that's what i thought i'd ever had (bike accident, a few stitches in my lip) but it boiled down to some experimental surgery to get rid of what's inside of my face.

I heard MRIs give you\rises the chance of cancer.

So does any exposure to sunlight.

You could be unlucky and get cancer from a split second of sunlight. All it takes is one high energy photon to ionize part of your DNA :)

when you are eating do you stuff a little up there to safe as a snack for later
i didn't need those sides anyways.

hope you get healthy results op.
hope the operation goes well tomthegeek.

Looking to see if I have a herniated disc or two

Oh forget dude

hope you get better

I had an MRI, EEG, and a Catscan all done when I was 9. It sucks, I was in the hospital for weeks. I had them all done because they thought I was an Eplipetic due to my seizure-like tremors. I didn't have Epilepsy though, thank goodness. Best of luck, Slayer.

Dude, same here, except I was 12 and I actually do have epilepsy.
They would actually try to make me have a seizure to get readings.

how did the headphones not break?

Were you diagnosed with any specific form of Epilepsy or was it just normal Epilepsy? The amount of tremors I have been having recently have been much worse than when I was a kid, and I'm starting to think I was misdiagnosed. Instead of having Tourette's, I think I have Myoclonus Epilepsy. It's when you are conscious while having a seizure/tremor.

dunno but they wouldn't even let my dad bring in anything and he was just sitting in the room

I was diagnosed with Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, or JME.

i had several CAT scans when i was in 1st grade because i had nearly fatal appendicitis
like, when they took the first one at a local clinic, my appendix had already burst and the doctors said i shouldn't have made it to surgery
i don't remember much of them except that it was really hard to move my arms after the initial scan because they said i had to have them up over my head and couldn't move them

anyways best of luck to slayer and tom with their surgeries, hope everything goes well

everything is out to kill you nowadays.

I had an MRI and some other three letter scan thingy beginning with e once. It was because like three times I just randomly passed out and woke back up as soon as I hit the floor. I was supposed to be asleep for one of them, I got to stay up till 12 watching movies, and had to leave at like 4 in the morning. I didn't sleep at all.
