TW: Chemical w-rfare, Ab-rtion

Urgent Ask to evacuate Nara, a 🍉 disabled woman with MS who also has pancreatic cancer due to chemical w-rfare.

Support by financially contributing to her @FedUp4Palestine vetted funhnd-raizer (that I personally vetted): givebutter.com/NaraMedicalAid

+ resharing/ reposting this post!

I, Sky Cubacub- a Fed up 4 Palestine team member, have been in direct contact with Nara to get to know her and her story more over the past few days. We have become fast friends due to so many overlapping symptoms of our disabilities. Nara’s story caught my eye because I have post-viral ME/CFS which many times is a precursor to MS. I really want my disability community to show up for her to get this campaign funded that is so close to my heart so that she can continue medical treatment.

We have chatted extensively! During our chats, I found out from Nara that she had not previously had health issues until she was exposed in the white phosphorus attack in 2008. The long lasting damage and effects of phosphorus continue to compound and become more and more disabling to this day, even after 16 years.

Here is her story in her own words (edited for clarity):

“Hi I'm Nara,

I'm a cancer and multiple sclerosis patient. I need treatment, examinations, and follow-up on a regular basis, but the hospitals in which I used to follow up were bombed and the other one was turned into military barracks. All I need now is to leave Gaza for treatment, preserve my life, and live with my family in peace.

We're a family of 4, including my 12 and 7 year old children.

I had been diagnosed with a tumor in the pancreas as a result of inhaling phosphorus in a previous war. A couple years after being exposed to phosphorus, I became pregnant, and the fetus was pressing on the tumor, which drew the doctor’s attention to the cancer. My fetus was emergency aborted, and the spleen, 80% of the pancreas, and part of the small intestine were removed. I complained every now and then of a lot of pain as a result of the removal of part of the pancreas. I was having follow up care in the Turkish Friendship Hospital for hematology and tumors. But since the beginning of October, I have not been able to follow up because the hospital has turned into a military barracks.

The remaining part is talking about multiple sclerosis:

In 2018, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had many complications, such as inflammation of the seventh nerve in the eye, the inability to walk with balance, movement with difficulty, and many symptoms. I was then required to take 12 injections every month and many medications and vitamins. I was following up at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, but unfortunately the hospital was out of service due to the war. So for a long time I have not received any injections. MS is truly difficult and it controls my life completely, and the attacks occur in many and varied ways.”

A note about her breathing apparatus:

Because people in displacement have to wait in long queues and pay to use the bathroom, Nara had started to restrict her water intake because of a UTI she never has been able to heal from. This has created a problem with raised levels of potassium, so doctors have placed her on oxygen for fear of the potassium affecting her heart.

Goals

she needs at least $15,000 to evacuate

2 adults at $5,000 each

2 children at $2,500 each

this price is subject to increase due to the cost of registration for evacuation continuing to go up

The other money will go to the cost of treatment and living costs.

Nara chooses to stay anonymous because she has had to mask her disabilities so much that only her family knows about her MS and Cancer, so we have not linked her instagram, but we are in direct contact with her and can verify that she is who she says she is! Because of this, she cannot promote her own fundraiser, so it is our job to collectively do it for her!

GAZA FUNDS MASTERPOST

Recently many Palestinians from Gaza have reached out to me for help; I'm donating what I can, but as an unemployed student my resources are limited, and sharing their stories is the second best thing I can do. Each of them *is* a person with a story rather than just another fundraiser link, and right now, each of them is in mortal danger. Please consider donating, even if all you can give is a couple dollars. Any amount WILL make a difference!!!

Please help my best friend's family afford a new car and medical bills

UPDATE 7/15/24: We've raised 15% of our goal!! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated!

G has been having additional struggles since I made this post. Testing revealed that she has warning signs for Multiple Sclerosis, which one of her sisters has. Their family also had a sewage pipe burst and contaminate one of her brothers' bedrooms. She's still in a lot of pain, and struggling mentally and emotionally as well. Thank you all so much for your prayers and shares.

