MRI Thursday - few questions

Hey,

I’ve been very lucky in the sense that I’ve got an appointment for an MRI scan on Thursday just a week after my neurology appointment at the Walton Centre.

Grateful at how quickly it’s happened for me (my heart goes out for those who are kept waiting a ridiculous amount of time :pensive:) , bit scared cos I’m a bit claustrophobic but I’ll force myself - need to find out if this is ms or not.

Had an mri on my knee in the past but never on the brain, anyone got any tips? Also how long roughly should I expect it to last and how long did it take for your results to come
Through? We’re they done via phone or letter?

I was told that they’d write to me with a scan appointment then with scan results but they rang me to make scan appointment so thinking results may be done over phone.

I’m scared but I know it’s better than living in limbo so to speak.

Hope everyone’s alright in this heat​:hot_face::sunny:

Thanks x

The best tip from me is to keep your eyes closed.

From the moment you lay on the bed.

I was fine but if you dont like amall spaces i would just keep them closed.

That is exactly what I always do.

For me it took about 45 minutes. Like the others I closed my eyes and thought about beautiful vacation spots. Mostly just boring.
