Re: MRI Hell
Hey, Msleslie, good hearing from you again, despite the reason! You look good.
So what do THEY suggest doing to make this experience better for you? Can they administer a different agent for contrast? Can you receive antiemetic (anti nausea) meds ahead of time?
Request that a skilled technician be available even before they start sticking you.
Maybe you could ask about taking a mild tranquilizer ahead of time because you might be a tad anxious going into it! I know I would be!
I hope you can get a better experience lined up. Let us know. And keep the faith.