UPDATE 8/28/24: G's family had to move out of their home temporarily due to black mold growing following the sewage pipe bursting, but they are back in their home now. G is in so much pain that she is looked into getting a wheelchair, and is currently working on getting surgery scheduled for her spine. They are still struggling, but they are surviving.

__

Hiya y'all. I wanna tell you a little bit about my best friend.

She's very private online, so I'm not going to share her name, especially since she doesn't know that I'm making this fundraiser, so we're gonna call her G. G is the hardest working person I've ever known. She's in her young 20s and is the oldest of seven children in her family, supported by their hardworking mother. She's been working for her family's sake for her entire life, throughout custody battles, a plethora of genetic health issues, and the financial burden that being a single mother of seven brings on. She is an incredible artist and writer, and is an art teacher as well as running a YouTube channel. She's funny, intelligent, and is one of my favorite people in the world.

About three weeks ago, G and her mother were rammed from behind while driving on the highway at night.

Their minivan was totaled, leaving them with two sedans in the family, and G has a spinal injury. She is in severe pain all the time, and is bedridden as she risks paralysis of her lower body. She will be unable to work for at least the summer, and it's unlikely that she'll be able to work during the fall semester either. While she is receiving medical treatment that is paid for by the offending driver's insurance, her progress is slow to nonexistent.

Her family managed to get a new minivan, but it cost them $20,000 that they didn't have. Today, her brother's sedan burst into flames in a parking lot, harming no one but torching the car and everything inside. G is distraught and struggling heavily with her mental health as well as physical.

I wish I could help support them financially, but being unemployed myself I have very little that I can give, so I'm making this fundraiser instead. I've asked her several times to consider making a gofundme, but she's been hesitant, so I'm making one in her stead. Please consider donating, I know it's a bit of a cliche but every dollar helps, and if you can't donate please consider sharing. Thank you for reading.

The cost is set to go far beyond human suffering, yet almost five years into the pandemic, not only are there still no treatments for long Covid, there aren’t even any diagnostic tools – and we don’t seem overly interested in finding them.

The jig is up. People are catching on that “mild” Covid-19 may not be so mild, and that the mysterious lingering symptoms they’ve experienced after catching the virus, such as fatigue and brain fog, may just be connected. For others, this will be the first time that they put two and two together. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but strap in for what comes next.

Recently, RNZ ran a piece outlining the estimated $2bn per year economic cost of long Covid in New Zealand and signalling that further research would be needed to determine a more precise figure. The average reader would assume that this research is under way or has at least been planned and funded. Human suffering aside, such a hit to productivity would surely raise alarm bells across the political spectrum!

I say this solemnly: yeah… nah.

Almost five years into the pandemic, not only are there still no treatments for long Covid, there also aren’t even any diagnostic tools – and we don’t seem overly interested in finding them.

At present, a long Covid diagnosis relies on a patient finding a doctor with up-to-date knowledge, who will believe their symptoms, and who will spend time investigating further to rule out other possibilities. This mythical trifecta is out of reach for most people, particularly women, who are affected by immune conditions at far higher rates, but have their symptoms written off as hysteria; and Māori and Pasifika, who face barriers to healthcare, and have their symptoms written off as laziness. Obtaining accurate data on prevalence under these circumstances is simply impossible.

In this way, and several others, long Covid mirrors ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis), a brutally debilitating biophysical condition, though the oft misused term “chronic fatigue” doesn’t quite convey that. Around half of long Covid sufferers meet the criteria for ME/CFS, which by the World Health Organization’s scale has a worse disease burden than HIV/Aids, multiple sclerosis (MS), and many forms of cancer. But again, there are no treatments.

I suffer from ME/CFS myself. My illness predates Covid-19 and came on after an infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV). I went from a fit and active young man to debilitatingly sick and fatigued, with several unexplained symptoms.

