I went and saw the machine at another clinic tonight and I feel TONS better. He told me because I'm shorter my head would be a little in but enough to look up and outside of the machine. He said that Open MRI doesn't give a great picture because of the open sides. This looked exactly like a CT machine except a little longer. I actually almost teared up in relief that I'll finally be getting some answers. They do offer sedation or valium, instead of me having to fill my own prescription. I'm not sure if I should take a xanny or valium. Suggestions?
