i can understand what your going through, i had really bad vertigo 18 months ago and had double vison, and eye probs etc, i had to wait for an mri they thought i had MS i was terrified and cried on a regular basis! the scan was normal, eye tests were normal which was a relief, the symptoms have gone but im prone to dizziness now and them and migranes, they think its either an ear prob or migranes, im still seeing the consultant, they found thyroid dysfunction that was all!!!

hopefully you will be ok too, let us know how u get on.

If u get any more headaches go to A and E tell them your story and demand a scan, they can do one quicker as an impatient xxx

Aww im soo sorry that you are unwell.  I cannot even begin to understand how you are feeling, although i do know that if you are diagnosed with a tumor you can carry on as nomoral as you can.  Personally i know two people who have been diagnosed with tumors.

The first was just 16 when she was diagnosed and she is now 24years old and leads an almost normal life.  She achieved her law degree last year and manages with strong painkillers when the headaches get too much for her.  She is currently doing her legal practice course and is counting on working as a solicitor.

The second is an old work colleague, she was in her late twenties and had to have an operation which was successful, she too leads a normal life.  Before the operation she had two lovely children, she has gone on to have a further two more who are just lovely too.  She has returned to her old job and again has to have painkillers on occassions. 

I know this isnt much help but i what im am trying to say is im sure you will be able to lead your life to the full whatever the outcome.  hth

have no idea what to say hunni, im sorry your so worried and going through this xx

Oh my goodness you poor thing, I think it is awful that you have to wait 2 weeks for an emergency scan.

I know it is easy for me to say but please ry not to worry. Until you know what it is there's no point getting yourself worked up. Focus on your lovely children and try and have fun with them, it may take your mind off things even for a little while.

Don't worry about the bf, your health is more important, but it may not even come to you having to give up.

I'll be thinking of you and please let us know how you get on. xx

I'm feeling so down and depressed and cant stop thinking about it. Those of you who have my on their facebook know what i'm talking about, SInce last friday my vision went really quick. I've gone from needing glasses for reading to my glasses being made extra strong and wearing them as soon as i am awake. And getting lots of pains in my head. I saw my dr on monday who sent me up the hospital, there i had loads of eye tests and the drops that make your pupils enlarge. When i saw the dr she said i needed an emegancy brain scan. We had been up the hospital from 11am to 6 and finally the dr said she could admit me or i could come back the next day (tuesday). We went back tuesday and all they said was that their emergancy scan list was a 2 wk wait so they were either gonna send an appiontment through or admit me till i had a slot. With jack being bf and not taking a bottle and emma at school we decide it would be better at home. I cant help thinking that i have a tumor or something. Everytime i get a pain it reminds me,My neck is hurting me now too. I have to go straight back in if i get any worse or any thing new happens. I'm just constantly on the edge of tears.

And to make matters worse i'm guessing that the drs are gonna be pumping me with drug when they find out whats wrong and i'm gonna have to stop bf, of course i'd rather be healthy but the thought of giving up is tearing me apart.
