Reply #4: I've had about ten brain MRIs

[1gobluedem]

They've improved them a lot since I began having them in the 1990s; they used to take an hour, now it's more like 35 minutes. If you're claustrophobic, make sure you let them know and make sure they make it so you can see out. I usually doze during mine.

They aren't as loud as they used to be either but they're still kind of noisy. And if you're getting dye, beware; it can make you kind of woozy.

On the plus side, as I tell people, there is now photographic evidence that I actually HAVE a brain. How many people can say that?

Good luck! I hope whatever it is is nothing serious and something that's easily remedied.
