I'm getting a brain scan this week.

I will be so excited if I'm told I'm going to die and they give me a date.

No, you wouldn't. You'd cling and cling and cling and cling to your life and would be scared.

Death is only tempting when it ain't real. I seen few people who were fairly suicidal in past to go into full "I WANNA LIVE, PLEASE" mode when they thought they might die for real.

Don't wish for it.

universe is sick and twisted the ones that want to kick the bucket are always the ones to live to a ripe old age .........my theory is the universe has a twisted sense of humor

but a brain scan is nothing they have several types .......hope u are not the dye injected that stuff feels weird as hell in yah

but when the scan is over make sure they have paper in the printer get yourself a copy for a poster ..........plus it gives u a hobby u can compare yours with others and see what u find on your own ask the doctors about it

Any idea how much a brain scan cost out of pocket?

What is the scan for?

Mine came up negative. They couldn't find it. Good luck with yours.

I might be getting one soon...

brain scans are done several ways

cat scans ....MRIs ....EEGs

basically they are looking for anything abnormal .....design of it (what parts are active) then they will test what parts are firing .......then they will take pics of it in layers and make a model out of in the computer system

if the place is really go they do the model first then over lay the reaction tests on it to give the doctor a better understanding of what is doing what when u see/hear something to provoke a reaction

it can be alot of fun .........but if u move around to much they will strap the head down or give u a mild trank to knock u down or out for a little bit

if u do not like closed spaces they do have whole room system where u can take the test but u are talking major money

as for out of the pocket cost a Cat and MRI plus trip to hospital (bed and all that/blood work/ iv bags ) 6000 bucks wacked my head on the street on a moped in july of this year ........5 hours later they told me go home

think it is eeg

the one they wire your head up in a helmet and tell u to sleep then ask u ?s flash strobe in your face ...show u pictures

some guy is reading the brainwaves coming out on something that looks like a lie detector test from the 80s

bio feedback works .....if u get a cool person ask them for 5 10 mins when it done to play around u can trigger the needles to move using emotions

I am sorry jesusplay for your feelings. You must be in a very difficult situation mentally right now and you think you might escape the pain. It will take away whatever you don't like facing right now. Does it seem like the easier way out?

As we know this goes in cycles. Sometimes I've just wanted out. And I've seen no other way. But somehow, I have crawled out of the dark holes and in hindsight realised I just wanted the pain to go away, not my life. Have you ever been in this kind of thought mode before, crawled out of it, and thought I'm glad it didn't end that way?

I know that right now it doesn't seem that way but know that with proper support you can and will get through this.

Be well.
