Thanks beaglelover! I think I'll do just fine. I don't need another thing to worry about.

Tina,

I had an MRI a few years ago because of my migraines. It really isn't too bad at all. I was very nervous especially since I was going to a Spanish place to have it done. Once in there I thought this isn't bad and I opened my eyes. I had to close them again immediately. With my eyes closed I wasn't bothered at all.

Don't worry, you will be fine. I'll be thinking about you on Sat.

Just want to say that I hope they get to the bottom of this lack of sleep you are experiencing.

I've had a ton of MRI's done. I have a cranial cyst (next to my pituitary gland, in my brain), which for a while, needed to be checked every 6 months, and then yearly. Now, since no change has been noted, I only need it checked if I notice any problems.

MRI's are a piece of cake. They'll probably tell you not to wear any makeup or put any styling agents into your hair, so you get to look "un-made", but they try to keep you as comfortable as possible. Just close your eyes and listen to your music... a lot of places allow you to bring your own cd's.

The machine itself can get pretty loud and even sound kind of crazy at times... just try to ignore it.

I'm sure you'll do just fine. Keep us posted on what they tell you!!!

Thanks Shelby. Wow, what an experience!

I will find out if I am claustphobic tomorrow!
