i hope it goes well🥺 make a long playlist of your favorite music if you’re allowed to have some headphones🤍

Several

I had one a very long time ago. Things have much improved since then. They slid me into this tunnel, chamber like thing and then the loud banging started. Now they have open MRI's and it's much better for the claustorphobic.

Yes, and I hated it. I didn’t think I was claustrophobic until I had an MRI. I hope I don’t have to have another one!

Good luck. I hope you’ll be ok!

Just close your eyes and take a nap, if you can. It's really easy, just a little long and noisy.

I had one and I am claustrophobic. No problem, just close your eyes. It will be over before you know it.

I`ve had two and they had to knock me out I`m extremely claustrophobic.

Are you okay?

I had one while pregnant and honestly can’t remember much about it other than it being extremely loud and testy when it came to my claustrophobia. Breezed right through it though because I was really focused on going home. You’ll breeze through it too 🙂

I’ve had two. It’s noisy in the machine. I’m claustrophobic but the technicians were great at making me feel comfortable. There is something you can take before you go to relax you so ask your doctor if you need something

No, but I probably should. I hope it's nothing serious these things are usually just precautions by the doctors and there's probably nothing seriously wrong.

Now that's being truly naked. When they can see inside your body, that's next level intimacy.

Probably 30 MRI'S. I can tell you anything you want to know.

Yes. When I was in Colorado. They are so expensive. Good thing I had travel.insurance at the time.

No big deal - it might be a little challenging if you are claustrophobic.

Yes .. but they gave me headphones and I listened to my iPod for 30 minutes while being scanned

I have. I got to,chose the music. That made it very tolerable.

When I was younger

I also send at least 20 people a week for them for work

Yeah I did ok till about the last 10 minutes I started freaking out a little

Plenty....

Pretty simple actually, the hardest part is holding your breath....

I have had a few. The hardest thing is laying still for that long.

see if you can get one of the open MRI's

they aren't that bad, but they are noisy

A few, if you're claustrophobic you can request a Benzo.

if there is a type of scan,
I've had it, several times over

I've had several. Not a big deal. Hope it's nothing serious

Yeah, two...one of them sucked the other wasnt so bad

I've had quite a few at this point, yup.

They were gonna, but then decided it was lupis

Yes, too many. But very easy.

Yup. And you don't want my version of the story. Never again. But if you're not claustrophobic and even if you are, there are ways to make it bearable and it's so important to have. Good luck hope all the results are what is you're hoping for.

No I haven't

I have not

Yes

Yes...

Several, for mine it was my head they gave me ear plugs but i have to say the noise was almost unbearable super loud cracking noises over and over .

Just the one. They played music but I had been given ear plugs. That and the noise of the machine meant I couldn’t hear it.

Check into open MRI machines if you find the normal ones to claustrophobic. Xanax is good for calming if not. Ask your Dr.

several--another in a week. First time can be difficult--the noise and confinement. i close my eyes and meditate or go to sleep...

I've had several. You just close your eyes, and lie still and breathe. It's loud, but that's no big deal.

Thanks for BC. I was thinking, "That was a dumb Googler thing to comment." ❤️

a couple months ago. it wasn't really comfortable, but it's far from intolerable.

[c=800000]If possible, get the "open air" version. [/c]

Yes didn't enjoy it myself

Four I think. Nothing to worry about.

Yes. It didn't bother me.

Had many, good luck

numerous!

Yes, I have.
