Can you take an extra meds before the MRI to make it easier to tolerate??? Muscle relaxant or Xanax or something???

OH.....and they had to prop open my jaw (that HAD been happily locked closed for a few months) with some plastic torture devise for 30 minutes during some of the scans. I thought THAT was bad (MAN those things are loud). I actually tried to just "trip out" on the noise.....trying to imagine that it was pleasurable instead of torturous. I know this isn't directly applicable, I'm just trying to relate and offer support!!!
I'm so sorry you have to have the EMG done double duty this time. It SOUNDS miserable......I don't want one......no one has suggested I need one yet (thank you, thank you.....). Ok.....I'm 0 for 2 here......(Mom is trying.....can I bake you some cookies or something???).
Well.....I guess I haven't offered a BIT of helpful information here.....sorry.....hey!!.....you don't look a day over 40!!!
It's not February yet!!!

Hey Bro,
Mom's right. Do some heavy chill drugs and the MRI will be over before you know it! I can't even count how many MRI's I've had, but I just pop a couple "medicinal" valiums
nod off to the cool tunes they play thru the head phones and I am off to la la land. Caught a few zzzzzz's during last MRI, the tech had to wake me up when it was over and I am claustaphobic!
If it is still way too heavy, derail your docs plans (they are all a bunch of over-paid jerks anyway), go to an "open" MRI facility, ride the valium train and ask the babe receptionist to hold your hand
Never fails!
EMG's? No worries. I've had 4 now. Use the extra valium you didn't use for the MRI, lie down on the table with your Ipod and chill, like it was a major accupuncture session...
Mom knows best!
