But then, what you experienced is NOT funny one bit. You poor thing.
I thought I was the only one that had some kind of dental reaction while I was put in an MRI. They were doing some kind of scan of my neck (long long time ago, so not sure).
But I will never forget what happened when they tried to slide me into the machine. This was NOT my first time in an MRI. Years before I had a lower back MRI done to confirm that I had degenerative joint disease.
So on this particular occasion, they slid me in and I felt my front tooth hurt (I have two front crowns). I started yelling "get me out of this, it's pulling my tooth"
They slide me out and and the tech guy said "That's impossible". I said 'oh, maybe it's me, I"m nervous, let's try again". Well, it happened again, I started screaming and they pulled me out and we did a Cat Scan instead.
I've never done another MRI.
My god, the stuff that happens.
Anyway, I'm glad you are still alive after all you went through.

Melody, This is remarkable!! You also have a magnetic personality..lol...No, not funny, but I tell it occationally to get a laugh. I checked with an orthodontist and 2 dental surgeons to check on the cometic dentist's first statement pertaining to magnetizing fillings. All confirmed. You were wise to have a CT instead. This experience caused me to have 28 dental appts...
I've had many MRIs since, none of which caused too much trouble, some heating up of the few tiny spots of metal left, but no explosions. I've been an artist all of my life with much paint, cobalt, lead exposure...could be another clue to my diffficulties.
Good to meet you. Do you have any other oddities with foods, meds, hearing?
I've pretty much stumped most docs for 35 yrs, all documented. The b12 deficiency answered some of the problems during the last 4 yrs.
