Anyone else watch this video because they have one comming up soon and are afraid? D:
Yes , In the morning.
@@chermayo2190 It's not that bad. I fell asleep.
Me, tomorrow!!!!
Yes😇
Morning tomorrow
I am claustrophobic and have had so many MRI's I cannot even count them all. However, this Friday will be my first brain scan. In a cervical neck scan, they put a cover across your neck which makes me uncomfortable, but I have found that, all in all, if you take the anxiety (calming) meds, and keep your eyes closed, you can do this and will be happy that you did it. The MRI images can really assist your doctors find the issues and help you feel better faster. Good luck to all and don't cancel.
Just had it yesterday--of the head. A "sic-fi torture chamber of sounds" just about says it all. LOUD, clicking, hammering, knocking, banging, screeching--did I say LOUD? Even with custom ear plugs, foam ear muffs over those & then the metal helmet, it was LOUD. There were pauses in between the shattering sounds & three times someone said my name, and "are you okay?" I stayed rigidly still except for a cough that I couldn't suppress any longer. Frightening, but so glad to have this medical masterpiece for all it reveals.
My husband just got one and he's a big guy. Also being claustrophobic didn't help. He wore ear protection and laid down with his head in a helmet thing. Then they pulled the front of the mask down like a window shade. He closed his eyes ...hard. then the noise started. He said it was bad for him anxiety and everything...and he prayed and talked to God. He made it. You will too. CANCER SUCKS. God bless.
I hope you and he are okay.
i get these done twice a year for a brain tumor. it’s exactly like described except it’s a lot tighter space. i feel like i’m inside a coffin. my best advice is to close your eyes and breathe deep and realize it’ll be over as quickly as it started.
had my MRI done today, it was OK..... waiting for my results now 😊
Amazing I am also doing tomorrow and please tell me that your MRI need injection or not as Soon as possible
Got mine done 2 days ago and turns out the reason behind all my headaches for the past 8 years is the fact that my brain is bigger than my skull and it’s pushing up against my nerves so it’s causing me pain luckily they can treat it 😁😁 super easy
How did that treat you ?
What’s the treatment?
What is the treatment please
@@be4stable surgery! The have to remove something from the back of my skull to give my brain more room
This video made it sound so much more pleasant than it is. And that machine also has far more space than most. My shoulders were basically touching each wall. It was complete torture.
😫😫
This machine is very open compared to the MRI machine used on me. Many people here have commented about this machine, referring to claustrophobia without realising that there is a much more compact 90% enclosed machine, as technology advances they improve on things, this machine is part of that improvement.
Before your stupid mouths about dis-respecting those people, consider first, the size of your body, how tall you are how close you are to the top of the machine and the enclosed length of the machine. The machine I had mine done on was a full length enclosed machine, I am 6ft4 and I have to hold my arms above my head to fit my arms and shoulders in the machine, and that so that they could scan my liver last time.
The noise actually sounded fine to me, as it gave a regular rhythm, and while music might be better, some people have remarked as if wearing headphones or ear protection is some arduous task they have to put up with, actually you can do it old school like the rest of us.
I lasted for 30 minutes in a scan that should have taken 10-15 minutes, just when I was about ready to push the button, the test was over, the only thing that helped me in the MRI was being able to look over my shoulder and be able to see the light coming in from the only un-enclosed part of the machine.
Since then my specialists want me to have additional MRI testing for my neck, back etc. this will mean going in headfirst, now put yourself in my position, think of being completely enclosed, like a coffin, unable to breath properly, movement restricted and your face pressed up against the top of the machine, think of my measurements and dimensions...oh and don't think about this little doughnut machine, think about a fully enclosed machine, and then maybe you might feel a little claustrophobic. It is easy for people who do not have the condition to pass judgement on others, it is an act of courage to be able to put yourself through this process when you are genuinely claustrophobic, I couldn't do it, can you?
Solution..Pretend you're Iron man being fitted with upgrades..
Verum Fides same here, mate. I make sure to get 10 mg Valium prior. I have the tech walk me in backward so I don’t see the tube. I lay down, put a washcloth on my eyes, and ask them to turn the fan inside on HIGH. It dries out my sinuses, but if I don’t feel the breeze, it’s like a coffin in there. The cool breeze with my eyes covered makes it mentally easier, and the 10 mg Valium makes me drowsy and drugged. I don’t need calm, I need semi-SEDATED.
Afterward I sit in the waiting room for about an hour before heading home on the subway. That’s just to become more alert after the Valium.
