Re: Would appreciate any help or advice

As others have said, I try to go into a sort of meditative state. Zone out.
Some MRI machines have a mirror deal on them too, so you can "see" out the end of the tube and not feel so confined.

I have also certainly taken an Ativan when anticipating something stressful!
Keep the faith.
