[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 21469, member: 1514"] Im one who cannot do the MRI. Simply cannot. Im way too claustrophobic to manage it. I thought I had overcome my fear of the machine when they invented open mri machines and I managed to have one done on my knee without a problem. Then they wanted to send me to have one done on my head, neck and spine. Ohhhh heck no! I went in there all prepared to do just fine. I took a driver with me, 3 mgs of ativan, and I hopped up on the table. I was sure I would be fine. All was ok until they strapped my head into that contraption and the machine started to lower and it got close to my stomach. Do remember I am a very large woman! I started to panic and screamed at them that I had to pee and they had to let me up. I never went back in that room again. There was no amount of sedation getting me back on that table unless they knocked me completely out with versed. I told my doctor that I couldnt imagine anything that a MRI would show that I was willing to go thru that for. Nope...not me. Never. [/QUOTE]
