If so, where was it carried out finally? Where/how did your journey start? Did you have to go to a specialist centre? Were you referred, or did you go off your own back?

MRI scan will diagnose and if it is an Acoustic Neuroma I had mone done in Manchester. I think if there is anything urgent they will contact you as soon as the results are reported on fron the x-ray

Thanks. MRI sounds like I need doctor. There is a hospital in Potsmouth dealing with that sort of thing?

Well time gone by. I now think that did have some nerve damage, gifted me by parents when I was born. As this info was only given to a select few, and even then in very confusing fashion. So, come 1992 when a bus hit me, it was game over already, and could only get worse.The moral of this story, in England, why is education, so often used by politicians in the wrong way
