A huge thank you to everyone for the well wishes. I go in Friday morning and should have results the following week. I am still quite nervous, thank goodness I can bike.

I'm not a doctor BUT
...that sure sounds like overkill!! My numbness was caused by a slipped disk in my neck. MS was never even discussed.
HA! MRI's!! They have to knock me out COMPLETELY because I'm really claustraphobic. My first MRI I lasted about 30 seconds in the tube before I went bonkers.
Hang in there. There are a ton of things that can cause numbness. Don't sell the bike yet!To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

I'm glad it's Friday.
I think waiting makes anyone worry more.
Crossing fingers. But I got a good feeling on this one.

Good luck, BikingMom!
Here's hoping that the scan turns up negative for anything scary and you can get back to your regularly scheduled life.
Let us know,

Thank You Emily. I had the MRI with and without contrast this morning, before the sun came up.
Now I can enjoy my weekend riding my bike.

I'm just now catching up on this thread, and can only say it's great that you can still ride your bike. Sometimes that's the only thing protecting my sanity. I'm glad to hear the MRI itself is over with, and I'll be waiting along with the others to hear your report. Try to have a lovely weekend!

Oh the bike stays.
I am perfectly fine to ride it, thank goodness.
The MRI is due to migraine complications and to the fact everything I told him about the symptoms was vascular. On the upside, he said I was "due" for another one anyway. They monitor my brain closely-maybe they think it is awesome.
It is an "open" MRI and they will not knock me out as they like to ask me questions throughout it.
