Beloved ms family. All well and excited about the new day? I am wondering about a new desk so I have more room for my gym, I like the desk I have just a few inches (Centimeters) smaller is all I need. Ahh another problem to think about, what I need is a bigger house.
The important stuff. As "YOU" can tell I survived yesterday,s tube visit. I am quite surprised that the place was a curvy maze. No straight corridors. It went much faster than I thought, only about an hour. It was okay until they put in the gadolinium, I HATE NEEDLES. I warned the tech beforehand and she did her best. It is supposed to be cold, but I could not tell. No side effects nothing. I only took one Valium 5mg so maybe I was just numb. It did feel like it was spinning, but as I looked beforehand I suppose it was just a false sensation.
one hour in the tube and it was no problem, until next year I think. Valium beforehand, a nice sleep afterwards and a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is nothing to be scared of. I think it was loud but I could not really tell. A 3t (Tesla machine is what "YOU" want much higher and "YOU" have to go to bi teaching hospitals. Like most of our life with Relapsing-Remitting ms (RRms), there is little to be truly scared of. Most everything "YOU" will adjust to, given time.
At first "YOU" might be scared and fearful, there is no need for that. "YOU" will given time ,learn to live with this illness and end up having a purposeful life.

anything that ms takes you can learn to live with, give yourself time to learn and believe in yourself
So happy that you escaped unscathed and prepared to do it again next year, Royce (Sorry for being overly dramatic but I am being a bit goofy) 😜 I, on the other hand, enjoy my visits to the mri machine, and look forward to it.
really? carolek572 Why is that?
Because I usually fall asleep when I am in the mri machine. I know, sandydemop1 , I am weird!
I see some people find it relaxing. I couldn't with all that banging but it definitely goes easier if you sleep through it.
I have trouble staying still because I want to dance to the beats, sandydemop1
So do I. I start singing my favorite hymn, Amazing Grace, in my head & the next thing I know the bed starts moving & I can hear the tech talking to me.
That is an excellent song to sing, hairbrain4
I usually sing anything *N*S*Y*N*C* related, but I love your song better!
😉
🤗
I usually pray when I'm in there. pray for it to go well and be over.
I guess that is always an option
That is a great time to do that, sandydemop1