Yea, its not pleasent at all but what can u do??!!😕🤨🤔
So many doctors have told my mom my brother has ADHD, ADD, and OBD. On Wednesday, he's getting an MRI scan to see what's up with his brain. I did research and it turns out his behavioral disorders are caused by the frontal lobe of his brain not developing properly. This is our last resort, before medication, which we are against because it is pure drug. Keep my brother in your prayers please, he's just five.
Okay Taisley 330th
Okayt4yy Taisley 31st d. 2

Okay Taisley did you get any answers from the MRI?
I pray all is well with your little brother.
ADD/ADHD are basically the same thing ? You'd only be diagnosed with one or the other, as ADD is ADHD but without the hyperactivity and OBD is usually linked with ADHD as a co-morbidity - it's not to do with the development of the brain (thats more Autism related and other conditions) as to why those occur , it's thought to be linked with an excessive amount of dopamine being produced in the brain which is why the common treatment is stimulants as they have the opposite effect on someone with ADHD than they do to a person if they were to take them who doesn't have ADHD - though you can get non-stimulant medication for ADHD that doesn't work quite as well but can still have somewhat of an affect (you can also try small amounts of caffeinated drinks to see what affect they have be it that he doesn't intake over 150/200mg of caffeine, or theres therapy sometimes thats offered as an alternative treatment - although if it's not really severe/impacts life significantly then you may well choose to go as you already are). Strange really, usually for something like that, MRI's aren't usually performed because of the cost / other easier ways of confirming diagnosis etc. ? Where are you from may I ask? I have ADHD myself amongst ASD and other complex needs, meds were my first option and I'm glad cause they've made my life much easier. It's not like the drugs illegal if you're getting it for the right reasons and prescribed by a specialist/medical professional :)
Thank you for this video, I'm nervous and appreciated seeing what's going to happen.
I have one tomorrow -no contrast. Yes, I am nervous but I know it only takes a short while and I'll just breathe and try to keep calm. Some Buddhist meditation will help as well. Best of luck to all of you (US!) who need this important test. Sigh.
Awesome! Thank you for this walk through 😊
Thank you Scott!
This is a good video on what happens! Nice job!
Thank you! this was exactly what I was looking for
Mine on Tuesday
This video was very helpful
Samantha G same
I just had a brain and neck mri today. I declined contrast because of the side effects it may cause. It was not uncomfortable at all but the knocking noises do make u feel a little uneasy at times. Depending on images, the machine works in 5 min intervals. Mine lasted 20 min. It's very important that you remain still... even try not to cough... otherwise they'll have to restart that interval depending on where you're at in the exam time. Good luck to you all on your findings.
Can you please help me what problem u were facing
One day, I woke up with severe headaches and became dizzy when I stood up... even while lying down sometimes. Faint feeling. It lasted 7 days straight. Then, I was prescribed Naproxen and it slowly went away. ER doc said it just came from a viral infection/ cold virus that my children recently had. So, everything came back clear. Hope all is well with you.
i have to wait until the second week of January to get my results for my brain mri scan!
had a MRI today and it was good i was alittle nervous but the tech made it very easy she explained every detail. i was given ear phones with good music to listn to and it eased the tension. it is a tight area but i kept my eyes closed. alittle noisey like a jack hammer a few times , i was given a copy of the CD for the doctor and i even joked with her did she include the music on the CD.
jenny durr did not have the MRI my name is Karen Bowie
I'm going to check for my brain next month.
This seems big and like he has a lot of room. The one I was just in was so tight. I felt like I was being buried alive. I had to cancel my MRI. I couldn't take being in the machine. :(
PeriquinTV I just did the same thing. I go tomorrow to an open mri. I hate small spaces
Same omg
Same I just had mine done earlier. It was terrifying but you just had to do it.
@Sammy GG It's a Wide Bore MRI machine. They make them bigger now. You have to go to a facility that has one like the one I'm going to for my MRI in 2wks.
Ok this exact thing happened to me i wasn’t able to do it
I did this today, was not as bad as I thought. Just constricted and bot a bit sore from not moving.
I wish the MRI machine in our hospital looked like this! The opening is about half the size!
Thank u this makes me comfortable in that I'm gonna expect on mine Monday
Howd it go
I'm freaking out....have to go for this tomorrow
Kamu Kamxx how did it go
Seriously it takes 30mins for brain MRI I have one tomorrow 🙏🏼
You don't know how noisy and frightening it is in there. I asked for classical music to be played at maximum volume. And, I spent 2 hours in the MRI machine but all I could hear was the hammer, alarm sounds etc. I don't know how I managed to stay that long. At some point I fell asleep but I think they did it with medication.
