MRI & MRA today


Today was a Cervical MRI, Brain MRI and a Brain MRA.  It took one hour and 30 minutes.

There is a sad part and a funny part to this experience.

Lets start with Funny!!

When I was checking in, the lady saw on my form that I have Lupus.  She asked "when where you bit?"
I chuckled!!!!  She looked dumb founded by my chuckle and I then realized she was dead serious.  She totally believed the old wives tale of where Lupus got its name! AND to top it off, she said she has a best friend that has Lupus and she said she has watched her deteriorate dramatically.  So this sweet lady has clearly been exposed to this auto-immune disease.

  • Lupus is Latin for wolf,  Erythematosus means redness. In the 18th century, when lupus was just starting to be recognized as a disease, it was thought that it was caused by the bite of a wolf. This may have been because of the distinctive rash characteristic of lupus. (Once full-blown, the round, disk-shaped rashes heal from the inside out, leaving a bite-like imprint.)


As for the test itself, my pain volume level is turned up SUPER HIGH from the lupus and I can't handle too much of anything.  Having to lay there on that MRI/MRA board for 1 hour 30 minutes was agonizing.  I literally felt  like I was whacked on the back of the head by a 2x4 over and over again. I was crying so hard at the end and even trying the "referral pain" of pinching my arm wasn't helping.  I threw up right afterwards!!!
The technician was a sweetheart and she was super knowledgeable and understanding!!! thumbs up to desert radiologists!
