Oh Deb. So sorry to hear about your flare. I don't have any problems with an MRI machine. I find the repetitive noises soothing, and have sometimes fallen asleep tot them.

I like listening to music. They'll put on my fav radio station for me. Don't know if they'd do a CD?

Another option I've read some ppl won't do without is asking your doc for a sedative.

I feel like a child that wants to throw a temper tantrum. I want this stupid disease to leave me alone! I dont want an MRI. I dont want steroids. I dont want to travel to see them at the big hospital. I dont want any of this. I just want to climb on deck a cruise ship and take a med cruise!

I dont want to lose any more vision. This disease is just robbing me!

So, lets hear it. Give me your best tips on surviving the MRI monster. I really hate that machine. I will be sure to use my mask to cover my eyes, and get ativan at the very least. So, hit me. tell me your best strategy.

I dont wanna go! They will call me tomorrow with the date/time. Waaaaaa, Waaaaa
