I spoke to the nurse at my doctor's office today, and she has already put in the call to my insurance to get another approval for me to have an MRI done at a facility that has the open tube machine. She is also getting the approval for me to be knocked out during the whole thing, since I told her that that was the only way that the technicians would be able to get me into either type of machine. Since the first try, just the thought of being in one of those tubes sends me into a major panic attack! So hopefully we will be able to try again soon to get this over and done with. Thank you for supporting me and encouraging me through this, my wonderful friends. I don't think I could make it through it without all of you. Hugs!

Just a quick one to you as I'm about to call it a night here...kind of late. Hehe...so you're going to be knocked out during your MRI..hey don't blame you..either the traditional closed MRI or open I wouldn't want to go through one either...so I'd probably need to be knocked out with meds as well if I ever had one...either that or just take slugs ofa few good stiff drinks..LOL--bloody marys anyone? Screwdrivers? Hehee

Now that sounds a whole lot better. Don't you wonder how football players fit into those things, or don't they? Everything will be alright. If you don't mind being knocked out and they don't need you to be awake, then that is the way to go...Stay positive and I will be here if you need me.. Let us know when this next one is....

Thats great! Nice to know you have somebody working to help... makes a lot of difference in how you feel!! I have to have my eyes covered in there, and I sing songs in my head to make the time pass!!
I really think that a full-body MRI should be a part of a person's physical! It would eliminate so many other tests and show all problem areas, so time could be spent fixing whatever is found!

Thank you so much hon. I wish I could go with another insurance company, but I am on the insurance my husband receives through his work. So I'm stuck there. But hopefully we can find a better clinic that has the machine I need. I think my insurance will approve it faster because my nurse put in for emergency coverage as I am having a hard time walking. I will let you know what happens.
