MRI

So this morning I had my lovely MRI. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of an MRI let me try to explain it to you. First you lay down in your back and have a shield placed over your head then your sucked up at about a 30degree tilt into a machine where you can't even lay your arms flat because the tube is their. When you open your eyes theirs about 6inches between you and the machine. Then it begins. It's loud think about the noise level you hear when a jet flys low over you and then banging knock knock knock fast! You start to wonder is this normal then the shaking vigorously you feel it all then quiet and you think it's over.... Then the process begins again then your slide out and injected with something and put back in the machine and the cycle begins again! This whole process for me atleast took 45mins. I have started to get used to it. But the first cycle. The shaking got me freaked for a minute then I calmed down and was ok. I honestly almost feel asleep. During my MRI six months ago I did fall asleep. I am sure this won't be my last MRI. I also received my MRI on disk from six months ago! It will be in the mail tomorrow to my new dr and he will then look at both MRIs and then call me to discuss them so looks like I won't have to wait till feb to hear about it! I was also told I could take more of my nerve meds if need be. I currently take 100mg 3 times a day but I can't take up to 18 pills a day so now I'm gonna take 200mg 3 times a day and see if it's any better. The meds help some. They take the edge off but after 3 hours it's just as bad as ever so hopefully since I can't take a lot more I can see what works best for me. So this is my blog update. I guess my next update will be when I hear what my new MRI shows Oh and since I started trying to walk and lose wright I've lost 6lbs! Go me!
