Leaving town after 2 hrs in MRI tube at UCSF. I was scheduled for three but they said I did real well holding still finished everything in two hours. We decided to head north over the Golden Gate Bridge before heading home. Will get all results of MRI's and nerve conduction tests next week.

Good job! The last MRI'S that I had lasted for hours too! Brain, neck and spine - with and without contrast - UGH!

Glad your MRI went well CalfeeChick ! Hopefully you will get answers.

Your photo brings back memories for me because I grew up in the Bay Area. One of my favorite things to do was to go across the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito for the day. Last time I took this drive was a couple of years ago when I was visiting family.

CalfeeChick Awesome job on the MRI! I hate those things 😠 😅 l have to have one next month sometime.

Love the pic, bring back memories, used to live in Alameda. And go to SF and cross the bridge to go to black beach? I think that's what's it's called. Im not sure. But a base used to be there now it's a museum? Anyway 😅😅😅

Living over in Lodi, we have a choice of routes home. We enjoy going over the bridge that way because the Marin Headlands are so green and beautiful.

Calfeechick, it's Fancy1959. Glad you're MRIs are finished I will pray for good results for you . I drive the technicians crazy when I have to do I have to do MRIs or CAT Scans. I don't care how well I have slept the night before, I always fall to sleep from the vibration and rumbling while I am in the tubes. They are always wiggling my feet or yelling in my ears to get me to wake up. It's actually quite comical and I always warn them in advance and apologize that I will fall asleep no matter how hard I try to stay awake. i blame it on the exhaustion and fatigue that most of us battling MS deal with on a daily basis!😴😌😊

I think I must've dozed off a little too! It was supposed to take three hours and took just over two, I barely remember them pulling me out of the tube to give me the contrast dye. Every time I heard noises, I just told myself to think about my vacation in Maui
