Honestly, after my post-concussion experience, I'm more afraid of side effects of the MRI than anything else. This may be irrational, but I feel as though being in a tube surrounded by powerful magnetic forces for 30-40 mins probably isn't the best thing for your brain + body. Plus, there are websites where people have posted about various side effects of MRIs (although the medical community says that there are no known side effects). On the other hand, getting one done makes sense insofar as it would rule out other problems.

I guess I'll sleep on it for now.
