@frouke Thanks. I have access to sedative meds, but the amount I would need is well beyond the maximum Mayo Clinic allows.

@rotate I also have Ativan for anxiety and it’s fairly helpful but I use too many for the MRI and it ruined test because I moved around too much, when they rescheduled me for another MRI I was given the larger open machine and it was completely tolerable to get through it with just one pill, believe me it is all about the type of machine that they have, I have been told by people who don’t suffer from claustrophobia that they can’t get into the older more confining machines.
