MRI

by iamfaithful, Nov 19, 2007 01:57PM
I am having an MRI of the brain on Wednesday but I think I am giong to reschedule my appt for after the holidays.  I am nervous about the dye they use; but I have had it before w/a CAT scan.  But that was before my panic and ALL of the symptoms came into my life.  I am kind of freaked that the dye is going to do something weird to me.  I already have PVC's and I don't want it affecting me in a bad way.  I realize that I am being anxious about it but can't help it.
Anyone been thru this?  Any suggestions?

I had an MRI of the Brain with contrast last month - its not so bad. I am very sensitive and the dye didn't do a thing to me. They don't inject it until after half way thru the test. I would suggest taking somesort of relaxer like valium first. They let you do that - talk to your DR. You'll be fine! Don't worry! - Carol
