MRI

So had my c spine and lumbar MRI this eve, what an experience! Not good, afterwards was chatting to the 2 who performed it and said they didn't see anything urgent so waiti to hear from my docs so hopefully fingers crossed that's a good thing? Keep going over the convo in my head it's stressing me out already :/

You were brave you'd not get me on a MRI, bang bang bang bang !! Narr ta.

It's over at least, nothing urgent. Well some good news. Try not to get yourself to wound up until you see yr doc.

Done well lad

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Cheers mate yeh it was bang bang lol thought it was falling bro pieces lol

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Bollocks to that !!! I'm a pussy when it comes to hospitals. I shake like a jelly. It's all doom.

Did they say anything about when you'd hear frontend doc ?.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

No said results can take up to a week, I said I'd booked a follow up on the 8th of may and she said oh that's fine then

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Your doc will tell you more. At least it's over no more drama.

You sleep tonight. Early night. Have you been winding yourself up over it ?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It's been on my mind yeh mate, just thinking what if they see somethin, but they seemed nice after and was a bit assuring that she said they didn't see anything urgent, and yeh in bed already

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

If anything major was there you'd know they don't hide anything from anyone. Probably something there but nothing major or to give you serious worry. Will be a case of keeping an eye on things as the years go by.

I think you've done well considering your nerves are bad at the minute.

Good for you bud should give you a bit more confidence in your health.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Cheers mate

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

You're​ welcome bud, go chill out

Hello, and congrats on the completing the MRI.

I live in the States,where the MRI techs are not to comment on what they see. So, it sounds like the techs were sensed your concern, and let you in on what they saw during the MRI study.

I'm just used to a selection of music being piped in while the MRI tunes itself to my body....and having a wash cloth over my eyes so I don't get claustrophobic.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I was ok when in and had the music on, they did keep checking I was ok which was nice :), yeh I'd read that over there they ain't allowed to say anything so that's a little bit of assurance what they said today hope you are well

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, am doing ok today in spite of the humid hot weather that is already here. My service dog enjoys the morning "mission" walks we take to buy something from the grocery, pet shop, shoe repair shop, etc.

But I have to get up earlier and earlier to get back home with him before it's too hot.

As summer really hits in June or July, I believe we'll be up walking around 2:00 a.m. LOL

Take care.

[Hidden in reply to sweetiepye]

[sweetiepye in reply to Hidden]

Probably not.

[Hidden in reply to sweetiepye]

P---- ?

Just say it woman !!

[sweetiepye in reply to Hidden]

I have no problem saying any word , I want to know if I'll be restricted again.

[Hidden in reply to sweetiepye]

What is the word associated with a genital area ?. Male ? Female ?.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Private message me and tell me !! I can't bare the suspense.

Hi, oh I thought your mri was tomorrow! I bet your glad it's over with! They said the same to me when I had my CT scan nothing serious and will pass my results to my doc's! Hope your doing bit better now that your off the meds! I'm off them too!

[Hidden in reply to kazza1-1-1]

I don't think he is off his meds, if I'm correct his doctor actually increased his dosage..

So you've come off your meds, congrats !! The drug free way

Although they have there place !

[kazza1-1-1 in reply to Hidden]

Hi, yeah I'm off the meds hopefully my chiropractor is able to help me with all my medical problems he thinks they're all related so I shall see! Those meds were making me have dry mouth syndrome so don't fancy going back on them! How's you?

[Hidden in reply to kazza1-1-1]

I'm good thank you for asking. Are you taking pain relief at all then ?.

Chiropractors are good I love watching on YouTube. It's amazing what they can do.

[kazza1-1-1 in reply to Hidden]

Glad your doing okay! I take Ibuprofen and paracetamol if I have headache or aches and pains but I've tried not to even take those! I hate taking tablets and those antriptyline so give me a dry mouth so i'm hoping that the doctor doesn't try and put me back on them! The chiropractor seems really good in what he does I am hoping that he can fix me hehe! I'm still taking vitamins b,d and cod liver oil and magnesium - are you still taking magnesium?

[Hidden in reply to kazza1-1-1]

All sounds Good. Oh yes Magnesium is a must for everyone, ill or healthy.

Is it pricey to see the chiropractor ?

[kazza1-1-1 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah its quite pricey but hopefully worth every penny! The magnesium i'm taking oxide - is that no good? I was going to get glycinate but that's really pricey but I rather have the best to get the best results! have you taking the oxide one? whats the difference between them?

[Hidden in reply to kazza1-1-1]

Oxide is cheap because it's crap and a waste of money. Glycinate Is only £6 from iHerb in the US, comes quick enough.

Only Magnesium glycinate works best for anxiety and depression with no side effects because the Magnesium is attached to an amino acid called glycine which is real good.

You get what you pay for !!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

What's the 1 we take mate?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

We take glycinate, which is Magnesium bonded ( chelated ) to glycine. Brand wise it's Dr's Best chelated Magnesium glycinate.

[kazza1-1-1 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah that's true, so are these a waste a time that I'm taking? They tend to make me sleepy so only take 250mg instead of 500 at night. I had a look on amazon for the glycinate and they were quite pricey, I shall have a look at that IHerb one tho!

[Hidden in reply to kazza1-1-1]

Oxide will make you sleepy and that is all because Magnesium works by first making you relaxed, then it turns to relaxed but energetic not sluggish. But, if you have low absorption with low quality you get stuck at the sleepy stage and don't hit the energetic stage. Oxide is what is generally in ZMA of low quality. In decent brands it's aspartate. Any Magnesium that ends in ( ate ) Is good.

[kazza1-1-1 in reply to Hidden]

Does Oxide also make you go to toilet more? as in loosen of stools (sorry) but I feel that its irritating my stomach - could that be because of that? I'm defo going to try the Glycinate one as sounds much better!

[Hidden in reply to kazza1-1-1]

Yeah deffo make you goto the loo. So will Magnesium citrate as citric acid draws water into the intestines. Glycinate doesn't do that at all. However glycine can irrate the stomach a bit but you just stop for a couple of days and go transdermal to get your Magnesium, then go back to glycinate and all is good.

I would really not bother with the oxide, it really is bad !!.

Glycinate doesn't give you loose stools.

[kazza1-1-1 in reply to Hidden]

Well I took one as not sleeping great since coming off meds but I will defo have look for gly mag and give that try! Thanks for the top magnesium tips

[jessiejakes]

That sounds very promising hope this has made you feel better.
