It's natural to be worried, I was terrified after I had my 2 CT scans but at the end of the day if it gets to the root of your problem at least you'll be able to get the treatments you need and be on the road to recovery. The contrast dye is horrible, it's an awful feeling which I was dreading more than anything after my first one and after the second dont think I'd ever want it again.

I hope all is well with your scan and they find something that's easily treated,

Good luck!

Oh that's not good 😮hopefully you won't need another after having your first and but if you do request an MRI instead given your reaction to the dye which is far more detailed than a CT scan anyway

Ella, it's just my personal opinion, but I don't think they should have left you like that. But I suppose to be fair, the effects might have passed off. Yours obviously haven't.

Can you maybe call either your own doctor's clinic or 111 for some advice? I don't know what might help, but maybe they can recommend something ?

Not what you're looking for?
