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.
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
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!

@Harlow You're welcome

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
JohnnyNoir · 61-69, M
@Jenny1234 I've been given a towel to cover my eyes. And the last 2 times I had a headset to listen to music. It made it tolerable
Lostpoet · M
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.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
I`ve had two and they had to knock me out I`m extremely claustrophobic.
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
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 🙂
Myocite · F
Probably 30 MRI'S. I can tell you anything you want to know.
bowman81 · M
I had one and I am claustrophobic. No problem, just close your eyes. It will be over before you know it.

SW-User
Just close your eyes and take a nap, if you can. It's really easy, just a little long and noisy.
Harlow · 31-35, F
@SW-User ok I’ll try 😄

SW-User
@Harlow ikr but honestly it almost feels peaceful, nobody can bother you lol
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
Yes. When I was in Colorado. They are so expensive. Good thing I had travel.insurance at the time.

SW-User
Yes .. but they gave me headphones and I listened to my iPod for 30 minutes while being scanned
ReneeT · 61-69, F
I have had a few. The hardest thing is laying still for that long.
likesnatural · 70-79, M
I have. I got to,chose the music. That made it very tolerable.
Harlow · 31-35, F
@likesnatural oh cool. I hope I get music
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
When I was younger
I also send at least 20 people a week for them for work

JohnnyNoir · 61-69, M
I've had several. Not a big deal. Hope it's nothing serious
RoxClymer · 41-45, M

I've had it, several times over
I've had it, several times over
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
I've had quite a few at this point, yup.
Yes, too many. But very easy.
MougyWolf · 36-40, M
They were gonna, but then decided it was lupis
ButterRobot · 51-55, M
No big deal - it might be a little challenging if you are claustrophobic.
Harlow · 31-35, F
@ButterRobot ok, I’m not
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
No I haven't
Harlow · 31-35, F
@vetguy1991 lucky 🥲
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
I have not

SW-User
Yes
Pretzel · 70-79, M
see if you can get one of the open MRI's
they aren't that bad, but they are noisy

Graylight · 51-55, F
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.
SinlessOnslaught · M
Yes...
Grateful4you · M
A few, if you're claustrophobic you can request a Benzo.
Docdon23 · M
several--another in a week. First time can be difficult--the noise and confinement. i close my eyes and meditate or go to sleep...
comfi1 · 61-69, M
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.
Elisbch · M
Check into open MRI machines if you find the normal ones to claustrophobic. Xanax is good for calming if not. Ask your Dr.
kodiac · 22-25, M
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 .
Coppercoil · M
Now that's being truly naked. When they can see inside your body, that's next level intimacy.
Harlow · 31-35, F
@Coppercoil Hope I don’t scare them too much 😂
Coppercoil · M
@Harlow you have demons and dispossessed spirits hiding in there?
Harlow · 31-35, F
@Coppercoil maybe, I hope they don’t escape 🤫
a couple months ago. it wasn't really comfortable, but it's far from intolerable.
4meAndyou · F
I've had several. You just close your eyes, and lie still and breathe. It's loud, but that's no big deal.
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
If possible, get the "open air" version.

SW-User
Yeah I did ok till about the last 10 minutes I started freaking out a little
ninalanyon · 61-69, T

Senecaa · 70-79, M
