I heard so many terrible stories about the MRI monster...people freaking out, screaming in terror....etc. so I did not really know what to expect. Well, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the ride!
I am not claustrophobic at all. I like to be cocooned, so I found it cozy and comforting.
The noises were really surprising to me. I expected it to be loud and lots of jerking about and turning and in and out...but it was not so bad. There were lots of noises...and they reminded me of those car alarms that change their tone every 10 seconds or so. The MRI was like that. Every few minutes the sound would change. You never knew if you were going to get the beep beep beep...or the bbbbbbb bbbbbbbb bbbbbbbb...or the whoop whoop whoop....or the simple rrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrr....it was fun.
I tried to imagine what all the sounds were like...ambulance siren, truck backing up, food processer, broken garbage disposal, etc.
The trick is to ensure you are very comfortable at the start. Since you cannot move for the duration, and mine was about 50 minutes, you really have to be comfy. I tried to fall asleep but the noise is too distracting...but I relaxed and took it all in and enjoyed the experience!
Yes, I am a little strange!
