Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 n, Wow that seems extreme or is that just me? In England the chances of getting an MRI if the Dr doesn't think it's needed are about the same as winning the lottery. Barry Re: Update on Harry /reply#2 - feel free to delete! Barry, being the overprotective parent that I am (and my mother was), I think that I would want a thorough neurological evaluation, possibly with an MRI of the head, brain stem and back (even infants can be tranqualized for this), and a real assessment of the picture. I had not seen this post before when I wrote. I write from the view of a cf patient, the mother of one, and of my own experience as a neuropsychologist, although I do not currently practice. I hope you do not mind my meanderings--just thinking out loud. Feel free to delete! Love to you and Harry, n Rojas, wcf, mom of 3 adults, one with cf--all doing well at this time.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, I followed many of you alls' advice and I told the nurse who injected me that I got sick from it last time. She gave me a totally different contrast and no nausea. Every time I go for an MRI it seems like that tube gets smaller and smaller. And the " 8 minute series " feels more like 20. I was in there for 2 hours telling myself " almost done " over and over. Wished I had taken an ativan...but I'm done till I see my neuro on monday. I came home and took a nap, just still tired. Its shot night too so icky. I want to send a big " YEAH " to Akiba, what good news! I have no doubt that you will be found the parent with Robbins best interest.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Oh that's right.. you had both brain & spine at the same time... my last was just the spine.. so it wasn't 2 hours.. but seemed like it.. but then I don't lay flat on my back in a soft bed let alone a hard surface without having lower back pain... and I had tell the gals.. that I know I'm supposed to lay still.. but it ain't happenin' this time.. I had no choice.. anytime the nerves in my lower back get irritated.. my legs & feet develop a mind of their own.. think they have to dance and stuff... it didn't mess up the results though.. thank goodness.. wouldn't have wanted to do it all over again.. and this tube seemed small too.. I think it has something to do with them getting new equipment in smaller and smaller tubes.. maybe it makes them read better??? who knows.. Glad you came through it okay though.. I've never been given anything for tube entry.. but then I'm not the least bit claustrophobic.. and I could very well fall asleep.. if they'd just stop that infernal pounding..

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yes, I know what you mean. My hip is always very tender and its hard to stay put. The twitches don't make it easy either. The technician put a pillow under my knees, so that helped alot. Then I crossed my feet at the ankles to help keep those twitches away. This time when they were doing the neck series he asked that I not swallow. Have you ever heard of that? Its very hard not to swallow for that long...I had to a couple times, oops. Thanks for the support Donna. Jolie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yes, I know what you mean. My hip is always very tender and its hard to stay put. The twitches don't make it easy either. The technician put a pillow under my knees, so that helped alot. Then I crossed my feet at the ankles to help keep those twitches away. This time when they were doing the neck series he asked that I not swallow. Have you ever heard of that? Its very hard not to swallow for that long...I had to a couple times, oops. Thanks for the support Donna. Jolie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thats pretty much what I did, close my eyes and keep 'em that way. I guess I was meditating in a way too. I thought about good thoughts and fun memories. It got me through it anyway. Thanks Anne! Jolie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
