Sorry I must have missed your previous posts, why are you getting an MRI? When you said it went well does that mean it was clean or that you made it through the experience? I know they can be very claustrophobic!

Neurologist didn't say what he was looking for, just that my symptoms merited a peek inside my head.

Have an EEG in a couple of weeks. Am hoping that I get some answers after that.

Though you're right, when that clanging starts, you can't hear anything else. They were also very nice, let me go in feet first. Though I couldn't help noticing that they were sucking me in a little at a time.

Great to hear that you managed just fine. I always told myself that most things are worse...

I'm really glad you did well...

I just always tell myself that the procedure will give my doc much-needed info, and that keeps me calm. Oh, and the earphones sure help too.

But I was getting pretty damn close to panic until I figured out to keep my eyes shut.