Pre-pandemic there was estimated to be more than 25,000 people in New Zealand suffering from ME/CFS, and only one specialist in the country, working one day a week, who has since retired (well earned, bless her). For years I had been praying for any sort of diagnosis, even if it was bad, so that I could get on the path to recovery. I got the diagnosis – but for a disease with no path to recovery.

As the pandemic unfolded, patients and advocates in the ME/CFS community warned that a tsunami of disability was approaching. They were of course ignored, as they have been for decades, and are now joined by masses of long Covid sufferers facing the reality that the medical profession has no answers for them, except perhaps euthanasia.

Frustrated with my lack of options, I connected with cellular immunologist Dr Anna Brooks, who had become a leading expert on long Covid, so I assumed that her biomedical research would be well supported. Alas, she detailed the uphill grind that it’s been to gain traction compared to other countries, and that generous donations, usually from patients themselves, had been the driving force of funding.

Together we founded DysImmune Research Aotearoa, with the goal of developing diagnostic tools leading to treatment for post-viral illnesses like long Covid and ME/CFS. In layman’s terms, we collect blood samples, analyse differences in cells, and put together an immune profile. My priority is ensuring that Māori and Pasifika patients and researchers are at the table and taking action into our own hands.

We’ve made a small start, and we have some incredible collaborations lined up, with far-reaching implications for community health. We’re in the process of seeking partnerships to take things forward. The expertise exists, it’s here in New Zealand. Still, the barrier to progress across the research space is the urgency for resourcing. It is dire to say the least.

Without some long-term project certainty, it’s difficult to pull the necessary teams together. While study after study illuminates more horrifying long-term effects of Covid infections, and prevention has been completely abandoned, research and development for treatments for long Covid is tanking. The private sector is at the whim of the quarterly financial report, and with no guaranteed short-term profit in treating us, it has very little incentive to take the risk.

So, barring some philanthropic miracle, only government can fill this gap. Yet where Australia had set aside A$50m specifically for long Covid research, and the US Senate considers a billion-dollar long Covid “moonshot” bill, New Zealand has allocated nothing. We’re fast asleep at the wheel. No other country can determine how many of our people are impacted by post-viral illnesses. No other country can address our specific needs.

Since this government is focused on ambition, productivity and fast-tracking, I assume they’d want to be world leaders in research, warp-speed some projects, and get long Covid sufferers back into work, no? This is what we are calling for. Not surveys. Not “talk” therapy and positive thinking. Biomedical research.

Put the money down and commit to this. Seize this opportunity to right decades of neglect. There are tens of thousands of us fighting for our lives, and millions more around the world. You think it won’t be you, then after your next inevitable Covid-19 reinfection, it is, and you’re left to wonder why nobody stepped up.

Government, iwi and whānau ora groups, health organisations, philanthropists – reach out. Let’s work.

As some of you may know, my husband has had Multiple Sclerosis for 25 years or so. Over that time, certain treatments and more than a few accidents caused by falling over or into things, most of his teeth have been damaged to the stage that our dentist has given him a dental plate to wear.

Unfortunately he has a severe gag reflex when wearing it and his weight has dropped drastically because of the difficulty he has in eating with or without the plate. This is causing real concern for me and those close to us.

It has also had an impact on his (and thereby my) mental health. He avoids speaking with people, socialising and only leaves the house when he absolutely has to.

Our dentist tells us that in his opinion, because of the damage done, the only viable solution would be dental implants. The cost of this procedure is way beyond our means with our income, and we find ourselves in the embarrassing position of seeking help.

Between his disability income and what I make, we will save as much as we can, but it would take years to reach the target. We are not asking for the full cost of the procedure but a portion of it. We will also do our part and cut corners and make hard decisions where necessary - To this end we have set up a GoFundMe page which was a heart wrenching and humiliating decision to make but we can't do this without the kindness and generosity of others.

Please share this far and wide, even if you can't contribute. Any contribution, be it pennies or pounds will be gratefully received with thanks from the bottom of our hearts. I want to see him smile again.

