suggestions on a mri

[phoneman]

I have tried to have a mri 2times and both times freakout. They even gave me 10 mg of valum the 1st time and 15 mg 3 hours later for the second time.
Both times freaked out. Any suggestions.

[DeadeyeDeb]

Go for 20 mg.

Close your eyes and try to relax. I have had several done and it usually freaks me out also. Tell them to turn the radio up loud and just shut your eyes. It worked for me the last 2 times.

Even an open MRI??

Close your eyes and relax.

The last 4 or so that I've had ... I fell asleep!

ask them if they know of i place with an open MRI instead of getting packed like sausage...

Tell them to give you Xanax. I had panic attacks until they started giving me this, works great! Btw, according to my dr. open MRIs don't give the same resolution as closed.

I do the same thing! I fall asleep listening to the radio. In fact I will be having another one next month.

ask for an open MRI....drugs are good to relax and maybe place a damp warm washcloth over your face....helped me the last time

[OrangeBlood]

or you could just quit being a little girl....

[phoneman]

When it comes to an mri, calling me a little girl is an insult to a liitle girl
