Tricia, I am also alot better now that I know about the mirror. I also will not let them cover my eyes. They also tell me how long each scan will take. I have had a problems with my hands going completely numb -- dead during the procedure. I think it is the "pillow" pressing on my neck. So I have discovered that as long as I have my lower arms/hands on chest and can wiggle them between scans I am ok. I no longer take anything prior to the test. that way i can drive myself. I typically find myself giving one of my class lectures in my head.
