I show up with leggings and a no-metal bra. I'm going to be as comfortable as possible on that darn table so they only have to do it once and it goes as fast as possible. The last guy who did it commented that I must have done it a few times before. Yes indeed! I feel like I've reached MRI pro status.

I’ve never had one with music but that’s probably a good thing. I’m a lifelong metalhead - no way I’m going to keep still with my music on!

I guess I’m lucky. I don’t hear a thing they put me on enough sedation to keep me still so they basically have to knock me out. I’m laying on that stinking hard board I hurt to bad to be still so just wake me up when it’s over.πŸ€ͺπŸ˜›πŸ€£.

They do but I still wiggle plus I’m terribly claustrophobic so they know to let me take a nap works better for all.

I’m able to be completely still for the entire MRI but my husband can get in one and go to sleep. I kid you not! I cannot do that. I have to have earplugs of course and the pillow under my knees. Maybe a blanket if it feels cool but I have never even come close to dozing off. Not even when they gave me Ativan ahead of the test. It was like eating m&m’s because it did absolutely nothing for me. I guess all the meds over the years, I have built up a tolerance? Didn’t phase me.

i often fall asleep as well. it's crazy b/c it's so loud and uncomfortable, but i guess the banging lulls me to sleep after a while.

I count the rhythmic knocks, puts me to sleep every time. I usually wake myself up by snoring... After that, it's back to counting the cycles. It helps keep me focused and still.

I have fallen asleep before and they had to redo a scan because my leg twitched. Now I try to not to fall asleep when I have an MRI. Ours does not have the music that everyone talks about.

When I fell asleep last time, I was getting the spinal scan. Tomorrow's a brain scan, so they'll force the cage over my head--that might keep me from sleeping. I do know my sciatic nerve starts hurting, and I get so stiff, I have a hard time sitting up when it's all over.

That depends on the experience of the mri operator, correct? Did they get a passing grade in Geography? Important to know 😎

I need to go in for a brain & spine MRI soon and wondering if they will make me wear a face mask in the tube? Seems like that would feel awful to have that on in addition to the face "cage" and "stay still" commands!

Good question Boxofchocolates πŸ€” I can't remember if I had to wear one when I was in the hospital. It was a blrr πŸ€£πŸ˜” Call and ask them? And ask for extra xanax!πŸ˜πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

I have no trouble sitting still for MRIs. I usually try to count the seconds between the scans to see how close I can get. It’s like playing a game. It sounds like when somebody pounding on my roof to have it reshingled. So I kind of pictured it that way. . I don’t take the enhancing medication because it’s really not necessary to have that getting into one brain and it can stay there for a long long time unless it’s really necessary And my neurologist agrees. The scan without medication shows enough to know if lesions are new or old.I haven’t had any active ones since I was diagnosed actually about 18 years ago. If anything changes and I probably would need to have a scan with the mri enhancing medication.
