I don't know why so many people have problems with MRIs. More claustrophobia
than I imagined out there, I guess.

I had one some years ago on my head. For sudden hearing loss, to rule out a
tumor. So they strap me in the machine and try to reassure me that I'll be
alright, no need to panic in there, etc. I just saw a good opportunity to
take a nap. They had to wake me up when it was over.

Needless to say, I didn't fidget.


Just had one this morning - cervical vertebrae. No straps, but the
noise, even with earplugs and being mostly deaf, was too atrocious for
a nap.


I had one a few years ago for the same thing. Unfortunately, they placed a cage of sorts over my head to hold it completely still, then slid me into the machine. I seriously considered punching out for the first minute or so, but I didn't. Worst thing was that it lasted 25 minutes, and I coughed at the very end. They had to run the last 5 minute series over again. Longest 5 minutes ever.
