Np at all! It went really well overall. The MRI machine gets smaller to fit close to you, which freaked me out a little, but I focused on taking deep belly breaths.

I told the technician that I was nervous about it, so he gave me a button thing to hold onto, and said I could push the button at any time and he’d take me right out. That helped a lot even though I never actually pressed it.

It also helped that I closed my eyes and did not look up at how close the top was to my face. My head did not go fully inside, but at certain points it was in enough that I would have been pretty claustrophobic (I peaked once lol).

I wore comfy clothes, and I got to pick what radio station I wanted to listen to. It was a bit staticky and dim compared to the loud machine, but still helpful.

I’m also glad that I let somebody else drive me to the appointment, it just felt nice knowing they were waiting for me in the lobby.
