Hi Chrisy,

Congratulations on graduating DM1 and onto the extended trial. It sounds so promising and offers so much hope to the rest of us.

Regarding the Brain MRI - I am right with you on that after the latest findings. I just had my MRI last month. I go every 6-months so far. I wish you all of the best and NED.

Just in case you get someone like I did for your brain MRI: I went for my brain MRI and I was crazy nervous. I made it through the test and upon leaving the tech looks at me and says "Are you dizzy? Are you sure your aren't dizzy???" Oh, my goodness - Imagine where my thoughts went. Anyway, I got the results stat and have since advised the other techs that they should find another way to see if someone was stable to walk after a brain MRI.

Good luck and good vibes coming your way!

Carolyn

Chris,

Do whatever it takes to get peace of mind - a brain MRI will give you that. Obviously, from reading your other posts there is absolutely nothing wrong with your noggin - a lot going on in there and it is all good!

I hate MRIs (claustrophobic) but have found that as long as I don't look at the small opening my body is being slid into I do okay. Be sure and share you results when you get them, we will be waiting to hear.

Thanks for your insightful posts and for being such a positive influence on this board.

Much love to you,

Just remember that when you whoosh in that MRI machine its only because there's nothing for it to bump into but brains!

As always, I think of you.
