The first MRI I had I remember the tech saying "if
you have a problem just wiggle your toes", ya sure! :)
The 2nd MRI was at
a different hospital that did was not setup with a special ventilator that
could work near the MRI machine so the paramedic had to manually "bag" me
while monitoring my oxygen level. I kept my eyes closed and got so relaxed
that I almost fell asleep, even with all the noise.

Hi
Sharon,
I'm
claustrophobic too, so naturally dreaded the thought of an MRI. Then,
last year whenever I was back in the hospital, one of the nurses told me
that if I put a dry white washcloth over my eyes, that it would help with
the claustrophobic feelings. Though I did't think it would help, I was
very surprised to find that it actually worked! Sharon, I actually ended up
going to sleep in there and was shocked whenever they woke me up and I
discoverd that it was all over. Whenever I think back to all of my
earlier MRI shenanigans....*Nurse, pull me out! Help! Get me
outta here, I can't take it!*......I'm sooooooo mebarrassed.
My last lumbar puncture wasn't done
under the floroscope. Maybe that's why they allowed me to be
bent.
