I'm in a research MRI study with about 50 other people at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit the MRI is the same as any other MRI it's just the computer is different it takes thinner images of the brain.Project title is Analysis of brain structural changes in different stages of Multiple Sclerosis. I was a litttle nervous as this was my first closed MRI my neuro(by the way I just love her she's great)she said do you want a little pill to make sleepy and I said ok and took one. I had to go see her first to sign consent forms,and then went to the basement for my MRI everything went fine it didn't bother really at all,I even opened my eyes a couple of times and after about 1 hour it was over.I don't go back for another research MRI until next year and then the studies over. Maybe there be able to find something else out about how MS affects the brain. Take care everybody.
