MRI #%^$#@
 

claustrophobia...never knew i had it 'tiil today. went for an mri and now i know what the inside of a hotdog feels like- get me the $%^$% out of here....25 minutes!@# yeah right... hope there's an option.

I took a nap. They kept asking if I was ok.

PUT A TOWEL OVER YOUR EYES & MAKE SURE THEY PLAY GOOD MUSIC ><><><

Hey, that's how you calm down a hooked sea-gull...:hihi:

Seriously, Don, hope all goes well -

Take care of yourself, buddy!

Oh man, the Clammer is takin' a beating around here....

They're gonna bring us up on charges of elder abuse if we're not careful...:hihi:

I had about 6 last year when I got sick,I had an autoimune disease that attacked my eye muscle,it was called "mg" knocked me out of work for three months,I remember the first one,they inject you with a tracing fluid I thought i was going to puke then it felt like I was peeing my pants,but you get used to them

I had one last week, my third. I guess if you are claustrophobic it would be intimidating for sure. I am just glad I am thin. I can't imagine being heavy set. They would have to use some butter. Thing that kills me is they give me headphones and ask me what kind of music I want . The problem is the friggin noise is so loud I can't hear a damn thing. When I was done they asked about the tunes and I said it would of been great if not for that stupid banging, ringing, buzzing noise. I also had to have an x ray of my eyes to make sure I didn't have and metal in there which could have been interesting.

I had them load me feet first. I could never, ever get into one of those skinny ones headfirst.
There are several models that are more open, square and round.

drugs and butter :rotf3: nah i need a relaxed fit model....

shop around, find an office that has one, verify your insurance covers them, and book it

MRI's rarely find anything useful in my experience... waste of time imho

everything is related to environmental situations or diet " i " think.

Open MRI in Warwick has one, nice'n comfy

Clammer lovemaking tip 548 :happy:

I've literally broken half the bones in my body.

I kinda find MRIs and CAT scans quite soothing.That's just me I guess.

They gave me a valium and put "Dark side of the moon" on. I didnt wanna get out.

I hope I never have to do that .. I have a problem in crowded elevators.. Feel like everyones breathing all the air ,,I start getting head rushes .. just stay calm ,,quietly think about killing everyone ..

I've had a few MRIs and CAT scans in my time but I still don't feel comfortable there. I was never offered music, but I had never been in for more than 10 min or so. Thankfully I'm not very big and don't get claustrophobic. I think I can thank my older brother for constantly locking me in small spaces when I was younger and clearing me of any claustrophobia.
