I am glad to hear you had a good expirience.

I have had MRI's in a closed machine, open flair, sitting up, does not matter, I have an anxiety attack! Medicated or not, panic! I can feel my palms starting to sweat just thinking about it!

The problem is, not so much the machine. Sitting up is wonderful however, no matter what, they enclose my head and that means anxiety of the panic variety every time. Plus, I cannot see a dang thing without my glasses on. That just adds to the freaking out.
Continue the good work.
