Default FYI: MRIs are Extremely Loud

Just in case you didn't know this already, as i didn't, MRIs are EXTREMELY loud. They are mandated to give you ear plugs, but even with the plugs the noise is extremely unpleasant. This could be an issue if you have sound sensitivity, as I do. I had one done today and was too dizzy to walk for almost half an hour afterward; then I got really tired and foggy. Fortunately, I had also scheduled a massage for a few hours later, and that seemed to help me settle down a bit. So if you need to schedule an MRE and are sound sensitive, it would be a good idea to plan on arranging for someone else to drive you home, and plan a lot of quiet time after your MRI...maybe even schedule a massage, as I did (luckily).
