I need to have a head MRI but I am really worried about going in there and about the cage thingey they close your head in. I've had several back MRIs and just about managed these, although they put me feet first so my head was closest to the exit. I assume now I will need to go head first.
I told my doctor and he seemed a bit dismissive, told me I'd be fine and I had to insist that I was not going to be fine and would probably not manage to do it. Finally he gave me a prescription for Atarax and Tranxene. Is that going to be enough to zonk me out? I am worried that because he dismissed my fears he prescribed something really mild!
Has anyone managed to make it through a head MRI even though they are scared of enclosed spaces? Any tips?
