Hi Everybody,

I wasn't sure if I should post this before or after. I am coming up to my first 6th month MRI after being diagnosed. My MRI is scheduled for September 17, 2009 and then I see the Neurosurgeon for results on September 29/09. I have been doing better since the diagnosis, but now I am starting to feel anxious again. My first MRI was in an open machine, this time, the machine will be closed. I am a little claustrophobic but I keep on telling myself that regardless, I have to go through with the test. I hope I listen to my own advice on that day. Steve sent me the calendar but I wasn't able to update any dates on it. Anyway, I will let you know after it's all done. Thank you all for being so supportive throughout these difficult months.
I certainly could not have done it without you.

Hi Vivian! It`s very normal to feel anxious on these occasions. I`ve always taken a xanax 2hrs. before going into my MRI machine. I`m happy to hear you are doing better since diognosis and hoping that it continues when you get past this MRI. Wishing you the best, Mickey W+W

Hi Vivian,

I calendared it for you. The important thing is to know what is going on, and that's what the MRI is for. I hope you get a great result.

Hi Vivian,

If you are claustrophobic you definitely need to ask for medication prior to the MRI. I cannot do them without, as I am claustrophobic also. Never new I was until having my first MRI. It seems now that I am 60% deaf on the AN side it is worse. Please save yourself any discomfort and get some meds!

Good luck on your outcome, we'll be anxious to find out your results.

I hope your MRI is uneventful, that you're able to secure some form of medication to help you through it and that the result shows 'stability', a Watch-and-Wait patient's best friend.
