June 8th.
I can already hear the click click click! (I'm totally ok with the MRI machine btw. I fell asleep the last time I was in it. The only part I disliked was the contrast injection. No thanks!) Still no word on my Provincial funding (ie: if they will) for Sativex. Unfortunate, because I've been in a lot of pain the last week.

And as you get closer the click, click, click will get louder and then soon you'll heard the thud, thud, thud... I'm sorry you have been in so much pain.

we should take up a dontion for your mouth spray to see if this stuff works, and then petition the insurance comapnies to include it in the formulary.
I wanna try some of that stuff.

Do you have a reaction to the dye? Just wondering because I've never had any type of negative reaction to it. It's just like when I have blood drawn.....I hardly feel it and never even really know I've been given anything. Just wondering if others have negative reactions to dye.

I have never had a problem with the dye -- however, they now have to poke me several times to find a vein. I just started having a problem with veins when I was dx.
I have a MRI scheduled for Tuesday in the morning and a appointment with my neuro in the afternoon. He should have the results already. I am nervous this time since he told me he wanted me to consider nonantrone a few weeks ago. |

The room is so cold, and my veins are so horrible, I have them set an IV line before hand. That way they are not playing poke me for 20 minutes and not able to find a vein. I hate being strapped to the table while they play hide and seek with veins. its painful to keep hunting.
I am not a happy MRI person...I panic the whole time. I hate being strapped down.

I don't mind the whole MRI thing but the worst bit about mine was being told I couldn't/shouldn't swallow for the next few minutes. I had been nodding off, then the voice came over and said 'ok, don't swallow now until I say...'.
Well do you think that helped my 'not to swallow' state of mind???!! I think I had to swallow every 10 seconds AFTER she said Not to! |

My last MRI they noted some "Brain shrinkage".
The radiologist wrote "moderate Brain shrinkage noted but appropriate for age and medical condition". jackD . .

Kitty, I don't have a reaction to the dye, it's just the idea of having another needle poked in my body.
 Of course I don't care for the 'warm' feeling that goes through that side either when they do the injection.
