DD (15) has been having pretty severe migraines over the past year or so. Last week we had an appointment with a neurology consultant at the children's hospital she seemed satisfied that DD was on the correct course of treatment now (with a minor tweak) and gave a formal diagnosis of severe migraine with aura and also tension headaches.
Today I got a phone call at work from the consultant we saw last week to say she had been discussing DDs case with a more senior colleague and they wanted to bring her in soon for an MRI as there was 'something in her auras that they are concerned about'
Was actually feeling really reassured after her appointment but now feeling really worried. Googling to try and find out which of her symptoms might be causing concern. Obviously now I've totally scared myself too.
The rational part of me is trying to be sensible and that it's better for everything to be checked thoroughly. The other part of me is panicked.
Realise there's nothing I can actually do, but just feeling really worried now

Oops posted too soon.
I have been looking into the exam thing. We are in Scotland and DD is sitting Nat 5s and it seems unless you actually miss an exam on the day through illness there's nothing else that can be done/taken into account for exams in regards to illness/circumstances.
Hopefully she won't have to miss any exams due to migraines as her prelims were pretty disastrous due to them, so she doesn't really have much to fall back on. I think really this year will be a bit of a write off and hopefully next year will be better! 
Fantastic news Yo ! I bet you shared the good news with all the attendees! now relax ... 
Finally hear back today! 
Brain and blood vessels and everything all normal! I am so relieved!! I got the call in the middle of a meeting at work and then informed the whole room of practical strangers that my daughters brain scan was clear! (I was on a bit of a high, but also felt like it would explain why I interrupted the meeting for a call! 
)
We discussed the side effects of her tablets, but have decided to keep with them until her review in a few months as that will see her through her exams.
It has been the longest 3 weeks ever! Thank you everyone 
I'm really not patient at all. I nearly lost it with the secretary yesterday, she was quite rude. But said she had emailed the consultant with my number to call me. Today all calls were going straight to voicemail (I did wonder if they were screening my calls! Paranoia setting in)
Might ask XP to try tomorrow just in case!!

Thanks both.
Still no news! Tried to phone yesterday and today, but the consultant is unavailable and he is the only person who can tell me the results. getting really annoyed now!
A 2 min phone call really would just put our minds at rest!
Maybe tomorrow!
