@eileen61 - I know that a lot of people have trouble being inside an enclosed space. I for one, hate it. MRI machines aren't made for comfort at all. That being said you are very lucky not to be one. Test results, no matter which ones, always elicits anxiety. I think that the reason for this is because when we are ill, we lose control. We depend on the medical profession to cure us or at least make us feel better. We turn over our physical selves and that gives us a sense of losing control. Plus humans seem to like tormenting ourselves, lol. We anticipate which makes us feel even worse. Humans can come up with the worst scenarios that might occur. When you find yourself doing this try and see if it's a possible scenario. Maybe think of ways that you have dealt with "bad news" before and implement those. Keep busy too. We can't change the future but we can prepare for it. How have you dealt with your anticipations?
