slo's Tuesday poll - MRIs

[slo]

Have you had an MRI before?
If so, how many?




I'm going for an MRI today on both of my knees.
This is not my first MRI though - I also had one on my neck last May





Poll coming!!!

I have not had any MRIs.

 

[helenabear]

Never had one. I've even only had a handful of x-rays in my life as well... guess they don't need to look at much on me

 

[Savsmommy]

Never had one.

 

[Tazicket]

I've had one. It was after I was rear ended in high school and it messed up my neck. It was an open MRI, which is cool, but since I'm so claustrophobic they still had to give me valium. Consequently, I don't remember a whole lot about the experience...

But, good luck on yours today.

I've had 1 on my knee. I thought it was relaxing, then again my head wasn't in the machine.

 

[helenabear]

Oh I totally forgot to say, good luck with the MRI! I hope they dont' find anything too serious

 

[blue_river]

I had one on my liver and started to panic when they injected me with the dye.

 

[wdw4life]

Zilch.

 

[Hedy]

Two MRI's (oh, the joy of inheriting my father's medical history-anything's a suspect tumor): once for back issues in high schol, where the microphone broke, and last sept, on my head.

 

[MrsJackSparrow]

Had one on my spine a couple years ago. Enjoy the relentless machine noise today! Hope your knees are good!

 

[slo]

Thanks to all those that wished me good luck today

I have something really weird to say about MRIs...........

I really enjoy them - they are so relaxing.
I just close my eyes, and drift off into my own thoughts
The best, for me, was when I was totally enclosed to have my neck done. I was so relaxed then, that I almost dozed off.

 

[Bob Slydell]

0 for me

DW, on the other hand, has a Frequent MRI card

 

[highland3]

None for me!

I'm glad to hear your experience was... calming. Here's hoping for good results (I have to admit I didn't read about your MRI until after the fact). DW has lots of knee problems, and they have never mentioned an MRI... just xrays and bone scans.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Three, and my fourth - ie yearly - is coming up this month. I can't say I find them relaxing. I guess it depends why you're having it and how nervous you get in an enclosed tube.

Ive had 3 MRIs of the brain after my stroke. Probably gonna have another one here in a few weeks as I had a seizure here recently.
