My very first MRI, the day before neurosurgery, they put my head in a
"mask" like "Lechter" in "Silence of the Lambs."  I was in muscle lock,
severe pain, and spasms--agony.  Not that I ever "relax."

Solution: insist on anesthetic.  I've since "slept" blissfully through
several MRI's.

The best sweet Mag,
