[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 349914, member: 1514"] Linda...I tried that with the open MRI...I went in there thinking I could do it too. I had a horrible time years ago with a MRI machine. Probably when I was 28 or 29. I was having severe headaches and they sent me to a local machine here. This was back in the days with really tight tubes. They got me stuck halfway in the tube...head first. I have always been severely claustrophobic anyway and they didnt even give me ativan or xanax beforehand. I was told by my doctor later they should have checked me out before they even put me on the table with a ring to see if I would fit in the tube. It took them a long time to extricate me and I was just freaking out! Never again! Well...years later I got brave and went to get my knee done at a open MRI up in Fayetteville. I had 20 mgs of valium but I really thought I did well. I was able to sit there and let them do my knee. Of course it was open and they only did up to my thigh! LOL. I thought I had this MRI thing whipped. So when the doctor said I needed a head and neck MRI done I went in with a bit of trepidation but armed with 40mgs of valium I thought I was doing well. Until they strapped me onto the table and put my head in that torture device so I couldnt move...and that stupid machine came down and almost touched my tummy! Then it made a noise and I screamed....I told them I had to pee...right that instant. I made them let me up and I went in the bathroom...grabbed my clothes and ran out of that building like it was on fire. I never went back. I never will. I was standing next to my car waiting for Tony to catch up to me and the technician came out to attempt to talk to me and I told them point blank...There was absolutely nothing that test was going to show that I was interested in seeing. I would rather die. [/QUOTE]
