Hello,

like everyone on here I am really worried about waiting for tests. I have two young kids and I keep crying when I think something is wrong. I am extremely tired all the time, currently off work. I have severe pain behind my ear and possibly jaw I can’t tell. ENT couldn’t see anything in my ear but on the exam in my ear canal it was extremely painful. I feel like I can’t even be a mum at the moment due to worry, pain and fatigue. It’s really upsetting my 8 year old as they can’t understand why I’m not being normal. I’m trying my best.

i have an urgent referral for an MRI referred by ENT. Does anyone know roughly how long this takes? It’s in Glasgow? I’m now contemplating going private and taking out a credit card to pay.
