Your articles are easy for the lay person to read and understand. I enjoyed reading a few of them. I'm wondering where I can find information regarding MRI side affects. I know they're suppose to be practically non existent but there must be some place where they research the matter so we can continue to be assured of the safety of MRI's. I personally devolped some anxiety and had panic attacks after having an MRI. I never had either problem prior to the MRI. A couple years later I have a friend who is going throught the same thing I did. I know that it's not a physical manifestation but it is related to the MRI for both of us. I understand that there is a good percentage of people who have anxiety or panic while undergoing MRI scans. I would be interested to know how many people have issues post MRI. If you're aware of any studies or reseach in this area I would be very interested to know of it.
Thank-you,
