    To Have an MRI or Not???

    Got the results and all is normal. He said there are some white spots but normal as we get older. He wants me to see a neurologist to follow up but I think I am done. The MRI made the T worse and made me feel terrible so I don't want to spend more money on uneccessary appointments and tests.

    To Have an MRI or Not???

    Thank you for responding so fast and I will try not to worry! I hope to hear tomorrow since that is what the nurse told me to expect. Kind of ironic that I had the MRI for T, hearing loss and headaches and came out with all three things worse! Hoping that diminishes too. Thanks again.

    To Have an MRI or Not???

It is 3 hours later and I feel exhausted, have a headache and my ears are still unbalanced and feel like there is...

    Tinnitus, Hearing Loss & Autoimmune Disease?

It gets louder, chirps, subsides then gets so loud I even ask my family if they can hear it thinking our fridge...

    To Have an MRI or Not???

    I just saw this. Since my hearing in both ears has decreased more than what is usual for my age (41) they started asking about my general health which is generally ok apart from tinnitus and random numbness, headaches, neck pain, leg cramps which are all annoying but not debilitating. The...

    Any Bad Experiences with Contrast Dye (Gadolinium) for MRI?

    I am very glad to have found this forum. I have an MRI scheduled for this Thursday of my brain and brain stem with and without contrast. I too am really worried about the contrast. IfI knew for sure I needed this MRI I would not question it, but it seems to be a nice to know type of order.

    To Have an MRI or Not???

    I just posted about this today too. My ENT ordered one for me 2 years ago becuase of unilateral hearing loss. I never went. 2 years later he has ordered one again because of hearing loss in both ears which is now bilateral plus tinnitus and a positive ANA result. I go on Thursday.

    Tinnitus, Hearing Loss & Autoimmune Disease?

    Interesting. I guess I should get the MRI done then. Once he discovered he had MS, was there anything that helped the tinnitus?