I'm going for mine in a few weeks
I'm having it today OMG
I'm very claustrophobic and went for a brain mri I couldn't get thru the mri because I had a really bad panic attack and then hyperventilated.
Thanks
Well said. Mine take an hour.
it was not bad at all it took just a few minutes it lets the doctor know if there is anything wrong
Thanks for the MRI video 😊
I felt locked in with that head thingy. I'm just finding out now, but they're may have been something on my waist. I was never going to be able to do that for 35 minutes. Maybe 10.
I'm nervous.. I have one tomorrow
You're lucky that it likely wasn't as bad as mine when I get mine done this coming Sunday, as it's going to be my first MRI scan, and I'm having my brain and the full length of my spine scanned (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, etc).
Han Solo its easy dont worry just sing songs lol it worked for me
Han Solo p
Han Solo I did mri and during mri, I watched Star Wars revenge of sith. Do you like Star Wars?
Han Solo same here
I recommend an anti anxiety for anyone who is concerned about how they will react. If you're already concerned then I think you may have a problem. One Xanax will do. I was ok until they put that thing over my head. It's like being trapped inside being trapped. I was not sedated but will be next time because it was an anxious 35 minutes.
Do you use the coil for a neck MRI?
Had my brain MRI today. Felt like I was at a horrible EDM event lol.
I have one soon...
i have to get one with and without contrast in 4 days. kinda nervous. dosent look bad though.
The machine uses powerful magnets, and some clothing like jeans, have metal buttons on them which can mess with the machine. Taking your clothes off is just to reduce the chance of you having anything metallic on you :)
Im getting my MRI on thuesday but im afraid i dont know if im gonna make it this is ganna be my first time.... the first time i when to my MRI BRAIN i was so nervious that i couldnt do it but now im gonna try again wish me luck..
Me toco hoy y por 1 hora por un momento tuve que apretar para que me sacaran mi ansiedad estaba avanzando y sentia un calenton por la tinta inyectada 😅 pero lo pude lograr terminar , pude entender en ese momento que si puedo aprender a controlar poco a poco mi ansiedad 😂🙌
must be nice i went though an old one.. where the opening was no wider than your head.. and it went half in meaning shoved my arms like worse than a coffin to my side i could not move
I don't get what the fuss is about, I watched these videos last night and read comments and got myself nervous for the scan today. Then again I'm not claustrophobic, but I did find the scan easy and with the earplugs the sound wasn't loud, and I suffer from tinnitus but it was fine. I was a lot more nervous about the injection which people don't seem to be bothered about. They took three attempts to hit a vein, that was far worse, but I do hate needles, objectively speaking it wasn't particularly painful just made me queasy thinking about a dye entering my body.
yes.. what if you are claustrophobic or for some other medical reason you cant keep your body still??
woff woff yeah, I have that sort of problem that I can’t really keep my body still
I am claustrophobic and I was very scared. I had mine done today. I was given a mirror so I could see my legs and feet which helped a lot. And it only takes about 15 minutes.
i have one today and im so nervous about all my piercing holes closing up after i take off the jewery :/
lou lou I know this is late, but for future medical exams or procedures that require you to remove piercings, get fishing line in the gauge you need and tie it into the piercings. My wife did this for 2 hospitalizations. Fishing line is fine with the hospital, doesn’t interfere with any machinery, and kept her piercings open. One stay was 8 days long. She did need to put in slightly smaller gauge rings when she got home, but after a few days the holes were fully back to normal size. But that was for 8 days. Her shorter stay caused no shrinkage.
It's helpful to have them put a cloth over your eyes, so if you open them, you aren't looking at the cage over your face. Look around and inside the machine before you start. Helps you to realize that it's not a tomb. I can't understand why people can lie down in bed, but they can't lie down in a machine for 30-60 minutes. Nothing bad is going to happen to you while you are in the machine. It's great technology, so just relax, and be happy that there is no radiation involved.
Julie Fleiser right you don’t understand because you
Don’t have claustrophobia
Julie Fleiser it’s just hard. For example sometimes I need to take deep breaths so I use my mouth and that’s a problem I guess. If I avoid that I may faint
Because I don’t have my phone
You don't know how noisy and frightening it is in there. I asked for classical music to be played at maximum volume. And, I spent 2 hours in the MRI machine but all I could hear was the hammer, alarm sounds etc. I don't know how I managed to stay that long.

I needed this today...until I saw the comments...
Can you give an opinion on films of Plain Brain MRI
Is this a wide bore scanner?
