FUDGE!!

While it's great that my dr. wrote a referral for the upright MRI -- the clinic that offers these types of MRIS will not perform an upright MRI on the abdomen. So...I had to message my dr. yet again, to share this info with her and then ask her to consider writing me a referral for a CT scan, and as a last resort...an ultrasound w/contrast. I hate contrast. It gives me hives every time I get it so I have to take Benedryl before I go in. I'm so upset that these upright MRI's supposedly can't scan your stomach area. I mean, you're standing between 2 giant magnets. One would think its possible. How can they scan your shoulder and your legs, but not your torso if you're standing up or lying on your side inside this machine.

I'm hoping my dr. considers the CT scan. I never get claustrophobic inside that donut shaped machine, It's so much easier to cope with than an MRI machine which is just the stuff of nightmares.
