In reply to freaked out--had an MRI this morning of brain, posted by smokeymadison on August 3, 2005, at 18:03:21
Hello SM,
I'm sorry you're having worries about the MRI. I can empathize with what you're going through, because I had to get two MRIs in the past to make sure that I didn't have multiple sclerosis (it turns out I don't, luckily!)I too tried to analyze facial features gestures and body language of the technician to try to interpret whether or not he could see something horrible in my brain.
But I think that once they're done with the scans, they're really just focused on uploading the data and getting ready for the next patient. That may be why their demeanor becomes more businesslike and withdrawn.
I know it's pointless to tell you to relax while you're waiting for the results, because I surely wasn't able to, and I completely freaked out waiting for my results. I definitely had to use a Xanax from my doctor daily until I got the results. It helped me stay a little bit less anxious.
I truly hope you're going to be OK, and I hope that you get the results soon so that you don't need to worry too much. Please keep posting as much as you need to, and hopefully we can help with the anxiety just a tiny bit.
Take care and good luck.
