Slapnut Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016  Just moved into a flat and, bizarrely, there are no blinds or curtains nor a rail in my room. I can't be arsed with the faff of going through the landlord (even though it's his responsibility really) and I don't trust I'll get my deposit back if I start drilling holes in the wall.  I've just bought a cheap pair of shit ones from Ikea for £3 which should last me a few weeks. Not perfect, but at least nobody can see through the window while I'm having a wa.....getting changed. As well as tension rods, 3M Command Strips are pretty good too in situations where you can't do anything permanent. Just make sure you leave the adhesive time to cure before putting any weight on them.   Cheers, I'll look into that. These ones have fallen down three times already.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 Has anybody had experience of "MRI Scans"? I'm shitting myself about this "Radioactive Room" and imagining Spock being killed off for some reason. I've also to cut my hair for it, which isn't particularly long (it was cut in September), what's that all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why the have got you to cut your hair as I never have needed that done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2016 Are they radioactive? I thought they were magnetic. Â Maybe they just thought bAz was a scruffy bastard and could do with a trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Pending on the set up they have, I had an MRI on my knee once, and they gave me some special headphones to listen to music too. I presume they were not magnetic, somehow, but it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Big Shoe Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Has anybody had experience of "MRI Scans"? I'm shitting myself about this "Radioactive Room" and imagining Spock being killed off for some reason. I've also to cut my hair for it, which isn't particularly long (it was cut in September), what's that all about? Yep. Nothing to be really worried about, the only thing is that if you are claustrophobic you might need a sedative & it's loud, even with headphones on. I had one which lasted about 30 min to a 1hr and its best to close your eyes & try and imagine you're laying on a beach etc. There's a button they give you so if you feel panicky you can press it and they can talk to you via an intercom. If it's OK to ask, is the MRI scan going to be on your brain?, as that could be why they wanted you to cut your hair, otherwise I don't know why they would suggest it. I found this which might help explain what they might be doing: http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=gennuclearAlso MRI's are magnetic, but they can use radioactive dye to assist the diagnostic process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 Only an abdominal scan, looking around for gallstones. Â How long do they take to get the results? I really can't be handling this pain and constant sickness at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Only an abdominal scan, looking around for gallstones. Â How long do they take to get the results? I really can't be handling this pain and constant sickness at night. Not sure if same thing but I've had kidney stones couple of times, and had to have MRIs on full bladder (which is a bitch if you have to wait), then they do one with empty bladder, then they inject you with this radioactive dye (???), which is freaky as you can feel the cold coursing through your veins, then they gave me a couple more scans... Nothing too strenuous but was weird a as fuck. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I had an MRI earlier in the year, lasted about an hour and 45 minutes and they left me stuck listening to Jeremy Vine through the headphones. Something worth pointing out is it's pretty loud and vibrates a lot so when I got out I was walking as if I was pissed. Felt out of it for a while after, a bit sick. I've spoken to other folk who've had them done and some have said they had the same thing afterwards, some have said they felt fine. Just a heads up incase you feel shitty afterwards that it's not necessarily anything out of the ordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 I don't think that's the MRI. I usually have that reaction when I listen to Jeremy Vine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members waters44 Posted November 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2016 Whats the difference between MRI and a CT scan then? Everything described above is just like a CT scan I have every six months. Thats on my abdomen too. Not sure if you will have to do this but I have to drink a whole jug of this peachy flavoured milk type drink for 45 mins beforehand. You are then injected with a dye which you can feel going through your body. Someone says its cold but it actually feels warm to me, and when it hits your bladder you feel like you've wet yourself. You can also taste metal for ages. Not the nicest of experiences but you'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
