Further to my post a week or so ago regarding getting a private MRI scan for my daughter, i spoke to a paediatric neurologist on the phone on Friday, after describing my daughters symptoms he wrote an email for me to take straight to A&E. We spent 8 hours there seeing various doctors and having various examinations. We go back at 9am tomorrow for her to have an MRI scan. I am so scared and worried 🙁

Hand hold here. I read your previous thread. It must be very frightening but you have done brilliantly to get a scan organised so quickly.

Don't worry.
Ds was referred for a MRI scan this year. The paediatrician was very clear that she wasn't expecting to find anything (and she didn't) and it was just a precaution (ongoing headaches).
I think I saw her on the Wednesday, got the MRI appointment for the following Monday which was also a bank holiday. Caused my blood pressure to go up a little.
If they think there's any possibility of finding something that needs acting on quickly, they'll get you in quickly. It doesn't mean that they necessarily expect to find something.

I know you suffer a lot from health anxiety, OP, and no wonder after losing your baby. I hope your daughter's MRI goes well and this allows you to relax.
