Way to go Dej!!!! Bet you came out better than all those nurses who tried to stick you! That bad vein thing is the pitts.....me too. Also glad your MRI went okay, Keith. At least your docs know what's been going on inside your heads.

I didn't join in with the 'before' tips since having an MRI is one of the few things that don't seem to bother me. A blanket is a necessity and probably next time the knee block will be added, but I just keep my eyes closed until I'm in there and then gradually open them. It's kind of neat to look around as much as possible and the banging and clanging make it seem like I'm inside a video game. Guess I must be the weird one. One time I did have trouble with the GAD, it leaked out from the vein and the pain was horrible. Almost threw up in the tube but they got me out and after sitting up awhile, the yucky feeling went away. Usually I'm so relaxed that I almost fall asleep until the noise jolts me awake.

Guess having MS makes us a tough bunch -- have to be to get through each day. Good luck with your copax decision and congrats again for conquering the tube!!!!
