And the MRI - you gotta get thru it or just go back and do again - xanax will help - and MUSIC will help - call and get a machine where you can bring a CD they can play your own music for you on the headphones you wear anyway to kinda block the sounds of the machine..... (yes, you can listen to these during a brain scan too - I've had at least four - all accompanied by my favorite musicians).... also, ask the tech to talk to you during the procedure between scans and let you know how long each set will be - some do and some dont if you dont ask ahead of time.... helps you see a light at the end of the tunnel!


Hope the tests are helpful
