I do so wish I could feel like this FG. I never even knew I was claustraphobic until I started having MRIs, and although not badly upset by them I'm sure glad they're over when time's up!

I never have felt sleepy during the session, and music and ear plugs have never made any difference for me either. I must have concentrated on every rat-atat-tat, because I found myself counting each one of them and working out how many there were until the next phase of the films as each cycle went through.

This last time I was offered some Valium, and I accepted. Very first time ever I'd taken a sedative and the whole thing went like a dream. I wish I'd accepted sooner because this was my easiest MRI yet.

I know how I'll be doing my next one as well.
