Legzz...sheesh, do you glow from so many MRIs? I haven't had one in 15 mos.

(((Dej)))...you have had a rough patch lady!! rant away!!

As soon as I lay down on the thingie before they roll me into the machine, I close my eyes and don't open them again until they tell me to sit up. I wear the earplugs they give me, and I count my breaths, in a group of 10. It distracts me and helps me focus on breathing so that I don't hyperventilate. I don't take tranquilizers because I have to drive myself to and from the facility.
Occasionally I find myself beginning to panic. Then I start praying...like just prayers of gratitude, stuff that will keep my mind in a positive frame.

I hope you do well, and that your doc can give you some relief!!
