more MRI fears

Deary me, I think I'm going mad worrying about my upcoming MRI scan.
Filling out the questionnaire, I ticked no to never having metal in my eyes. Then I got to fretting, I did a metalwork workshop as part of my MA 3 years ago, what if I got more tiny particle of metal in my eye and didn't notice! Dr Google says this can happen! (note to self, stay away from google)!
Anyone else think like this, or am I a lost cause?

do you get so anxious about other things or is just the MRI scan setting you off?

If you really think you have metal fragments in your eyes, tell them and they will X-ray you before the mri.

I have always been the anxious type, lately it has escalated to ridiculous levels due, possibly, to the overwhelming grief I am suffering after the death of my dog.

If you didn't notice, it will have just washed out again. They are only looking for large bits (which you would really have noticed going in) which would cause damage coming out

@CMOTDibbler not really true , any piece of metal can heat up or migrate and cause damage .

Tell them, and let them make the judgment