A comprehensive list of things chiropractors can treat or cure by clicking your back, according to old lady gossip circle:

Multiple sclerosis

Diabetes

Asthma

Cardiovascular disease

Ibs

Chrons disease

Immunocompromization

Your fight or flight response

Anxiety

Depression

Neurological conditions like tourettes

Lymph node drainage

Infertility

Endometriosis

Pcos

Virtigo

Chronic pain caused by "inflammation" which is not actual inflammation but refers to conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis

Chronic pain in general

Tuberculosis by way of lung massages that put more air in the muscles and makes breathing easier

Difficult pregnancy

It has to be noted that chiropractors can treat exactly 0 of these conditions, and chiropractic "treatments" can not even provide relief for most of these. Chiropractors can massage and stretch you, providing temporary relief for pain caused by injury, muscle tension or cramps. They can not even address the underlying cause of these issues. They do not require a medical degree to practice, and they aren't covered by most medical insurance FOR A REASON. you can get the same effect from your hairdresser giving you a neck massage while shampooing you and that does not cost an arm and a leg.

Chiropractors are exploitative quacks who make bold claims and use big words to make money off your suffering. If you want to treat an injury go to a physical therapist who has a medical degree or sport science doctorate at least, or ideally a biokineticist. If you want to treat ANY OF THE REST OF THESE go to your GP, get a referral to a specialist with a PhD in their selected medical field that they got from medical school, and treat it with clinical evidence based intervention.

For the love of God if you want your back clicked pay a chiropractor a fuck ton of money but don't expect a cure to come for your chronic illness from theatrics and some stretching.

[ammg-old2]

Chronic illness is well hidden from society.

Before I had a name for what ailed my body, I thought of myself as dehydrated and out of shape. I believed that the physical discomfort I’d experienced for years — numbness, pain, tingling and pins-and-needles sensations throughout my body — must be traceable to a cause of my own making. At that time, I looked at chronic illness as an outsider. It was a thing that happened to others, not to me.

That changed on Christmas Eve 2014, when a neurologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital read my M.R.I. and confirmed that I had relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. This form of the disease, as the name implies, is characterized by unexpected flare-ups and periods of remission.

I was 26. I realized right then that my dream of being an artist, and the unconventional lifestyle I expected along with it, was over before it began. Four months after my diagnosis, I received my first infusion of high-dose intravenous steroids. In the fall of 2015, under the care of a neurologist, I began a monthly intravenous treatment of medication that blocks immune cells from entering the brain and spinal cord. I travel 65 miles to a site in the Hudson Valley for the infusion therapy.

Treatment has been successful, and I have remained in a state of remission while taking it as recommended — every 28 days, indefinitely. But even today, nine years into managing the illness, I struggle with the chronic nature of my condition. I am always aware that if lose my access to regular treatment, I’ll be at risk of severe disability.

Though I don’t like to admit it, every choice I make is determined by my need to maintain uninterrupted access to medical care. This has made my illness the truest navigational force of my life. Rather than orient myself to the cycle of the moon, I orient myself to the cycle of infusion. And it has become a system in my creative work. My body is a clock.

Every 28 days, I point the camera toward myself to document my illness and care. I have used my time as a patient in the infusion suite, a place where I sometimes feel powerless, to reclaim my autonomy as an artist and photographer.

In the infusion suite, both my body and my mind become containers for information. My body holds the new intelligence of the medical drip. As the fluid flows through my body and into my bloodstream, my mind is usually inundated with information from the staff.

Since my diagnosis I’ve thought often of my aunt, who has lived with progressive multiple sclerosis for years. Without health insurance, she did not have access to advanced imaging, diagnostic testing, medication or lifestyle guidance until her disease was very advanced. Instead, she found ways to self-medicate. Now in her early 60s, she is immobile, hardly able to speak and unable to navigate the social programs for which she is eligible.

