I completey understand your fear because i am claustrophobic too!


I know you have been poorly the past few days so please try to get lots of rest.

Thinking of you mate
Loads of love

Aww thanks everyone. I have just got up after having a sleep.

I had a bad last night last night cos I went out for a big business meal at lunchtime so had 3 courses at a lovely Italian restaurant. Big mistake. I was in agony last night with stomach/bowel pains and being sick and Alex had to take me to the out of hours doctors at the local hospital who fortunately let me home with some anti-sickness drugs and some Tramadol (pain killers).

I was doubled up in pain but after being sick quite a lot felt better and now I just have a bearable pain in my bowels.

That will teach me for eating too much I guess.

So I am back on my Crohn's Modulen drinks again for now and no real food.

So today I had the MRI scan and was a bit worried but determined to through with it.

I didn't realise how tight it was ! I thought it would be as wide as a CT scanner but longer but it was tiny inside. They tried 3 times and the 3rd time managed to get me all the way in but no way could I stay there for 30 minutes.

I think it was cos my arms were touching the sides so I felt so trapped.

They had to bring me out and abandon it. They said I could try it again with sedation after talking to my GP but I am not sure I want to go back there ever again. Horrid things.

So I failed to get that done.

Thanks for all the well wishes and to Lisa, Di and Sue for the texts as well.

I guess me and MRI scanners are never going to see eye to eye
