    Default Random story, proud of myself :)

    So a few weeks ago, I was having really bad pain in my face.. the normal doctor diagnosed a sinus infection but when 2 weeks went by, the pain was worse and the antibiotics weren't working, we knew it was something else. One day I was at work and I was getting horrible pains shooting up the right side of my face, into my right ear, throbbing in my head.. it was terrible. I went to the ER that day and they think it may be a malfunction in my nervous system, so they sent me to get MRI's. My first one was last night, and I'm SO proud of myself! I was literally shaking as I went in, the doctor gave me a button and he said if I panicked I could press it and the MRI would be over (it was a half an hour long) you don't even know how many times I went to press it, fearing I was about to v*, but I surprisingly held back and stayed in the full half hour! I was so happy at the end of it, I seriously would have never been able to do that a few months ago. Just thought I'd share

    tests like mri's really get my anxiety up because being confined and not allowed to move is sooooo hard for me....im such a fidgeter

    if i ever have to have one i'll remember that you made it through without pushing the button and hopefully i will too
