@haleyschuler8: Request a wide boar machine! This was SO MUCH better than the regular mri machine (it’s a bit bigger so I wasn’t squeezed in there!) and obvi took a Valium and I requested to go in feet first which was MUCH BETTER. shout out to my girl Valiuma, she the real mvp 💃🏻 #motherhood #mri #medicalanxiety #claustrophobia #sahm @Lindsey Gurk

Not claustrophobic but I’ve previously had brain surgery and the back of my head is 100% not smooth or level and it’s ridiculously uncomfortable to lay on, yet I get to have a yearly MRI to watch for any potential changes post-op. I’ve tried to talk them into a pillow but the most I’ve gotten away with is a folded washcloth because I still have to fit in the little head cage thing. 😔

i found out i was claustrophobic just by thinking of cave diving like absolutely not . then i think about being stuck in an elevator or stuck in my car after an accident… my brain is not a safe place apparently 😂

I used to be DEATHLY afraid of the dentist. And now that I’m a mom- I’m like “ok cool. This isn’t that bad” motherhood really does change you.

same here! the last one i had, the lady told me how long each scan was since they do several. it made it seem more like small bites rather than a whole appointment.

My husband has to use a wide bore machine too or else he can’t make it 2 mins in a regular machine. He said the wider ones are so much better

I had an MRI and I was only put in halfway but all the noises and the small movements made me feel horrendous for the entire rest of the day. It was so disorienting

Girl I’m currently stressing because I have a head one next week and I’m extremely claustrophobic. But my brain needs some pictures taken. She thinks she can act up and get away with it. 😭😭
