There was a strap placed around my waist/hips, where they were planning to examine. Since the MRI I have felt lathargic and my muscels feel extremely fatigued - especially around my waist where the strap was. On the day I felt sick and extremely tired. I also had very little appeitite. I had it 6 days ago and I still feel fatigued and i'm finding the gym a struggle. Is this normal? Hi

]]> Comment on ECKHART TOLLE PROPHET OR PROFIT? by Helen Thomas http://womenclimbingtrees.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/eckhart-tolle-prophet-or-profit/#comment-120 Helen Thomas Wed, 29 Jul 2009 23:31:48 +0000 http://womenclimbingtrees.wordpress.com/?p=79#comment-120 Paula, I agree with your defence of Eckhart Tolle. I recently had a discussion where a women hit out at Eckhart saying he was 'evil' and 'taking people to an eternal hell'. She called his meditation practice leading people into a 'mass trance'. I found her language very sensationalist and scaremongering. It was indeed in great contrast to Eckhart's messages which seem to be coming from a very deep and very real place that many of us have lost the ability to feel into. It is I believe through exploring Eckhart's ideas about ways of being that humanity can in fact survive and not die out as a race. I just wanted to say keep it up! Helen Paula,

Had my first MRI (brain) today, and didn't know what to expect. Was given earplugs, and wasn't really too bothered by the 'jack hammers', but had a totally unexpected reaction to the sort of siren/whirring noise! Felt hot like other people have decribed, and started feeling very prickly. My cheek started to tic, and I started feeling breathless, like I was having a panic attack. I was just about to press the duress switch, when the noise stopped and changed to something else - I felt a bit better, if slightly nauseated, for the rest of the scan, and just lay there waiting for that noise to strike up again. Luckily it didn't. Drove home yawning my head off, and have been scratching my head ever since, wondering what that was all about! Good luck all - can't say I'll be rushing back for a second go...

I was told it would last 20 mins but ended up in there for 40! I was fine except my body got very hot and tingly. Now I'm home I have large red blotches on my chest, arms and legs, my body is tingling all over and my chest hurts to breathe. It's now 4 hours since the scan and I'm sure after reading the posts above that I'm not going to feel any better tomorrow! I had an mri scan today.