Im nervous i have one tomorrow
Were any of you injected a contrast agent when getting a brain MRI? Notice any changes in memory functionality of normal everyday things after that?
Do u feel something strange?
zookey93 I was and I felt numb and really sensitive to everything like loud noises or people yelling I felt like everything was closer like I was being enclosed by everything
Thanks
I had one today, I feel good.
Nameless Spirit welp congratz you have an anxiety
How did it go?
I need an mri done and i couldn't do it today. I didn't think i was claustrophobic until they put me in the machine. I am a bigger women and i felt like I was in a very tight coffin. I had a car accident a few months back and I think maybe my claustrophobia came from that. I wonder if I had like heavy medication for anxiety I'd be okay
Do u get results on that day or so you have to wait. I'm going for one on Wednesday after suffering from a seizure 2 weeks ago. And I am now wetting myself about it.
+Partykerri Hi would you know anyone who is a neurologist who could evaluate some MRI scansets I had done months ago?
I'm almost 15 and I have had at least 10 brain MRI's that were all 45 min.
+Ben Annie Byers bless
+Ben Annie Byers Sorry to hear that dude, hope you are doing well.
Ben Annie Byers I'm 14 years old.
I have health anxiety and want to do this to se if everything is OK I'm only 15
I have these
right today i was laying in there!i was so afraid,but it wentquite okay.i did notopened my eyes jutst not to see where i was
The tech does not want you to hand off your filthy ear plugs to her. Either stick them in your pocket or toss them yourself. And don't be bouncing up off that table like an idiot. Come up slowly. Stand up slowly. She'll help you, but don't give her the plugs.
Which model machine is this?
Hey, she didn't help him off the table! ;) Good, brief video. Thanks.
can we close our eyes .... please .....during the MRI
Why did the patient hand over his used ear plugs to the technologist??
Mine is next week , I am having a head MRI scan. Not looking forward to this :(
Why did my results take longer then a week? ?
Just received my brain results today. My head is crooked as fuck. LoL
Yeah I had the MRI on Wednesday
Yeah today's my results but waiting for tomorrow morning ;)
And my phone is turned off
I have a crazy fear of it 😫😫😫
I hate to sound defeatist but do you really wanna know you only have a year to live?
Mine is in a Few Hours xO
Sir ,Through brain mri can know the neck problem also .please reply.
Qasim Shaikh What?
think you would have to have a spinal one as yours will be for brain only
I had an mri brain scan when I was 3 I wanted to see the pictures but I couldn't see them I was devastated 😠😠😠😠
My doctors flat out refuse to give me one :( iv suffered headaches every day for over a year now. I think there were 3 days I didn't wake up with one. My speech and motor skills some days are appalling. My memory and behaviour has gotten worse and changed according to other people as well as myself. I suffer dizziness and pressure in the head with it when doing anything! But according to my neurologist that's nothing to do with neurology. So iv been bounced back and forth. Laughed at at one point! And messed around for over a year and for nothing. They refuse. So I'm trying to just go private. Gotta love the NHS. Refuse to do it till they pay :(
I've been having headaches everyday for years. I'm getting an MRI this week for it.
Maybe get a new Dr?
lost619 hey, I have the same thing going on with me I will try to tell you the results, I need to get a update on my disorders!
Eat chicken
National Health Service, the advantages of free health care.
My teacher had an MRI once. She hates them.
mine was to be today, but with severe vertigo to lay on the table for 30 minutes and be lightly sedated I didn't do it, cause I CANT lay completely flat no matter being sedated or not I would get sick, wish there was another way to get the scan done I DEFINITELY need to know what's going on with me and these headaches I'm having and what's causing my vertigo :'(
Did you ever get one?
Monica Truesdale there are new machines now that are standing MRI’s. If you can stand up for the exam, ask your doctor to send you to a center which has the new machines. They finally realized that some medical conditions make it difficult, if not impossible for some patients to lay on those tables.
I have one on Monday for my brain and I'm so nervous :(
i know this is a three year old comment haha but i have to get a brain mri thursday and i’m so scared, was it bad???
