Hi Guys:
I just wanted to let you know that I got my MRI done today. I don't ever want to have one of those again. I thought I would go out of my mind before it was done. It felt like I was in a coffin. And the part where they had to have your mouth open for, that was hard. My jaws started to spasm really bad but I am so thankful I got that done. Thankfully the guy who did the MRI was very nice to me and that helped too. Tiffany

Tiffany, Glad to hear you made it through!!! That is something that the thought of it makes me panic. It is great that you had a nice guy doing it to help you through. I remember when I went for just a CAT scan and luckily the tech. was a very nice lady and just the way she talked calmed me down alot. Hope you get the results fast so you know what is really going on and what to do next to help you. Take care, Shell

Hi Guys:
Yes, I am SO glad that MRI is over with. I see my doctor on June 5th so I can get the results then. I got my neurologist to order the MRI for me but he won't be the one to treat me. I wanted the MRI so I could seek out someone who specializes in TMJ. I figured my insurance would pay better if a doctor ordered the MRI. They are always looking for a reason to not pay. I'll let you guys know as soon as I find anything out. Thanks for all your support.

Tiffany,

I'm not sure if you're aware of it or not, but you can call your neurologists' office for the MRI results before June 5th. I would think that if you had the test done on Sunday, he'd likely have the results by Friday. They WILL give you the results over the phone.
