      Just googled it there but nothing comes up about it. Did you get results of your brain MRI? Are your headaches any better?

      Yea I did the same it doesn't say anything about links between them. I'm on a waiting list I'm not getting it until March 😔 the waiting lists here are 6-7 months and that's suppose to be fast track.

      Well I did inquire with my specialist nurse and to my surprise she told me I'm better of staying public because waiting lists are just as bad and I would have to pay for everything IE consolations, scans, xrays, I mean I pay between €60-70 euro a month just for tablets any time I visit my gp it's €60 and if I'm in hospital it's anything from €150-€250 a pop.

      6-7 months is such a joke, it's not acceptable to expect someone to wait that long. You can get an MRI in limerick privately at an acceptable time frame. I know it would be an awful haul from Dublin. Don't know how much it is but you should think about it.

      There is a place here in kildare to I think but I belive it's highly expensive few hundred anyway.

      Are you private? If you don't mind me asking?

      I do have private health insurance i was thinking of getting of it then the kids came along so I hung on to it and I'm glad I did now. I ask my mother and she thinks an MRI brain is around €250 in a place in Limerick. Am I allowed say the name of the place on here or not? I could find out for you.
