I had my records transfered to the MRI here in town---

Easier going here rather than to HELEN HAYES REHAB. HOSPITAL--

This is the *new* thing told to me from the MRI(here in town)

NO---CALCIUM--NOR VITAMINS for 24 hours before the test???
They can give a false reading----now if one has been taking C and V for years how could one day without--make a difference??

Anyway the technician ,here, was SHOCKED that HELEN HAYES never told me to do this--

hope my bones arent any worse than what they SUPPOSEDLY are---cus due to my GP,Dr. Kozin, I DONT have osteo.!!!!! which my retired GYN. told me I had????

So now Mars, I feel like U looked in that added pic. to your post and am sorry that U feeling so rotten---bummer!!!!!

Also changed to NEW sweats---

luv Barbara --the inside-outer

I have had them done for over 10 years now and I have never been told to stop anything. Hmmm, the one thing that I have had, is getting different readings from different machines used. Everyone read them differently. Because I have moved so many times in the last few years, that is.

Gentle hugs

I had one earlier this year and same story, not a word about stopping the calcium and vitamins.....you would think all those professional's would be on the same page, hardy, har, har!