Whether or not we’re aware of it, we all live in fragile bodies that require tremendous care and attention to function. Each and every one of us exists on a spectrum of illness, often dipping in and out of it. And yet, we also exist in a culture where it is taboo to talk about being sick, and the taboo can allow shame to fester among those who are chronically ill.

Still, I choose not to dwell on the scarier moments of managing the disease — the psychological burden and angst caused by my symptoms as well as the precarity and inhumanity of health care access and costs in the United States. The sophisticated treatments that exist today make this the best time in history to live with multiple sclerosis — if you can get access to care. The politics of this cannot be avoided. To be sick is political.

Maintaining all the pieces to continue to receive care in the current system is exhausting and stressful to navigate. Patient education and advocacy have been critical to my health care experience.

I came of age and of illness after the Obama-era Affordable Care Act established protections for people with pre-existing and chronic conditions. Yet even with this framework and my participation in private insurance, now supplemented by my employer, the recurring thought of losing my coverage and being denied my medication causes me much distress.

We are not prepared for problems that cannot be solved, and living with that reality is part of being chronically ill. There is no practical end. How do we break the silence to begin to discuss pain, loss, a broken health insurance economy, overworked nurses and the precarity of care?

With the coming 2024 presidential election, there will surely be renewed calls to repeal and replace Obamacare. The threat and fear of losing access to care will loom for millions. Even with the recent and ongoing events of the Covid pandemic, an adequate and sustainable system remains out of reach. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have already lost and are still losing access to care as Medicaid pandemic protections expire.

Political responses to this crisis of care matter. But so do personal and artistic ones. What if chronic illness, long concealed and misrepresented by popular culture, was made more visible? What if it was more often a subject for art?

Breakthrough Alert:

Stem Cell Therapy In A Capsule, Anyone?

It’s no secret how stem cell therapy has been known to effectively treat some illnesses but it hasn’t also been the easiest one to avail of. Now that it is available in a capsule form, this breakthrough is seen as a real game-changer.

Our health and wellness are priceless possessions that need to be taken care of.

However, illnesses and various other health conditions can threaten and impact the physical, emotional and financial well-being of an individual and his loved ones. Depending on the severity of the health condition, many people turn to different kinds of treatment including the unconventional ones. For some, stem cell therapy is considered as a “miracle treatment.”

As indicated in an FDA.gov article, stem cell therapies may offer the potential to treat a number of medical conditions and diseases for which few treatments exist. After all, stem cells are known as the body’s raw materials. Under the right conditions, these cells can regenerate and replace damaged cells. Though stem cell therapy appears to be effective in some treatments, it can be very expensive.

Recently, GFoxx International introduced an option called Elixir Placenta which is regarded as a “stem cell therapy in a capsule.” Made from New Zealand Deer Placenta, it combines the benefits of stem cell therapy, DNA therapy and anti-inflammatory therapy in one soft gel capsule.

But why a deer placenta? Studies show that the New Zealand deer placenta is closely similar to the human placenta. These animals from the southern island mountains of New Zealand, live and grow within pristine and pollution-free surroundings.

Here are some things to consider about the “stem cell therapy in a capsule” just in case you’re curious.

It offers treatment benefits for some health conditions. The combination of stem cell therapy, DNA therapy, and anti-inflammatory therapy has been utilized to treat conditions like arthritis, multiple sclerosis, heart attack, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and other chronic diseases.

It is made up of 14 high-quality ingredients. The capsule’s ingredients have been sourced from different countries and for the sake of transparency, these include the New Zealand Deer Placenta, Angelica Sinesis, grape and olive extract, D-Ribose, yeast extract, Squalene oil, MCT (medium-chain triglycerides), fermented red ginseng, rice bran oil, sea buckthorn oil, Rhodilola Rosea, Black currant seed oil, Fenugreek and Nigela seed oil.

