Are you too claustrophobic for a "closed" MRI?

ummmmm...very close, but somehow made it! +5

Close but made it. Mostly it was the damn noise!
-
No, thankfully not. If the doctors want to find something out - so do I. I will sit throw an MRI if I have to and put up with the discomfort.

I had one & I'll NEVER have another one

I doubt it. I flew on small aircraft for hours in a combat zone, enclosed in a small cubicle....had 35mm AA come through the plane many times, crash landed upside down twice. But, I did my duty and kept getting back on the thing. If I didn't, somebody else would have had to. And I was good at my job. We all were. And one of the training courses was to be able to stand being captured and tortured. One of them was being crammed into a small box and being left there for hours. I passed the test...and many others.

Ive had so many MRI's Ive lost count. They don't bother me in the least. I close my eyes and have a nap.
-
No, I've had them done before. I still hate the noise they make though.
-
I've had a few of those..and it doesn't get any better..I am not claustrophobic but they are not something I'd like to experience too often..its the dreadful noise that does it..
-
Not unless I got stuck in it like that episode of Scrubs.
-
Definitely! I was in one for almost an hour and had to keep my eyes closed tight, picturing blue skies above me. I had my eyes open for a few seconds when I first entered it and my heart started pounding like crazy.
-
No. I have had several and have no problem with them except for the noise.
-
I am borderline. Certainly anxiety kicks in when the tray slides into the cavity.
-
Nah, I've done it before and it doesn't bother me.
