Extreme fear of mri's

[dixie46]

Thank you for all the great suggestions. I think from prior experience my worst problem is letting my mind take over my surroundings. It seems once I let my mind realize where I am that is where the trouble begins.

So the tips about not looking at the machine and music and covering my eyes may make all the difference in the world. Plus a little premed.

You did not say if it was a breast MRI and if it is you
would have to be in the tube. I use xanax or ativan.
For all other MRI's I use the open MRI and the new
ones are great. Am having one Monday night of the
liver area.
