I am so tired of this!!! It would be so easy to just quit this entire fight!!!!! I went for my MRI Friday where they were supposed to put me to sleep to do it because of complete claustrophobia, but the idiots just drugged me up . With versed and fentanyl, so needless to say I was awake and freaked out and they could not do thewhole test, so now I have to go again!!!!
Besides the physical pain I am extremely tired of the mental pain.....no matter what I do I cannot get help!! I have recently had to quit counselling because of my dam insurance and after Over 2 weeks of fighting with the insurance company And billing . Office I have given up!!!!! I am searching c the internet interior try and find another shrink but have had no luck and I am just ready to say f it!!!! I am at my witts end and I am so tired of bugging people on here, in Chat and my friends from church but . I feel if I don't I will say f it and do myself in!!!!!

Welcome wink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I know MRI's are awful things to go through, it must be especially terrible if you are claustraphobic. i've had several MRI's but was awake through the whole situation too. I would not worry about bugging people on this site, as that is what we do for each other is give support, especially if you extremely stressed out. i hope and pray you will get a good psychiatrist and T.

Hi dear Wink ~ I'm so sorry. I've had many MRI's and I'm quite claustrophic too, and I keep my eyes shut thru the whole thing. That helps me alot.

I'm so sorry your insurance company is giving you fits. I HATE insurance companies that do this! They make millions -- why can't they just help you and let it go at that!!! This drives me insane!

Can't your doctor help you find another psychiatrist? It seems like he could help you! He SHOULD be trying to help!

You are NOT bugging people here Wink. We are here to help, sweetie. So don't worry about bothering anyone! If anyone IS bothered, they don't belong here in the first place!

Please don't talk about hurting yourself. We are here for you, my friend. Keep posting, Wink. We're here to help you. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee

I'm claustrophobic, too and am scared of MRI machines. I've always had open MRIs- is that not an option for you? Sorry, you're having a rough time.

I am so sorry! MRI's are just miserable for me as well. I've had several, due to a couple of different issues. Only once was I able to fall asleep, and that one I had to repeat because I kept jerking in my sleep.

Thankfully, I don't suffer claustrophobia normally...but I do become very anxious and physically miserable during those darn tests. I have been allowed to bring music to calm me a couple of times, and that did help a lot. Perhaps you can see if that's an option for you as well, if open MRI's aren't?

Gentle hugs to you...

I have tried all the open mri's which just means the opening is a little bigger but when my head and back need to be in I need to be put to sleep or they do not do it

[redbandit]

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad! I understand about the MRI's. I was actually freaking out this morning thinking i might have to have one, i was considering going to the ER. I think i have pinched nerves or something, my neck and back was all freaking me out. *hugs* and i understand about stupid insurance companies too, until recently i was still on my parents, now I'm on my husbands. His insurance isnt nearly as good, and the whole mess is confusing!

Well just heard from the drs office and we are rescheduling another mri since they did not put me to sleep like they were supposed to the first time, so i have to go through this all over again!!!!!!!
