MRI the scariest thing
So yesterday I went and did an MRI I am living with pain night and day it’s like a part of me now
I was getting all my treatment back in new York so it's being a while now since my last treatment so the pain is getting worse moving to Florida 8 months now so it's been a while since I get some treatment
So now I finally found a doctor here in Florida my worse nightmare when he told me that I need to a different MRI I was like, why but I had to so yesterday was my MRI appointment
Omg am still feeling sick from that MRI machine I was in the machine for an hour the Lady wants me to do them part by part and come back different days
but I was like if am here and scared of this invention I would just do it all and get it over with so it's three parts my back my right hand and shoulder
This lady was super nice but it was just this casket MRI machine
I think this MRI is the worse ever why can't they have something as effective and efficient but not a casket that you have to slide up and down with this noise and you are not dead I hope that they will cut this one out am still feeling sick so now am not only in pain am feeling sick as well I don't think that I will ever get back in an MRI machine
No no
Oh boy
Just. Sharing

I have never experienced an MRI but my daughter is claustrophobic and has to get them regularly. I share your pain. I am anxious everytime she has one

Hi
This is nothing to do with WA.
I'm sorry, lots of people get MRIs, and many have them weekly due to illnesses.
Personally I dont want to be reminded of what it's like having an MRI I would much prefer reading something inspiring.
This is not Facebook.
This is a network for WA.
I dont want to sound mean at all but include something about WA when you are writing these posts.

Oh no! That sounds terrible. I have an MRI (and a CT scan) scheduled next week. I've never done either before. I'm not too worried, but maybe I should be? Eek.

I would say don't think about it,
Just pray and don't move because it will last longer
Am I am really scared of it
You might not have that kind of effect
Or better yet
Asked for medication that Laura said that will help you to relax
All the best

I think I'll be OK. I'm actually kind of excited because I think medical technology is interesting. haha

Dont be worried, yes it is a new situation but you do not need to worry, that's why posts like this are not ok in WA, we are not here to scare people, inspiration is much more positive.
You will be fine

Hi Janet,
I'm mildly claustrophobic and when I had my MRI first, I could feel the anxiety coming on rapidly. My breathing started quicken and was feeling like I was going to run out of air to breathe.
What helped me was reciting of the Lord's prayer. I kept on repeating it until I became very calm. I was so relaxed that I almost fell asleep.
Hope this helps.

I really think they should be different ways and cut out the casket one lol lol next time
If if I will try that see it I will sleep
Thanks for leaving your comments
Appreciate It
Thanks again
Janet
Sophia, That sounds like a horrible experience. Did you know they can give you medication to help you stay calm while you have the tests?
Next time if you do choose to do one tell them you are claustrophobic and need premedication. They will give you something to relax you.
Laura
See didn't know this
Else I would have asked for it
Am not going back no no
Thanks really appreciate it

Hey Janet,
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. However, I'm not able to identify with your experience as I have never done one before.
I can only imagine you were facing a lot of anxiety. Some persons feel closed-in while in the scanner.
You could have requested air plugs for the noises, as this is normal. The loud tapping or thumping sound is the coils that generate the radio frequency pulses when activated.
I hope you will be feeling better soon and that life will return to normal. I'll keep you in my prayers.
All the best.
The Lady was so sweet she gives me a headset and an earplugs
But because I was scared to me it was the same
Thanks for your comment
All the best
Thanks again

Sophia, I think I can relate. I am very claustrophobic and can not handle closed MRI machines. It produces panic to even try. An open machine works okay for me, especially if someone keeps talking to me. Another option is to have drugs prescribed, but I have not tried this. Good luck! I understand.

Yes Sophia. Ihave heard from a friend of mine who says they're the scariest thing he's ever experienced. I hope everything goes well for you. All the best. Jim
