Successfully didn't die in the giant magnet. XD

It was like an EDM club that you can't leave.

& then they slid the table out & I'm like "okay bye" & they're like "no we just have to put the IV in."

With the 950 times they had to ask "are you absolutely sure you don't have any metal shards inside your body?  Really?  What about your eyes? Any metal in there?"  They kinda forgot to mention the IV. >_<


(Forge/ anyone: why so specific about the eyes? Do people tend to forget about the time they had metal shards removed from their eyes?)

Edit: oh my god I can't believe I missed the opportunity to to make a reference to Iron Man.

Hey, metal surgical implants made of titanium are fine right? I have one in my wrist, I've always wondered.

I went through this today sadly. Found out it's a positive for Parkinson's disease.

I kinda felt that it was coming after years of seizures and tremors, and the blacking out and the migraines.

I'm terrified, but glad to know what it is, and now we can treat it till I go all Michael J Foxx and whatnot.

Ugh.

Titanium is non-magnetic, but even an aluminum can will float in an MRI's magnetic field. So you definitely don't want metal bits in your eyes during an MRI.

I go back Monday to figure out my treatment regimen and plan. Main concern is the seizures being controlled. I can live with the shakes for now.

And @Drak, I've got 3 titanium pins and a metal cap in my knee (you may remember my posts about my knee way back in cys years ago) and I've had several MRIs and the like on it.

So MRI is one of my Specialties!

Titanium is fine in 99.9 percent of cases. Your average Mri only runs at 1.5 or even 3 Tesla (1 Tesla is the strength of the earth's mag field) at at these strengths Titanium is basically unaffected - I had my wedding ring made of it for this exact reason so I don't ever need to take it off. For the same reason implants made of it are totally fine.

The issue comes from Iron or steel. If it surgical steel and it has been in the body for a long time (over a year say) you can often get away with it as it will be so securely held in place in a 1.5 Tesla Mri but I wouldn't risk a stronger field than that.

And as for the eyes... The Eyes are the big risk for two main reasons:

1. If you ever worked with metal, cutting, sculpting, welding, plumbing etc. There is a chance of very small fine particles of metal getting into your eye where the action of the tears (and rubbing it) moves some of them back behind the eye into the orbit cavity where they sit and do nothing, causing no problems. You can't even tell they are there, could be there for decades.

2. If you have tiny fine particles of copper, iron or steel in your orbit when you go in an Mri... It pulls them extremely strongly to the centre of the field. In reality it means it pulls them from behind the eye, around the circumference then out the from (presuming your eye lid isn't closed) the metal is metal and Sharpe so as it moves it literally slices your eye open leaving large scars around your eyeball and in your eyelid as you close it due to what will be a lot of pain.

So Yeh it can blind you

Thanks, Seth, appreciate the concern, after the last 2 years of medical problems tbh? The Parkinson's diagnoses is the least of my concerns. I had a cancerous tumor removed from my stomach in Sept. And spent almost 2 months of treatment for that. Luckily I'm bald, but my beard started falling out in places. It's grown back in rather nicely though. So I'm cool with that.

Well nobody's dying (yet), but family emergency and all that.

Won't be as active at CYS (or anywhere) for awhile, so if anyone wants to insult me over there (or here for that matter) it will be a fair fight.  :D

Still hoping to get some writing done on Rogues during the downtime (Finished all the beginning main branches of male path so far).

I come to you again for advice.

So, about a year and a half back I hurt my left foot hiking up a mountain while wearing socks that were too short for the shoes I had on. The back of the shoes scratched against my foot until it broke skin in several areas. While the breaks healed, when I was picking off the scans some few weeks later there was a slight growth in one of those areas, which I assumed was just more scab, so I kept on picking at it for quite a while.

Anyway, a year and a half later and several pickings, the growth has become about the size of a small pea and continuously regenerates. I've been seriously considering cutting it off, and am concerned it might be cancerous and that I should see a doctor.

Amputate from the knew down, it's too late to save the leg...

Hmm, dermatological stuff is really not my area at all. I'd say get is seen though just in case.

You should check with a dermatologist to be sure.
(What color is it?)

I have a pea-sized lump on my shin.  Showed up a couple years ago; looks like a pimple, or skin right after a scab comes off. I forget what dr called it- not keloid but something similar.  Not cancer.  Said its caused when a small cut gets irritated/infected & responds with over abundance of scar tissue.

That sounds just about exactly like my thing  (Seth), right down to the appearance too.

Dermatological appointments generally take a while so I definitely plan on making one but this has a chance to get me some friendly advice a little faster :)
