It's Laurel. Haven't been much lately b/c of some neck issues---and actually being on the computer hurts my right arm like crazy! I am doing well overall (with anxiety)---but, yesterday I had to go for a Lumbar MRI-----and when I got in that thing----OMG!!!!!!!! I was kind of screamin' "get me out of here"! The nice Technician pulled me out---and turned me around so my feet went in first----and I could see behind me much better----but, OMG---the panic I had from that whole incident----just for a 15 minute test! I didn't take any Valium or anything beforehand------and am glad I didn't (b/c then I would have had to have someone drive me home)----but---wouldn't it be nice if MRIs could be less "right in your face" and still be accurate? (i have had an 'open MRI' before---and I guess, unless you are a heavy person, the results come back false-negative alot)! Anyhoo---I had such a headache after that panic--I went home and laid in bed for a while!
Take Care!
