I have had somewhere around 8-10 since my dx. I didn't mind them until I had a 2.5 hour brain & spine with & w/out contrast, 4/2013. I was overcome with anxiety. I just felt claustrophobic & wanted to get out. A few weeks later my MS NURSE & talked about it. (I use to fall asleep in the MRI machine) I now need to take 3 Xanax prior. Apparently it's not unusual to get that way after several and/or long ones. My last 3 MRIs have been stable, no new lesions, etc. I hope it stays that way.

Looking forward to hearing some good results for you!

I used to feel a tad anxious about MRI's but slow, deep breathing I learned with "Lamaze" a long time ago has forever helped me to be able to relax, even in the dentist chair.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
