The most uncomfortable was the base of my back. Your friends should not have said anything until after you had the test done. 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.
