    Lets hope they find something really bad, that needs dealing with immediately It wont be life threatening, but bad enough I wont have to wait a very long to get sorted.
    Or you could grow some balls and... give up smoking



    zero sympathy from me for any health that "IS" smoking related, I sooner see the health effort and money go to child cancer rather than weaklings that do it to them selves (ohhh fark Im so out a here.............................................. ...

    i have had 10 of them, all over a 6 week period, all with (contrast the die you drink)

    (they sent me down for no 11 but the radiographer reckons i was going to start glowing soon)

    as put above they are not to bad, i think much easier than a MRI where you go into a big tube, they are pretty easy going,

    I dont smoke. Have not smoked for 18 months or more. I have suffered with sinus for a very long time. The doctors used to say it was because I smoked. Now they are silent, as it is ten times worse since I stopped smoking.

    Some Doctors just don't appreciate non-conformists... You were supposed to get better after quitting, you're just not playing the game!

    Have you done the whole sinus/nasal rinse thing?

    No, I have held off doing that, pity it is not summer, I would simply get in the tide and blow my brains out in the surf.

    There mere thought of pouring water up my nose leaves me cold, and knowing my luck I would end up inhaling the stuff.

    Mom, You shoulda asked nursey Jen about it. She knows most of that stuff, from both sides...then you'd have known there was nothing to worry about. As for the dye stuff, I had it and didn't notice anything.....more shit myself when I went for the MRI, coz I've had a fair bit of metal bits stuck in me (including the eyes) over the years...

    I have never been so sick as I have been since I stopped smoking. Blood pressure through the roof, chronic sinus, stomach ulcer, shortness of breath (had a lung function test and passed that with flying colours), allergic reactions to drugs supposed to make me better Have had 3 lots of antibiotics since March, my BP is causing so much concern I am booked to have a 24/7 telemetry monitor so see what percentage of the day I am in danger mode. As I am allergic to most BP medications it they want to be certain I really need to take something else.

    Because I am so special I get to be tested before they prescribe, which is kind of nice.

    ATM just totally over not sleeping at night for the coughing, the feeling of being totally choked all the time, the headaches, the blocked ears (deafness) and the totally delightful gagging that accompanies the cough, very attractive I must say

    I didn't scroll to the end, so I guess you've had one now. I had one years ago on my brain. Piece of wees; the only worry was that afterwards they said, "Uh... we've examined the scan of your head, and we didn't find anything."

    So which one of youse bastids has stolen my brain?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Yeah, mine showed the left front quarter was missing, instead of brain there's an arachnoid cyst there.

    Man, if'n I's this intelligent with only 3/4 of my brain, what would be the potential if'n I had a full one...
