Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Spect Brain Scan
I had a spect brain scan today and have to wait for the results. I have been lost for a few days and don't know how long i will be able to stay "present" right now, but I am wondering if anyone else has had one of these? They are looking for suspected brain damage that I don't remember happening as well as to see what areas of the brain are misfiring so as to try to find meds that will help even though I have already tried them all. I am scared...

My daughter Evie (batgirl) had one of those, also a catscan and 2 MRIs. She was scared also first time round. Believe she started a thread about it several months back. Might wish to talk to her Grace. Take good care.

Jim.

Yes Grace as Dad says I have had a spect scan, as well as a couple of EEGs, MRIs and a cat scan. I started a thread last year about my fears of having the tests, not sure it will help but lots of people commented on their own experiences so here's the link to it:

Brain Tests - Do They Hurt?

I understand being scared about the results... I assume you're scared you do have some brain damage? If it's any consolation to you, I also have brain damage but I am starting to quite enjoy my life in spite of it. I'm to the point where I really don't even think about it much. It's a just a part of me which I have adjusted to. It doesn't change who I am as a person. If you have brain damage I hope you can get to that point too.
