hey for anyone who is scared to have a MRI scan done its really not that bad. Trust me i cried as i was put in but closed my eyes and didnt open them until i was out of it 20 mins later. I was put in upto my waist and the noise is like a washing machine,made me jump at one point lol but theres nothing scary bout it,i got quite used to it,nearly fell asleep was just dozing hehe. it didnt feel like that long,felt like i was in there half the time which is gd. they didnt talk to me at all which i preferred to be honest as just listened to my own music i brought in for them to put on, (michael buble lol xmas songs). i also had my mum there to hold my hand,and yes im 26 lol felt well silly after,but it helped at the time. before i went i took 2 diazepam and they did help to calm me down. Anyone going for one just close ur eyes, try control ur breathing, and take ur own music which makes u happy and relaxed. just pretend ur laying on ur bed or somewhere u feel comfortable. if i did it u can. good luck to anyone reading this who has one,ur be just fine!! So proud of myself x
