    Oh you did not. I do enough of that all on my own. I could never get through med school, I would have every illness. I was impressed at my restraint from looking up vascular related issues on the web. I figured I would have myself dying by the end of the day. My migraines are very severe and I am very hyper-vigilant to "unusal" sensations in my body.

    I appreciate your honesty. If I did not want to hear options, I weould not have asked. To put my mind at rest, I will be calling the doctor Tuesday-I cannot believe he took the day off. Now, if they would offer to sedate me during MRIs. I hate those things!

    Can you ask for valium?

    My last MRI was about a year ago and they refused to give any medication.

    I will definitely ask the doctor this time and see if he will make certain I have something. I really hate MRIs.

    There is an open MRI where I go. Great big disk thing hanging over your head but completely open to the sides and over your body. The cage for your head is a little claustrophobic but I learned long ago to breathe deeply and think of lovely things. I usually fall asleep.

    I would need valium for an enclosed MRI. They do give it to my dad.

    SK,
    That sounds actually nice. Is an open as loud as the closed MRI?

    Haven't a clue. There still are all the clunks and bangs of the magnets. I just listen to the music and nod off.

    That is such crap. If they're that worried about drug seekers, they can just prescribe one pill with no refills. Geez. I suppose you could swallow a quarter of a little bottle of valerian or something.
