<< JanHHi Guys, Joellen here. When they tried to do my first MRI I found out
that I'm claustaphobic! The second time they tried they gave me IV
Valium, by the time that that hit I was feeling so good that they could
have cross sectioned my brain for all I cared!!!LOL >>

Joellen:

Very funny! Like you, I never thought I was claustrophobic until my first
MRI. When it would get quiet for a long spell I was convinced the techs had
forgotten about me and had gone to lunch. Then the pounding would start
again. Yikes! Then with the second MRI I had the valium. When it was quiet
for long spells I was afraid I was going to fall asleep and start snoring.
Not very ladylike behavior....
