Brian, Don't feel bad. The first time they put me in the machine I nearly kicked my way out. I never thought of myself as claustraphobic, but.....The next try I was on atavan and didn't feel a thing, in fact I went to sleep (even with the noise) during the test. After they got me out the first time the attendent let me know that in her experience 6 of 8 people had to be sedated to get into that 'thing'. don't forget how to laugh Marling [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
