Hi, Melody... For some reason, magnets affect me in a crazy way. I had a filling on a top and bottom molar, the magnets of the MRI polarized them and caused them to get extremely hot. After 5 minutes, my mouth was pried open due to the poloarization, then the bottom one sort of exploded while the upper, cracked. I went to a specialist to have the amalgum carefully removed and the teeth repaired with ceramic. This dentist confirmed that he has read case reports of this, but that is has rarely happened.

I mentioned this to show I do react to most things differently than expected as well as to tip off anyone who had insight on mercury poisoning and b12. I could have been poisoned during this episode or during the wait while these teeth were repaired. The gum around the teeth became inflamed and painful.

It was a crazy situation and one for the record books. Give me something simple (like laying in an MRI machine) and I'll mess it up every time...lol...
