I haven't had an MRI since....2012 (or was it 2011?) and that wasn't for an MS thing. They were looking at my back, but not for an MS thing. Before that, my last MRI's were in 2006.

I'm claustrophobic. They have to do some serious convincing to get me to crawl into another MRI machine willingly.

We already know I have MS, and my neuro is old enough to know where I probably have a lesion based on a specific symptom. He doesn't really need an MRI to confirm it. Which is a good thing, because my insurance has been really bad for the past year or so. (astronomically high deductibles). Thankfully, I'm changing my insurance monday. If a doctor insists on an MRI, and pretty much holds me at gunpoint to make me lay still long enough for one. I probably won't end up paying as much for it.
