    Symptoms during MRI, am I crazy?

    So I need to know that I am not alone in this weirdness.

    2 years ago, I lost bladder control while in the tube.

    This recent one, I had pain in my right leg and back. Also weird little tingling and muscle twitches.

    Anyone else notice weirdness? I blame it on the MRI heating up the lesions.

    Thanks, -Dawl

    Not sure if this happens to you, but for me, anxiety/nervousness will exacerbate my symptoms (sometimes quite a bit, unfortunately).

    I've always been chilly in the MRI, but I suppose it's possible.

      Dalwfin,

      Did you have contrast with the MRI? You may have had a reaction to the contrast.

        Immediately after one of my MRI's I could only see 20 ft in front of me. I put it down to getting too hot as it resolved as soon as I cooled down.

          Hi Dawlfin. During several MRI's I have had the feeling of an internal "sparkler" shooting little sparks in my arms and legs. It's not for the whole test, but for a good portion. It doesn't hurt, it's just a weird feeling. Not sure if it's from the power of the magnet or MS.

            I believe you! I walk in and can hardly crawl out. Something happens in there. It doesn't go away; turns into a proper flare. It feels like something was cooked.
            I have coils in my brain, and I thought maybe that was the reason, but maybe we have lesions in places that don't like MRI tests.
            Thank you for posting OP. I thought I was the only one.

                Kat,
                I have had contrast a lot, no problems. This is the third time weird sensations, etc.
