    yes me too. I had a upper cervical xray, throat, lower skull and upper back, as id been to a chiropractor who had caused serious injuries from a double neck twist which they do, Lesson learnt never to go near a chiro again - however i had the xray, Felt terrible. Had three days immediately after feeling exhauted, washed out and ill. And burning skin all over. like literally everywhere, scalp, inside of heels of foot, genitals, my whole body felt lilke the worst sunburn ever., Was horrid. My throat actually felt burnt too like id drank acid, my lungs felt awful like they were burnt and this was the last thing i ever expected after an xray. It seems the xrays are much stronger these days, my last one was 20 years ago. Had no effects then. So i dont trust at all xrays, my doctor said it was in my head pretty much and the hospital when i called to complain said it was impossible. Sorry im usually very fit and healthy before this chiro stuff which lead to the xrays, fully coherant and have a professional job - things are not 'in my head;. So really feel for you Mark as i went through the same. That was 7 weeks ago and i still get burning flaring up every other day, from what i understand x ray radiation is powerful stuff. It passes through the body, this isnt a joke, theres a reason they hide behind a booth when taking them and warn pregnant women not to have them. Our internal organs and skin are flooded with dangerous radiation that they claim is safe in small doses...but in big doses it kills you, so how is that safe. And then you end up like this with what we have suffered, as our body sadly has been exposed to a terrible toxin and we trusted the doctors. never again i feel so bad i put my body through it and have done without doubt terrible damage to it. It affects the skin cells, immune system, my face also came out in pigmentation like large freckles, fine lines and i had really good skin before that. Its aged me slightly and my hair actually washed out with more washing out in the shower after this, its gone very dry from the radiation and ive definitely had hair loss. So if someone wants to tell me its in my head let them, as thats absolute rubbish,. the NHS should explain whats going on and why this is happening. Interestingly when i turned down the CT scan after having this awful effect to an xray, with a CT scan being 50 times stronger and reading bad reactions to MRI on here too, i asked for ultrasound, Which could be done on the head and neck as an alternative with more limited risks than CT / MRI. I was refused that and told they only offer the higher risk more toxic options. Refused flat out to to ultrasound, which is used to check thyroids on nhs, but why not head and neck, especially as mine was a vascular issue after potential neck artery and head damage from the chiro. Suspicious to me why they wont use safer methods, maybe keeping the nhs in a job, ina  few years we may have radiation issues, tumors, cancer or other problems that can arise from having radiation pass through your body. If anyone checks the radiation charts online standard abdominal CT scan is equivalent they say to 7 years radiation they claim is natural background raditaion. Well 7 years in one cant be good for someones body, so i never ever will be having any xrays again. And looking into private healthcare as it seems they are the only hospitals who offer safer options like ultrasound etc.
