I hate MRI's, but I'm claustrophobic, I can't even go to a small state, Rhode Island, no way. When I broke my neck I had to get one, but I was so full of pain meds, I hardly remember it

There is a place on Picardy near OLOL, that has a sitting MRI, you sit in the open between two plates, no bad at all.

It ended up only taking 18 minutes. Wasn't terrible, just weird.

No anal probe.

I had one on my lower back a few weeks ago and one on my brain last week. I just jammed out and cursed my nose for having the worst itch ever as soon as I got put in that tube.

I had to be woken up once because I was having the little twitches as I was dosing off.

I have a permanent retainer glued to the back of my top four teeth...I randomly asked my dentist last time I was in if I could get an MRI with it and they thought I likely could.

I think I'd probably tell the tech or doctors beforehand and just make sure

“Unless you’re claustrophobic “

Close your frickin eyes if you’re claustrophobic.
Then you won’t know you’re in a confined space.
Seems very simple to me.

I couldn't even do that one due to claustrophobia. But to be fair, it was an MRI on my brain and they make you wear a weird cage on your head (maybe that's required for all sitting MRIs though).

I actually had no idea I was claustrophobic....until I tried to get an MRI

They also didn't tell me beforehand that it was going to be like 45+ min in the tube.

Doesn't work. You can still sense how tight the space is.
