Hi lynstone60, since I've had several MRIs for different reasons, I found a way to cope

with my anxiety that helped. The eye mask is a must *I had a wash cloth put on top of

the face frame ....I put in my mind that this was my"me time". No one could bother me.

I was safe. I was given head phones that played my meditation tape that I brought along.

I used my deep breathing to relax as well. Last but not least, I told them to let me know

when I was half way through as well as when I was coming down to the home strength.

For me that works, even at the dentist it's great. I hope there isn't another time for you

but if there is, maybe you can tuck away these ideas. xx

Good Luck on your results.....

Ask about or look for "open" MRIs in your area. I had to stop my first MRI, could not do it. After some research I found a local "open MRI" where the machine is pretty much open on all sides, with only a large disk above and below.

I was able to finish that one without issue.
