So I'm going in for my first MRI (ever) in a week, and I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the Canadian healthcare system regarding this. Mostly, I'm wondering how long it'll be from the date of the MRI for my neurologist to call me in to discuss the results. Will it be same day? ...

thank's all for the replies. I'm feeling better mentally this morning, and I'm just about to head to the doctors so I'll keep you updated!

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm spamming the board but I am FREAKING OUT. A few days ago I noticed a vibrating feeling in my right foot (like a tuning fork) when I bent my neck forward. When I woke up this morning the feeling was all the way up to my knee, and now it's all the way to the small of my ...

So in the past five months I've had both Optic neuritis and 6th nerve palsy (both in my left eye) and I have an MRI scheduled.

It's looking ...

Hi all. My name's Randi, and I've yet to be DX (have an MRI scheduled for May), but I presented with optic neuritis in my left eye in November- my vision still hasn't returned but the pain is gone. A few days ago I developed double vision but only when I look to my left, and I noticed this evening t...

I've gotten blood tests to r...

Hi everyone :) My name is Randi; I'm 20, and I'm preparing myself for a clinical diagnosis sometime within the next few months. I recently lost vision in my left eye (and by 'lost' I mean it seemed like i was looking through fogged up glass, through one eye) and following a game of hot-potato with d...
