they gave me 2 xanax 30 mins before i went in. if it weren't for the xanax i would have never made it.

i've had cat scams. those are easy. it's just a collar that moves across you. this thing was just like a coffin. i have fears of being trapped. always have. i could feel the walls touching my shoulders. i opened my eyes half-way into the tube and the ceiling was almost touching my nose. that was when i started freakin' out. i made it 3 feet in and my whole chest tightened up. it was hard to breathe. i wasn't allowed to move. my nose itched.

so she runs me in for 20 mins. she comes on the speaker and says "1 more pass and i'll pull you out". i was so scared and anxious. so it takes 5 mins for it to do it's thing. it does it's thing, she pulls me out. just as my head starts to clear i go to jump up. she puts her hand on my chest and says "schooch up as far as you can. we have to do the second one now." i said "WHAT?" she says "your dr ordered an upper and lower. you're good for another 20 mins, right?"

back in i went.

ahh your a tropper,

I To happen to be a clastrophobo,and i had to get a MRI a few years ago, and like you said, my nose itched and my body did everything to try and get me moving..and you were just laying down!! i was facedown -_-

I feel your pain...had to have one done after tearing my ACL during a football game. Didn't they put headphones on you that played music? They did for me and even let me pick the radio station. Aside from being in a confined place, I think half the battle is trying to remain as still as possible. That, for me, added extra anxiety thinking I may have to be in there longer because I moved to much and they would have to start it all over.

Also anyone with a "shunt" including devices designed for MRI use, because the risk is criticle.

ah yes, the tube of discomfort.

The best thing to do while in an MRI, is just imagine you are inside of a vibrator going in your woman.

Oddly enough after being dosed with xanax i fell asleep and woke up with an errection half way through the procedure... in a hospital gown, head first in the tube. I guess it was the mix of naughty thoughts and the vibrations.

I had one of those and yeah it was a shitty experience. First they asked me what radio station I wanted to listen to so i told them and figure ah this wont be so bad i guess. But they never turned it on and then all the fucking noises started sounding like voices and its a repeating noise, sounded like it was sayin BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD NO NO NO NO NO NO. Thats when I started to get all freaked and was getting ready to hit the button. But it was over just after that part. Felt like 3 hours in there. Probably shouldnt have gone high
