Title: UPRIGHT MRI
Post by PJP123 on 03/31/15 at 16:55:58

I had an upright head MRI today, the kind that they put a cage on your head for 1/2 an hour instead of going in the tube. I'm super claustophobic so I took 1/2 a zyrtec and .25 mg. Xanax 1/2 hour before and had ear plugs and kept my eyes shut.

I didn't freak out. At first I thought my heart racing was going to be the end of me, but I calmed down and then I began making songs up to the beat of the machine LOL.

No results yet. I had it done because I feel like I have brain damage going on...don't know if it's mast cell related or MS or vascular ehler danlos.

Any word on the mri? I have my initial appointment with mayo in two hours. I'm really nervous.....hoping and praying it's not a neurological disorder.
