...circled "code 340 - Multiple Sclerosis" on info sheet... I'm scheduled to take an MRI for the first time on Tuesday morning... I've been given three pills that will put me to sleep during the entire process (which will be an MRI on both the spine and the brain). I rarely feel pain (even though I've felt it a lot more often lately in the muscles behind my lower legs and upper arms -- as well as stiffness and pain in ankles, fingers, and toes).The doctor asked me to take three information sheets back to the nurse for the scheduling of the MRI. He circled Multiple Sclerosis on all three and didn't even tell me about the MRI on the brain -- he just said "this will be a long MRI on your spine..." When the hospital called to verify the appointment, they told me he also scheduled an MRI on the brian. How long can I expect this to take and, provided this is MS, how long will it be until he informs me? The next appointment with him isn't until November 18th and I still have blood work later this week...
