I have been referred for brain and spine MRI - not too worried about outcome as CT of brain was clear. I failed several of the neurology tests - I tried to say I should have passed but apparently I failed badly DH watched and said I was terrible at them but he said I have always been terrible and its not new so hopefully just picking up something I have always had. Never been able to tell left from right or flip shapes. Though balance was fine until 2 years ago. I failed the one were you close eyes immediately twice by going backwards, walking in straight line one failed three times, right side and eyesight to right they said was noticeably weaker - can't say ever noticed this, test turn hand over quickly I failed three times.
Anyone been through tests for this and did they find anything? CT scan of brain clear which rules out big tumours and symptoms come and go so think a tumour / cancer very unlikely. I lose ability to speak or write sometimes, get words muddled, forgot things, get confused, incredibly dizzy at times, room spins occasionally. I am mid 40s so could just be my age. Going on about 2 years now, started with very sudden bladder incontinence - thought infection but tested negative. Other symptoms too but come and go. Private doctor thought MS likely, one at A&E Lyme, another psychological. Blood tests coming back mainly normal - had anaemia once, regular urine infections, one pelvic infection, one ovarian cyst, fibroids now removed, enlarged adrenal gland, cancer tests (due to odd bleeding) all negative.
Also am scared of MRI as I am claustrophobic - I said no to brain one before but should really do this. At least having clear CT means its less worrying. Anyone had one? Are you totally shut in? Can you close eyes if brain one? Thanks. Husband will come with me and guess its only 30 minutes.
