good one and they are so noisy ...bing bang ...

[Midgey_Midge06]

I love it! They are always amazed that i can stay so still for so long. Takes 45 mins off the time they estimate. Its like - dude. U have seen how many of these i have done right? Seriously

[CV97 in reply to Midgey_Midge06]

I show up with leggings and a no-metal bra. I'm going to be as comfortable as possible on that darn table so they only have to do it once and it goes as fast as possible. The last guy who did it commented that I must have done it a few times before. Yes indeed! I feel like I've reached MRI pro status.

[Midgey_Midge06 in reply to CV97]

For reals right? I wear leggings and a sports bra too!

[Kenu]

Last one I did was 3. and had music 🎶 headsets any station. Was a lot nicer than bang bang bang knock knock knock ding ding ding etc. Went lot quicker 👍🤪 Ken 🐾🐾🐾

[pamgarner in reply to Kenu]

when I was being diagnosed i had 13 of them in a month whooppee!

[bxrmom in reply to pamgarner]

WOW! That is a lot! I think I've had that many in the 14 years that I have been diagnosed with MS.

[pamgarner in reply to bxrmom]

yes they mri"d everything i own to figure out what was wrong with me,i was to 3 dr's,and you know they have to have their own mri! urrgghh

[cindyrn68 in reply to Kenu]

I’ve never had one with music but that’s probably a good thing. I’m a lifelong metalhead - no way I’m going to keep still with my music on!

[Doubled51]

I guess I’m lucky. I don’t hear a thing they put me on enough sedation to keep me still so they basically have to knock me out. I’m laying on that stinking hard board I hurt to bad to be still so just wake me up when it’s over.🤪😛🤣.

[pamgarner in reply to Doubled51]

they need to put a pillow under your knees that helps alot!

[bxrmom in reply to pamgarner]

They always do this when I get mine done.

[Doubled51 in reply to pamgarner]

They do but I still wiggle plus I’m terribly claustrophobic so they know to let me take a nap works better for all.

I’m able to be completely still for the entire MRI but my husband can get in one and go to sleep. I kid you not! I cannot do that. I have to have earplugs of course and the pillow under my knees. Maybe a blanket if it feels cool but I have never even come close to dozing off. Not even when they gave me Ativan ahead of the test. It was like eating m&m’s because it did absolutely nothing for me. I guess all the meds over the years, I have built up a tolerance? Didn’t phase me.

[Elizt3 in reply to Bwine]

i often fall asleep as well. it's crazy b/c it's so loud and uncomfortable, but i guess the banging lulls me to sleep after a while.

[CV97 in reply to Elizt3]

I count the rhythmic knocks, puts me to sleep every time. I usually wake myself up by snoring... After that, it's back to counting the cycles. It helps keep me focused and still.

[bxrmom in reply to CV97]

That's what I do too!

[Vinmack]

I left my wedding ring on. My mistake. 😉

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Vinmack]

Go in the T 360 and you won't have a hand, opps finger to worry about! 🤣🤣 🤗💕🌠

[bxrmom]

I have fallen asleep before and they had to redo a scan because my leg twitched. Now I try to not to fall asleep when I have an MRI. Ours does not have the music that everyone talks about.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to bxrmom]

Sometimes you don't want it!! Ours is horrible!! 🤣🤗💕🌠

[CrazyCatWom in reply to bxrmom]

When I fell asleep last time, I was getting the spinal scan. Tomorrow's a brain scan, so they'll force the cage over my head--that might keep me from sleeping. I do know my sciatic nerve starts hurting, and I get so stiff, I have a hard time sitting up when it's all over.

[Midgey_Midge06 in reply to CrazyCatWom]

I totally have a hard time getting up after too! It takes 2 people to get me up and then i have to stand for a min before i can walk

[CrazyCatWom]

Thanks! I'll need it tomorrow night when I go in for my anual brain MRI

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to CrazyCatWom]

Good luck with that and let us know how it goes!! 🤗💕🌠

[bxrmom in reply to CrazyCatWom]

Good luck tomorrow!

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador]

Wow, Jesmcd2 Can they tele-transport me to New Zealand? How cool would that be!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to carolek572]

Only if it takes me back to my planet 1st! I like it better there!!🤣🤣🤗💕🌠

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Jesmcd2]

That depends on the experience of the mri operator, correct? Did they get a passing grade in Geography? Important to know 😎

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to carolek572]

We are in trouble now! They only know how to say... Ok, now don't move... Maybe if you would sit still??? 🤣🤗💕🌠

[ekelks]

Always wanted one with music

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to ekelks]

Music is always given!! Ting ting bang bang hmmmmm clunk! 😁🤗💕🌠

[Boxofchocolates]

I need to go in for a brain & spine MRI soon and wondering if they will make me wear a face mask in the tube? Seems like that would feel awful to have that on in addition to the face "cage" and "stay still" commands!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Boxofchocolates]

Good question Boxofchocolates 🤔 I can't remember if I had to wear one when I was in the hospital. It was a blrr 🤣😔 Call and ask them? And ask for extra xanax!😁🤗💕🌠

I have no trouble sitting still for MRIs. I usually try to count the seconds between the scans to see how close I can get. It’s like playing a game. It sounds like when somebody pounding on my roof to have it reshingled. So I kind of pictured it that way. . I don’t take the enhancing medication because it’s really not necessary to have that getting into one brain and it can stay there for a long long time unless it’s really necessary And my neurologist agrees. The scan without medication shows enough to know if lesions are new or old.I haven’t had any active ones since I was diagnosed actually about 18 years ago. If anything changes and I probably would need to have a scan with the mri enhancing medication.
