Hey guys, 

I just wanted to say, I'm happy I found this forum. I found reassurance reading through these posts and seeing I'm not the only one going through this. 
 

Back in February, I attended my opticians for a routinely check up appointment. Unfortunately, the opticians found a bleed in my right eye. I was immediately referred over to the Eye Hospital. Naively, I thought it was a quick in and out job and I'd be home in no time. I was completely wrong. I spent a full day at the hospital and I was told to return the day after for a full blood count. I was told by the consultant that they found a haemorrhage in my right eye and my optic nerve was swollen which is the main nerve that connects the brain to the eye. The consultant then advised she would like for me to attend a MRI brain scan. I was completely shocked, I didn't think this much fuss would be made about my eyes. 

As a 22-year old, this has been a complete rollercoaster. I am an over thinker and for the past month I've been tossing and turning as I keep thinking what it could be  

I finally went for my MRI brain scan on Friday. The doctors were absolutely lovely there. However, I received my letter for a consultation for 2 weeks time. 

The letter was sent prior to the MRI appointment. Again, this has completely threw me off. Everyone keeps saying I'm being silly.

Has anyone else been through this? Is it normal to have a consultation around 2 weeks after? Surely there is nothing to worry about, if there was anything serious, I would have been called in already right? 

 

(By the way, the full blood count came back absolutely fine too which worries me even more as I'm anxious for an answer. Pretty selfish of me but I know I have to be patient haha)
