MRI today - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

CJRT · 07-17-2007, 05:23 AM

I'm going for my MRI today. With contrast. I am going to ask for my own set of copies of the study as some of you suggested so I have a record myself.

I'm not nervous, its just an MRI which I've had before.

But am curious if its going to show anything. I have been down and out for the past 3 days. Felt awful, been in bed mostly. Had lots of tremors and shaking and a lot of pain.

Anyway, I'm going to call the dr. office when I get back and ask them to reschedule my appointment closer than Sept. 12. I've been so sick, I can't do ANYTHING and I can't live like this for another 40something days.

Well it went ok. I did ask when they went to put the contrast in, if they could take the cage off my face for a few min. I had started to get a bit claustrophobic. But for the most part, I just kept my eyes shut and listed to the music they had playing. And the few minutes without that cage over my head really helped.

I won't get the results back until Sept. But they did tell me they have no problem giving me copies of it.

We've been joking that it does indeed prove I DO have a brain as there have always been some doubts.
