Thank you for your replies.

Wishforchange thats terrible phone them up ask what is going on.


I was sent by my NHS neuro to a private hospital to have my MRI they said your Neuro will get them in 2days but how long it will take for them to give an appointment is down to the waiting list well that tells me 3 months.

So I call the Neuros sectary and she says my Dr will also get the report but did not say when Its this waiting I cant bare.

Thanks again i will have to be patient I'm having a ultra sound done on my neck to rule out mini strokes on Monday so my Neuro may be waiting for those results as well before sending me an appointment.

Hi Terrie,

I didn't wait on my results.  Called the facility, asked them when I could pick them up.  Never waited more than 4 days for the reports.

Reason being, these Neuro appts. are too long inbetween, usually 3 months, etc., and I wasn't feeling like waiting on them to tell me what the report said.

Had it done beginning of May.  Still Waiting.  Just bland reassurances from doctor.  Think I'll never get them.  Wish I'd never had it done, waste of time and money.  Blasted said doctor with my over active sarcasm in writing, that part of me is undamaged anyway.

I know you don't want to hear this but each time I have had my results and films in my hands the very next day .  Since you are in the UK I understand the system works entirely different.  On the UK MS  society board I have read lots of complaints about the slow reading of films .  I don't know what you can do to speed it up for you.  

Sorry you're still waiting,
laura

I waited one time for an MRI for three months.  This last time, however, I waited a couple of hours!  My neuro read the results on his computer in his office right after I finished.  That's the day I was diagnosed.

Hey girl...I waited about 7 days for my results of my last one but when I had one that I paid for, I had the copy of the MRI in my hand 15 minutes after the actual MRI!  So I guess it depends on the doctor, the radiologist that does it and how busy the facility is.  Hope you don't have to wait much longer and I hope you get some results!  Fingers and toes are crossed!

Lots of HUgs,

Rena
