My MRI claustrophobia issues; BEATEN! Login/Join 
The Constable
posted
I've been having stroke like issues since August; weak left side, issue walking as my left leg is slow to react, etc. Did an MRI six weeks back and I barely held it together. Foun d out I have something growing on the right side of my brain.

Had to do another MRI today but took an Ativan and the tech put a cloth over my eyes. Zero stress, worked great!

Now to find out exactly WHAT is growing and remove it or kill it so I can get back to normal

At least the stress isgone from the MRI!

"Remove it or kill it", either is my wish for you.
I have to be sedated to have an MRI. I feel you, man.
Prayers sent.

Best wishes to The Constable.
Glad you have found a way to deal w/ the MRI.
My one time was quite nerve racking, as I probably needn't explain.

We're here for further updates or general gripes about the whole process. Hoping for good news.

Prayers for a cure. We've got some pretty talented Docs here in Montana. They love the fishing and the hunting. They'll get it.

You're in my prayers, too. I understand the MRI thing. I can't do them any more, because I have a pacemaker and stainless wires around my sternum.
