So I had 2 MRI appointments this month. Actually last Tuesday and This Monday. Both times were horrible. First time I felt sick for some reason after solution to clean IV was injected…oh and person said I flinched and missed vein so had to insert IV needle in other room before that. Then being inside that machine, it’s claustrophobic. All you can see is the white top of hole your body is in. The nose is nonstop banging and beeps that are like you’re buried alive in a construction site.

Today the MRI machine over heated. Before I even went in. Had to wait 30…40 minutes. No phone. Nothing to do. I was in a hospital gown. Then I was in the machine. I had to press help button. It felt like my bones were being cooked. I was so hot. Then machine over heated again. Luckily they let me out and I sat down in Room next to MRI until I had to go back.

Both times I had pain from uncomfortable pillow positions and ears being pressed (like wearing headphones for to long) the contrast solution makes you feel like throwing up. I was in machine for a LONG time.

I honestly felt like even longer. Then fear kicks in. What if I ’ve been abandoned in here? What if they (MRI technicians) disappeared. I’ll be trapped in here forever. I know that wouldn’t happen but my paranoia kicks in. I wanna cry but don’t.

Another bad MRI experience was years ago. It was more waiting. Hours and hours. IV stuck in my arm because person that does them was going home. 9 hours later I finally got inside. Though as a kid it wasn’t as bad because least my mom was there.

Felt like venting. Maybe it would help me sleep not thinking about being trapped…
