but I actually found the whole MRI process oddly comforting and relaxing.
The cozy warm blanket they covered me with. The soft cushions on the sides of my head. The rhythmic thump-thump-thumping and whooshing and clicking, along with periodic slight vibrating. I think I almost took a nap (since I very determinedly kept my eyes shut the entire time).
But . . . it might have just been that nice friend Valium giving me that impression. ;)
(Turned out I couldn't listen to music after all, because of the cushioned helmet thing they had to put on my head to scan my brain. And I couldn't drive for 12 hrs afterwards, so we had to call the school and tell the kids to walk home. And I conked out completely for no less than 4 hours when we got home. But hey, it was a nice fuzzy heavy (and maybe slightly dizzy) relaxed nap. Nice Valium, Good Valium. haha)
I should get the results soon. I'll keep ya posted . . .
(more details for anyone curious about getting an MRI: I had heavy duty earplugs in to dull the noise. And I got an IV of contrasting dye that got to my brain surprisingly fast. But it still didn't bother me all too much. ha) ;)

That's the nicest description of an MRI I've ever heard. I hope you get some answers.
haha! I've never enjoyed MRIs that much--I'm glad you did. I hope you get some answers and some painfree days!
