Hey, I wonder if anyone has any experience or support with this? I've had chronic tension headaches for years on one side of my head and have never worried too much about them (they're not painful, they just never go away) but in the last few weeks I've also felt a throbbing in my right eye and noticed that the headache is there first thing in the morning.
I called my doctor and she's referred me for an MRI, which has completely freaked me out. I don't have any of the obvious brain tumour symptoms -- no nausea, dizziness, forgetfulness or mood changes, but I just have this constant sense that something is sitting on or inside the right side of my head! Is it common to get an MRI referral and for it to turn out to be all clear? How can anyone stay sane in the weeks between getting a referral and getting results? (If it's relevant, I am a woman in my 30s.)