@@amanadawngthug Ahh, no it's not, and it's ok to be nervous, I've had about 4 since that first comment, it might differ slightly but if your claustraphobic - mention it before you go in or ring them beforehand, let them know - they may be able to give you some breathing techniques and even maybe give you a light sedative to calm your nerves, you basically get called in, and they go over what your there for, general medical history - make sure you don't wear anything like jewellery/metal etc. then get changed into these scrubs they provide, check your height/weight - unless you can tell them, then they sit you down on the bed, and you have two spongey type ear plugs in, then have headphones over the top to help block out the noise - I chose to just listen to the latest hits on Spotify, but you can chose a specific playlist or take your own music usually if you want just to lower the sound (it changes as time goes on - lasts around 40 minutes give or take). Try to keep as still as possible, you go in and theres not a lot of room - but I just concentrated on the mirror which shows you the people on the other side/the part outside the scanner, so I wasn't focusing on being inside a small space... and they usually cover you with a blanket and give you a ball kind of thing to hold, so if at any time - cause obviously they cant hear you, that you do find it gets to much, you squeeze that, and they'll bring you straight out. They usually talk in your ear at short intervals, just iike "your going great, not long now etc." and then giving you a brief idea of what they're doing and so forth. That's how mine have all gone anyway....
@@BethanyProwse thank you for telling us how it went. I have my brain MRI tomorrow. I doesn't sound so bad now, but still I'm scared about it. How far into the MRI tunnel were you?
@@railwayman02 Fully inside the tunnel, same for my spine MRI.
@@BethanyProwse Thanks for your reply. I will not be able to do it then. It's too far into the MRI tunnel for me.
Siemens systems are the best
EDeeire lol nope. GE is the best.
Can an 18 year old go for a brain scan?
Purva Thakkar any age can
Mr Sandwich ty
Purva Thakkar has is vlodips
Had two scans a few days ago. Loud as fuck
Mine one is tomorrow I will update if i survived 😂
Guys i have done it it was really easy nothing to worry about
Tip: just search in youtube mri sounds and put headphones and listen to sounds while close your eyes. It’s just like that. Nothing to worry
Mines Monday
I'm having a brain MRI Tuesday January 26th 2016 and I'm being fully sedated for it
+Tiffany goodie What kind of sedation?
+angelo lazzara idk it makes you go in a twilight sleep.. its for people who have high anxiety
+Tiffany goodie Okay...thanks.
happy one year anniversary since your MRI
Tiffany goodin that’s the way to do it! I always get a prescription for a 10 mg Valium tablet. That’s the only way I can handle these.
Got one on Monday and I am sooo scared :(
you good?
There should've been sitting type one
Is this a Registered Technologist. Also, jumping up from the table like that could land you on the floor from dizziness.
More specifically - is the technologist certified in MRI, and at what level. In radiology of all types, "Registered" or "Certified" are meaningless unless a patient asks very specific questions. Most of the time, the patient is considered difficult for having asked. But it is your body. Nothing is radiology is as simple as washing one's hands. Minimal two-year degrees, plus additional training, experience, etc. and staff able to answer those questions without getting an attitude are vital to ensure quality radiology. The same is true for radiologists. No. They don't all read everything as well as the next Dr. The hell with it. Getting standards in anything these days is like asking a duck to mow your lawn.
Mine is in 2 hours! I'm freaking out, I'm really clostriphobic!! :(
It was okay, I got used to it and was quite comfortable after about 10 mins
How long did yours take?
20 minutes :) ^
Amie Macmillan it was hell for me
that's awful :( did you get to listen to music? I did and it really helped, idk if I could have coped without it
im fukin terrorfied i have appointment in november i been in a ct machine that i wasnt scared but i dont want to go in any stargate
Minds in 2 days
I got one today. Im scared
How was it?
@zzZee13 weird. At first, it feels like your body wants to tear apart. But than after that, u feel relaxed. U want to sleep. But u can't. THE machine makes noises that goes to the attena. It's very loud.
I'm going in for 3 MRI's on 9/3 and I'm nervous. They say it will take 3 hours. Being claustrophobic they have me taking valium. Not sure if I will have any injections before hand. Not cool on them. Wish me luck.
I’m so scared
I have one in an hour!!!!!!😭
Hafsah siddique i hope all was well and you are in good health!
Aie duniya mein bahut dukha hai🙁
Mine was 1 hour..
pretty wahine Mine was 90 minutes. I had brain and spine done with and without contrast. Then, since I enjoyed it so much, I went back for another 90 minute session a week later for my back. It wasn't the best experience I ever had but, I had to get it done.
+1119nj Did the injection of contrast dye hurt? Was is done under high pressure? My scan with contrast is due September.
Mine is happening in 5 days. Contrast-wise, I think that depends on the type of scan (although I'm not too sure). Not too sure if I'm having contrast or not, though, as the appointment letter didn't say whether it would be included or not.
Krishna Surendran you may throw up from the contrast
i had an MRI scan at kings college hospital on wednesday it only took 10 mins
Brain MRI? Tell me time duration
How about sleeping sideways
Cool only takes 5 seconds
