I made it through just fine. I had no problems and the brain and cervical spine were done in less than an hour. My mom took me out to breakfast afterward and it was so, so nice to spend that time alone with my mom. I truly enjoyed that.

Mariel - A washcloth over my face/eyes would freak me out. All I need is the mirror. The noise of the machine doesn't bother me too much. I sometimes find it relaxing as well as it is somewhat rhythmic. What bothers me is the closed in feeling of the tube. I pray to God before being slid in that none of my body parts touch the sides of the machine but Ativan or not, that would freak me out so bad. Also, I'm sorry you have such bad experiences with the CT scan.
