Yuck- Neurologist visit

[Crankin]

I had 3 closed MRIs last year; head and neck, lumbar, and upper spine. I am mildly claustrophobic, but you could still see out part way. I just did deep breathing. I did have Gandolin with the head and neck and was quite concerned because I AM allergic to IV contrast dye they use with CT scans. But I had no problems with the MRI.
I can get panicky, too in these situations, but I was determined not to take drugs for this. I went by myself and it was fine.

2 closed MRI's in the last year. I kept my eyes closed the whole time, and counted. The tech would tell me how long the scan would last, and I'd start counting

Aggie_Ama,

This could be completely out of left field since I really don't know any of your medical history - I do remember you mentioning the tremor & weight loss before but can't really remember the details.

But there are cases with fat soluble drugs that the drugs are stored in your fat deposits - and when you lose weight, those drugs are then released back into your system. that can play havoc with some random drug tests, btw.

So if you were on any sort of drug in the past - possibly when you lose weight, it's getting released back into your system and causes the tremors.
