Title: Finally getting MRI...
Post by: b28 on December 26, 2011, 10:54:12 pm
Well people, my health insurance finally kicked in and I'm getting my MRI tomorrow that I've been waiting for over a month past when my doctor wanted it done.  It seems like it's been longer than that b/c I've been so worried and my doctor didn't want me to wait any longer than ten days after my appointment which was Nov. 15th.   I've been so worried but now that it's actually happening it's kind of like a whole new set of feelings. Part of me really thinks I have an AN and try to prepare myself for the news but I then I also try to tell my self it's probably not and just try to stay level headed. I just really wonder sometimes b/c I have so many of the symptoms and go through alot of the exact same experiences and feelings of some of you guys. It's like "oh my gosh, that is exactly how I feel or that is exactly what happens to me" , things that other people don't understand. Well, wish me luck.

I wish you an MRI session that is uneventful and produces a report that rules out an acoustic neuroma as the cause of your symptoms.  However, should the MRI show an acoustic neuroma is present, we'll be here to support you in whatever way we can.  Good luck!  :)

Thank you Jim and Susan. Unfortunately it unexpectedly got moved back a week b/c my doc's office hadn't completed the preauthorization yet. It was a big let down.

Aargh - how frustrating! Better to change the date than to have deal with bills because it wasn't properly authorized though - MRIs are pricey!
