My doctor has arranged an MRI with contrast next week, to check for a pituitary tumor in case that's causing my double vision, and exclude MS.
I am horribly claustrophobic so started some practice sessions to overcome my panic. Oddly the claustrophobia wasn't the worse thing. I found lying on my back made it hard to breathe (rib cage) Also, my throat started to close and I felt like I was suffocating. Even when upright, I often have to clear my throat because I can't swallow saliva (sorry if that sounds gross) but lying down on my back, unable to cough or clear my throat was awful. I won't be allowed to move even one mm in the scanner, so no throat clearing. They've been very clear on that. Does anyone have any advice how I manage the effects of respiratory muscle weakness so I can manage the scan.
