Has anyone struggled with a MEG test
Sat, 04/29/2017 - 21:23Hi my name is Brandon and I've been recently having a bunch of tests done but it's the first time i had to do a MEG test. That machine sucked! I had to hold my own head up with my neck the whole hour long test. I don't know if anyone else has ever had to literally hold their whole weight of their head with their neck for a test like this. But it was not fun.
believe me you sure don't

believe me you sure don't want to do the tests I went thru back in the 1960's.. There was no MRI.They knocked me out strapped me into a machine that twirled me around and took xrays form all angles after pumping air up into my brain. I don't think I could make my worst enemy take that test. After it is done you lay flat on your back for about 3 days and let the air escape. If you move your head will be pounding..
