MRI/MRA tomorrow./ body reactions to sound/touch

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

tomorrow I'm having an MRI/MRA done and did not really know what an

MRA was I looked it up (I just wanted to see if needles were involved !!!

LOL )....I found a very good site explaining both, including MRI with

gadolinium injection. go to

http://www.mindonline.com/MRI/mra.htm I hope this goes through.

Anyway, I was told my time in the " tube " would be 4 to 5 hours long !!!

UGH!!! I'm gonna be sore after this one for sure...maybe they will give me

a break somewhere in between??

If a person is apt. to jerk and tremor do they insist on giving you a

sedative or something?? I really don't want to take anything....I hate

feeling " out of control " which is why I only take Tylenol and 1/2

Darvecetes for pain......

Also..another question if I may ask....does anyone else's body (whole

body experience) jump majorly to sounds/touch...not things that necessarily

scare you or are necessarily sudden, but everyday noises and touches that

you are expecting....

my whole body reacts almost violently (jerking/tremors) most days to

regular noises/touches...wondering if this is a result of hyper reflexes as

I do have 3+ hyper reflexes throughout whole body. Just wondering because

it is driving me nuts.....not to mention how embarrassed I feel when this

happens in public....it reminds me of how Jerry carries on in one of

his silly movies !!!

Have a Happy Halloween everyone!!! I hope I don't scare all the

techs away with my gory pics tomorrow !!! ((((hugs)))) Sam
