Holls 1499 Posted May 6 Hi all. It's been a very long time since I've been here. Love this community. The only social media I have is Instagram and I've been seeing ads for prenuvo so much. Prenuvo is an MRI scan that you pay for yourself. You can get diff scans ranging from like 2500-1000. How do y'all feel about these types of "preventative" scans? I feel like it's opening a can of worms then my anxiety tells me but you need to do it lol. I've always wondered why scans weren't part of a yearly health check . I'm curious what my fellow anxiety central friends think. Hugs everyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sTeaLth 232 Posted May 6 I agree with Ironman. Even setting yearly checks with my doc gives me some anxiety. An MRI is pretty spendy for not needing it. Our bodies are pretty good at telling us when something is actually wrong. it’s also good to see you again, Holls! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just got blood work done and I was an anxious mess until my results came in. Thank you for your feedback back on th scan, that helps bec my mind was ready telling me I needed it.

Good to see you Holls ! I was wondering how are you doing since we spoke last some 5 years ago. Kinda funny we came back around the same time...

Mike L 86 Posted May 20 I say this with the highest respect and no offense... You should not be getting these tests unless a doctor says you need it. My Doctor told me that Doctors should not be recommending tests unless they are medically necessary and should not be recommending tests because a patient demands it. There should always be a reason! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
