I’ve always had an issue with dizziness/vertigo among other symptoms. I have seen multiple neirologists and have had multiple MRIS but have neve never actually gotten a diagnosis
Last year, I was in bed for 4 months with vertigo. It was a nightmare. I now live in constant fear of a recurrance of that sort. I need an MRI but I’m still having dizziness and feeling off balance and I have not been able to get through the test. I also know that MRIs can cause dizziness and I’m so fearful of another long episode, I don’t know how I will ever find out what is going on.
I’m also unsure whether an open MRI will show enough detail. None of the facilites in my area offer either the prism glasses, to see out of the machine or music, even for a closed MRI. Feeling dizzy, with no accommodations-I can’t get through it. Even an open MRI with your head ina cage requires something. It’s ironic that medical facilities don’t cater to people who don’t feel well. I just don’t know what to do, so I go on living in fear.
