. ;)

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been in hospital for a week or so @Sparklebright63. Have you been coping okay?

    Although I'm sure a new diagnosis must be difficult to deal with, do you feel better for knowing what's been causing the numbness? 

    It sounds as though there are quite a few treatment options available to you, which is good :) Are you feeling positive about your appointment with the neurologist on the 18th?

    Hi Tori Scope,

    I am hopefully going to get some answers on the 18th i have another MRI on the 7th of August in Sheffield so will see what they Say after that one.
    What i dont understand is why its taken the Nhs so long to try to find out where all my problems are comming from and what else i need to do about them.
    I have had all these issues for 25 years thats like a quater of my life to be in so much Pain ect its not good enough......
    I will let you know when i have more answers.
    I have to go to the Respiratory Clinic in the Morning.

    Sorry to hear that @gaz1960 - & it seems like a dreadfully long wait to get results. The neurosurgeon surely could look at your MRI scans & discuss them with you quicker than this, or write.
    My son & I have yearly echocardiograms (which was delayed because of the pandemic). Normally we see the Consultant cardiologist the same day, but had been told beforehand that he would check them, & we'd either have a phone appointment or he would write to us. We both got a letter a couple of weeks later.
