Honestly I would rather have a CT than an MRI because those take forever I think like an hour and they are really loud the CT is pretty fast but it's like an x-Ray instead of magnets and less detailed...
I did have a CT scan to see if I had any injuries or tumors in my head, but I feel like that's not enough.

I was supposed to get tested for epilepsy because I have panoramic visual hallucinations in addition to other visuals... and there was one incident where I had an "aura" before some bad breakthrough hallucinations... I know they usually use EEGs but I don't think that can pick up brain damage. I don't think I have epilepsy but that nagging thought that I have brain damage somehow just won't go away... I'm like having flashbacks to every time I've hit my head, held my breath for too long, fasted, etc. and I just can't shake the feeling that this is my fault...

But if it is delusional, then maybe I shouldn't get one because that's like giving into delusions. So idk.