It is considerably less expensive than flying out for stem cell therapy. According to research, a stem cell therapy can cost as much as P10 million pesos and that’s exclusive of airfare, lodging and miscellaneous expenses as some patients usually have to fly to the United States or Sweden to get it. Now that there is an option that comes in a capsule form, the treatment is made more accessible and affordable.

To know more about this capsule, visit of my store If you are considering any form of stem cell therapy, make sure that any supplement or medicine is FDA-approved and learn about the regulations that cover products in the country. As with any other treatments, be properly informed, practice caution and ask for advice from medical experts before proceeding.

Live long and live healthy!

RATING: MOSTLY RELIABLE

The statistic on Canada's cost threshold is outdated, as the threshold has since been increased to $24,057 per year. The information may be somewhat over simplified, but is generally correct.

Australia and New Zealand both deny visas on the basis of potential medical costs, including for autism.

Source: 'People seeking long-term visas for either country must undergo rigorous medical screening. Those who may pose a significant cost to the taxpayer over a period of five years — measured at about $45,000 in New Zealand and about $32,000 in Australia — or who have medical conditions considered especially costly have their visa applications denied. Having private health insurance makes no difference, and being born in either country does not confer automatic citizenship.

Across both countries, over 1,600 people are affected by the policies each year. People have been turned away with conditions as varied as autism, obesity, intellectual disability, lupus and multiple sclerosis.'

The US can deny visas on the basis of a mental or physical disorder only if there is 'harmful behaviour' associated with the disoder.

Source: 'Applicants who have physical or mental disorders and harmful behavior associated with those disorders are inadmissible. [2] The inadmissibility ground is divided into two subcategories:

Current physical or mental disorders, with associated harmful behavior. 

Past physical or mental disorders, with associated harmful behavior that is likely to recur or lead to other harmful behavior.'

In the UK, anyone staying for more than 6 months require a medical examination, and can be denied for health issues that may prevent them from supporting themselves or require major treatment.

Source: 'The objective of the medical examination and recommendation is to prevent the entry of, or bring to notice, persons who if admitted to the UK might:

endanger the health of other persons in the UK; or

be unable for medical reasons to support themselves and or dependants in the UK; or

Canada changed their immigration laws in 2017, increasing the support needs threshold to $20,000, as stated in the video. The threshold has since been increased to $24,057 per year.

Source: 'As currently written, the law allows the government to deny residency to an entire family if even one person in the group has a disability or medical condition that could place “excessive demand” on Canada’s publicly funded health and social service systems – meaning it will cost more than $6,655 a year to care for them, a figure the government says was the average, per-capita health and social service spending in Canada in 2016.

But after Monday’s announcement, Canada will no longer consider certain costs when deciding if someone can come to Canada – such as special education costs for children with intellectual disabilities. The government said it will also triple the cost threshold for denying someone based on medical conditions to nearly $20,000 a year.'

It is difficult to provide any statistics on how many people disclose their autism during a visa application, so I cannot speak to the accuracy of this statement.

This is exactly what I mean when I say the society even more “progressive” societies are inherently ableist

MRI Brain Cost in Delhi: Understanding the Procedure, Benefits, and Affordability

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most advanced diagnostic imaging techniques used by healthcare professionals to assess various conditions affecting the brain and other parts of the body. An MRI brain scan specifically focuses on providing detailed images of the brain, helping doctors diagnose and monitor neurological conditions. It is a non-invasive procedure that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create high-resolution images, which are instrumental in the diagnosis of a wide range of brain-related issues.Many people search for the MRI brain cost in Delhi to find affordable and reliable diagnostic services in the region.

What is an MRI Brain Scan?

An MRI brain scan is a medical imaging procedure that uses powerful magnets, radio waves, and a computer to generate detailed images of the brain. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI scans do not involve radiation, making them a safer alternative for detecting and monitoring brain conditions.

The MRI brain scan is typically used to evaluate various neurological conditions such as:

Brain Tumors: MRI is one of the most effective tools for detecting brain tumors, both benign and malignant.

