It is hard to 'get your head around' but, after 11 years with MS, and about 20 MRI's, I have learned to 'meditate' inside them - I just focus on my breathing. If my nose starts to itch, I focus (hard) on my fingers/toes and so on. I count my breaths and close my eyes.

Sure, it gets easier with time and practice. I have only had closed MRI's with differing strength, but I have had lots of CAT scans too (not MS related). The cage does bother me, but you do get used to it.

I hope you get the answers you are looking for.

Welcome to this site, it is full of caring, compassionate and knowledgeable people.
