[QUOTE="busywend, post: 21495, member: 391"] I would say it is a pretty easy test to have done and confirm or deny some diagnosis' that require early knowledge of them. So, well worth any discomfort in my mind. I have had 3 in the last 4 months. First one was a breeze. The tech spoke to me in between each test, she asked if I was OK, waited for me to itch or move something if I needed to. Second test - well I was expecting the same as the first - however the tech did not even tell me he was starting. I just heard the banging noises and realized we had begun. I never got a chance to even itch or move or relax a muscle. I ended up passing out in there and had a migraine the rest of the day. Third test I reported the 2nd tech and made sure I did not have him. They treated me like a VIP with music and a parascope that allowed me to see the people in the room doing the testing. The best part of that was I could see the countdown reflected in the glass from the machine I was in. So, I knew exactly how much time I had left in each test. I was able to itch and move a bit between tests. Piece of cake. Lesson: Be sure you confirm with your tech that they will be speaking to you in between each test. I always knew I was the type that could get through any test if I knew what to expect. But, if what I expect does not happen...that is bad. As far as your anxiety about the results I say this: knowing is better than ignoring. I think you will not find a case of someone not knowing of a medical condition being better off. So, get the facts and get the help if it is needed. Stay strong and hopeful! [/QUOTE]
