RoxStar Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I have to go in for an MRI tommorow because I've been having severe headaches and I was wondering... should I be worried or just keep calm and prepare for the worst? Anyone whos had one before please respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 MRI's are really no biggie. They stick you in a giant plastic tube for about half an hour at most and take see-through photographs of you to determine what's wrong with you. If you've been having severe headaches, hopefully it's not something that the MRI can detect, because that would mean somethings wrong in the noggin. I wish you the best.

SeleneRayne Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 You should not worry at all. I've had one, and yes, they are no biggie. I'm certain your doctor will pin-point the problem. And I hope for the best as well:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I've been in those before. They won't hurt ya. They'll probably give you a choice of listening to the radio while you're being scanned. Wish you the best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Windu Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Good luck Roxstar. You won't find me in big tubes unless its at the water park. Imagine yourself at the water park! Just uh, don't warm the water eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 some MRI places are cool and play the radio for you to make things a bit easier. ppl with claustrophobia can have some troubles, but just relax and close your eyes, think of rhett dancin naked along the beach in Iowa... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 its good to get checked out even if it turns out to be nothing. they'll probably just tell you that you spend too much time on your computer. i get bad headaches if i'm infront of a computer too much... which sucks seeing as i'm an I.T Technician. just relax, close your eyes and imagine you're on a beach somewhere sunbathing, drinking from cocnuts and Rhett rubbing in lotion you... ah, venice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 dear god.... They were all quiet and ushered me into a room after the wonderful MRI (I fell asleep listening to Nirvana) and told me that I had sinusitis (sp?) and had some rain cysts. They refered me to a neurological surgeon. I just did some research and "Brain Cyst" on google takes me to Brain Cancer web sites.... I hate my brain.

--ZeeMan-- Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 nah sinuinits isn't that much of a biggie, just means your sinuses aren't getting drained properly and they could get infected really easily and brain cysts are just clumps of calcium if i'm not mistaken and they can take care of those really easily too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joetheeskimo Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I wish you luck. I've had surgery mulitple times, once on my eye. So it's no big deal (I hope j/k ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manoman81 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yeah, the sinus thing shouldnt be that big of a deal. As for the cysts, well I had one somewhere that I wont mention. They suck, but they can be taken care of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
