Hi Guy's

It's Dave, I'm going for an MRI (closed) tomorrow. I am verrrrrrry, very, Claustrophobic (sp)

And I can't be in a position for a long time as of most of us. My Neurologist ordered me 20 mg's of Valium for me to have the MRI. Another 12 mg's before I get to the MRI center.

Plus the 20 thier going to give me. Take care guy's. All whose having an MRI good luck!!!

Hello Carolin,

I have had two MRI's done so far in my life time and have only had

trouble with one of them. I am fine until they put the cage over my

face. My reaction to that was just a little trouble with breathing,

so if I have to have one like that one done again I will ask for

something. But I have this really strange event that goes on when I

have MRI's. Every time they go to take a picture my knee's start to

hope up and down just a little. This is due to my artifical knee's, I

guess this happenes to a lot of people with replaced joints. It is

quiet the weird feeling. One time I thought my left elbow was stuck

to the side of it. yes another replaced joint.

Hope your MRI goes smoothly,i know how tough it is to stay still while in pain,i suggest try your hardest though.I beleive mine took longer than it should have because i was restless.My mothers claustrophobic,one vacation we went on cave tour in the Dakotas well she had to be escorted back when the walls closed in,take care bud. d.Canada Re: Peaceful MRI's
