5 which is a lot better than earlier. I hit 10 today and had a hard time coming down because I did too much. that's when those silly thoughts enter my head anytime I hit 8 or above

Thank you mike. I hope today will be better and now maybe 4 I guess. But the pain comes and goes so I don't know.

I hope that you can get though it. I hope nothing is wrong, but if there is something wrong it's best to know so you can work on it and get better..mike...

I've done a CT scan once and it was quick. I need another one of those too. I thought the MRI would be similar. It was terrifying.

it depends on the machine. the one for my cancer screening isn't as claustrophobic. but the other ones I took I was extremely anxious. but at least it doesn't last too long.

Can you close your eyes inside?

You have open MRI locations where you are Leesa, might check that out and see if your insurance covers that. Open MRI is quite a bit easier mentally than the closed ones. It's not perfect but none of them really are. I had a much easier time in an open one though (sides are open and I could see out a window, see the room, etc)

Yes, see, I wasn't prepared for any of it. I've had a CT scan before but it didn't take too long. I've got to get one of those as well. Yesterday I went from seeing the new therapist to a new ENT ( who is ordering a CT) and then got called to go to the MRI rather unexpectedly. I go to PT today. It is just all too much at once. They are sending me to an open sided' one on Wednesday.

for me it doesn't matter I can't get out and yes I also panic. when I have to do one of those I keep telling myself it won't last long. once they had to do it 3 or 4 times and I made them stop for a short break....mike

I am extremely claustrophobic so I wouldn't be able to do it, no way. I just thought perhaps it could help some other people, to close their eyes and imagine that they are still in the same room, thinking about something else.

sometimes if you have too much happening at once you can talk to your doctor and spread out the appointments because they are causing too much stress. I've done this myself, I can only take so many appointments at a time...mike..
