15. They Did Not

And, I didn't ask.
Having had MS for 30 years now, I've had lots of MRIs. (I was also part of the study group for the drug company on patients with the cerebellar form of the disease, so every other year for 10 years).
They don't bother me & I have no claustrophobia.
It's just that as I aged, the laying in one spot without moving for 45 or 50 minutes, with no back arch was more difficult than it used to be.
