Prior to ME/CFS, I had chronic nausea and visited many doctors, specifically gastroenterologists. Ive had many CT scans, xrays, HIDA scans, even radioactive material injected in my blood!

I've had way more radiation exposure than the general population.

only after the ME/CFS, in an attempt to assess neurological problems (check for brain tumor and MS) and severe abdominal pain, both of which came from the ME, in all probability (certainly the neurological problems do, and the abdominal pain likely does as well)

Yes I have had tonnes of scans etc over the years since getting sick. I have to go for yet another ultrasound next week and an MRI. MRI's are proven to be safe though, thank goodness.

It makes me worry about the rest though..
