Great news :) How are you feeling?

I have never had one done. I've seen many people do it. I'm sure it was quite anxiety producing. But look at you! You did it

Hi Adamj - I recently had an MRI and had the same thing happen, so it is not you. I know I have not replied to you before, but you should know I read your posts and appreciate them. You cannot know just how many people you are helping by your sharing. I hate to see you go, but wanted you to know you are appreciated.

Do you have the results yet? Very brave of you to get the MRI done. I would have been terrified. x

[Adamj in reply to b1b1b1]

Nope don’t have results yet sadly

Yes they can be a bit of a pain I had a skull and spinal one [with fluid] last month took me 90 mts, felt like a reject from a micro wave oven for a couple of days myself! Actually young fella asked me did I know about MRI's I said I'd been getting them before he was born! OOPS hurt his feelings? asked his age, 1997 I was right! Ironically machine broke down 'probably thinking it's that old bugger again?' They used to ask if a patient wanted to bring their own music cd along, now I am showing my age? I got my results nothing to get worried about? I have NF3 pretty regular check to see if any more schwannomas have shown up! Good luck with yours Adamj👍

Thank you just really freaked me out feeling myself heating up In there and it was only while it was on

[Adlon57 in reply to Adamj]

I had fluid through my system whilst the MRI was on, that's why it took 90 mts [a bit longer actually] so it took a couple of days for my system to rearrange itself!

Well done you 👍

Glad you had the MRI done and you made it through! Hope the results are positive (meaning nothing is going on). I've had several, some with and some without contrast, most recently lumbar spine where surgery will be in 2 weeks. It can be scary. There are open MRI'S for those who get really claustrophobic. Wishing you good results! Keep us posted when you find out.
