Nothing like...

......having an MRI done and finding out that you're claustrophobic!

I've had one done before many years ago, and everything went fine, but this time, no such luck. Didn't even make it five minutes before a full-on anxiety attack hit and I was screaming and shaking. Luckily, the technicians encounter people like me quite often, so they were kind and understanding. But, man! I don't think I've ever been this embarrassed!

I'll have to reschedule it, but I'm hoping to find an alternative procedure. They suggested Valium, but that makes me extremely loopy and I won't be able to lay still. So I'll have to call my doctor to see what can be done.

Now to try and relax. It's been hours since my attempted MRI but I'm still shaking.
