Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Had an MRI this morning, first time. I knew it was going to be an uncomfortable experience but I wasn’t expecting to feel completely stoned afterwards. Had to sit in the car for 20 minutes before I felt capable of driving home and even now I still feel a bit spacey. Might have a nap.
Thanks, should find out within 48 hours. Alarmingly one of the checks the referring neurologist requested was to see if I’d had a stroke :0/
Jaysus, didn’t they tell you to have someone come pick you up or drive you home? Not very responsible of the MRI provider I think. And bloody dangerous if you are going to be driving.
Had one on my head when I had chronic migraines. Felt wack af after too.
On the other hand, I had one done on my ankle and was okay after. 🤷♀️
Did they identify a cause of the migraines? It was my head and neck, took about 20mins
Nothing in my head; theory is that the migraines were caused by psychological stress (was with my abusive ex at the time, and mum was just diagnosed with schizophrenia and refusing meds). My MRI and CAT scan were both clear, and the migraines cleared up when I left ex and mum haha
MRIs are so cool tbh, but I always freak out a little and ask the nurses if I’ve taken out all my piercings in case I missed one haha