Stroke: It helps identify areas of the brain affected by a stroke, enabling doctors to determine the extent of the damage and plan the treatment.

Multiple Sclerosis: MRI can reveal lesions or damage in the brain caused by multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease affecting the nervous system.

Brain Infections: In cases of brain infections such as encephalitis or meningitis, MRI can provide a clear view of the affected areas.

Epilepsy and Seizures: MRI brain scans are used to assess the brain for abnormalities that could be contributing to seizure disorders.

Hydrocephalus: MRI can detect fluid buildup in the brain, which may lead to hydrocephalus (water on the brain).

Traumatic Brain Injuries: After a head injury, an MRI brain scan can help evaluate any potential damage to brain tissue.

In addition to diagnosing specific conditions, MRI scans are also used to monitor the progression of diseases, track the effectiveness of treatments, and guide surgical planning.

The MRI Brain Scan Procedure

The procedure for an MRI brain scan is simple, non-invasive, and generally takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect:

Preparation: Before the scan, you will be asked to remove any metal objects (jewelry, watches, hearing aids, etc.) as metal can interfere with the magnetic field. You may also be given a hospital gown to wear during the procedure.

Positioning: You will lie down on a motorized table that slides into the MRI machine. The technician will position your head within the scanner and may use padding to ensure that you remain still during the scan. It’s important to stay as still as possible to get clear images.

Scan: The MRI machine creates detailed images of the brain by generating a strong magnetic field and sending radio waves through the body. You will hear knocking or buzzing noises during the scan, but this is normal and caused by the machine’s magnets. The procedure is typically painless, but some individuals may feel discomfort from the loud noise or the need to remain still for an extended period.

Contrast Dye: In some cases, a contrast agent (gadolinium) may be injected into your veins to improve the clarity of the images. This helps highlight certain structures or abnormalities in the brain.

Post-Scan: After the scan is complete, you will be able to resume your normal activities. The images will be analyzed by a radiologist, who will provide a detailed report to your doctor.

Benefits of an MRI Brain Scan

Detailed Imaging: MRI provides highly detailed images of the brain, allowing healthcare providers to diagnose conditions with great accuracy. The ability to distinguish between soft tissues, blood vessels, and other structures makes MRI an invaluable tool in neurology.

Non-Invasive: Unlike other diagnostic procedures, such as biopsies or surgeries, MRI is non-invasive, meaning there is no need for incisions or injections, other than the potential use of contrast dye.

No Radiation: MRI scans do not use ionizing radiation (unlike X-rays or CT scans), making them a safer option for imaging, particularly for individuals who may require multiple scans over time.

Early Detection: MRI brain scans are crucial for the early detection of brain disorders such as tumors, strokes, and multiple sclerosis. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, potentially improving outcomes for patients.

Monitoring Chronic Conditions: For individuals with chronic neurological conditions, such as epilepsy or multiple sclerosis, MRI scans help doctors monitor disease progression and assess the effectiveness of ongoing treatment plans.

MRI Brain Cost in Delhi

The MRI brain cost in Delhi can vary based on several factors, including the diagnostic center, the type of MRI scan required, and whether contrast is used. On average, the price for an MRI brain scan in Delhi ranges from ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 for a standard scan. If a contrast agent is required, the price may increase, typically ranging from ₹6,000 to ₹12,000.

Several factors affect the price of an MRI brain scan:

Diagnostic Center: Different hospitals and diagnostic centers in Delhi offer MRI scans at varying prices. Premium hospitals or renowned diagnostic centers may charge more due to their state-of-the-art technology and expert radiologists.

Contrast Use: If a contrast dye is required to enhance the quality of the images, the cost of the MRI scan will increase. Contrast agents provide better visualization of certain areas of the brain, which is especially helpful in detecting tumors, infections, or blood vessel abnormalities.

Location: The cost of MRI scans may vary depending on the locality within Delhi. Diagnostic centers located in prime areas or private hospitals may charge higher fees compared to those in less central locations.
