It will be worse if you are afraid, so calm down, and do this test knowing it may give you answers you have been looking for.
I had 2 MRI's also. I have panic attacks, and I even managed to do the MRI's without Xanax. MRI's are not painful at all, they are very loud.
You can do this!!!  |
Thanks Deb. One of the top neurologist at the teaching hospital that I will be going to will be doing the test, but I am still nervous. I keep telling myself that this may give the doctors some good information on my neuropathy, so, I will get through it somehow. Everyone sure is different though. I have read everything on the net from it hurt like hell, to it wasn't as bad as I thought.
