Thats the funny part. I am terribly relieved that my MRI show no disease progression, and my glioma is stable, but....then...what is causing my recent headaches, anxiety, symptoms,and BS??? I LOVE that the test was clear, but...want answers! does that make sense?

They used a new special light to show hidden veins and tada! there wasa bigone.She plantedtheIV in one shot.

Gave my oral pills to stick under my tongue. I only knew my tongue tasted funny. no change in anxiety. Walked to the MRI room, and thesupervisor shook my hand. I started to cry! He saw I was struggling for words, and said "dont worry about it. while in flair half the patients go to anxiety,andhalf go to depression. I count my blessings. We woudl simply wait for Emily to come back with fun drugs. She came back and offered me my choice. I was in the tube about 12 minutes when they pulled me forward. Said they needed to examine me. Took my temp, and felt my skin. I asked why. She said I was shivering! it was either nerves, or was room temp. Since my skin was pale and dry, it must be nerves, and she hitme again. BooM! Versed, and phentyol, and phererghan! woo a trifecta. I was kept extremely comfortable during the whole ride, adn didntfeelike I wasted anyones time.

SO, thats my story will know anwers ina few day.
Dej, I'm so darn happy for you! I've heard about the vein finder thing. It sounds like a medical miracle.

I want to go where you go and get all the drugs they gave you for my next MRI. Really though, I'm one of the fortunate ones. They can usually find a vein, and MRI's don't bother me much. I just take two Klonopin about an hour before, and they calm me down and smooth me out.
