How can I be less anxious about my MRI with contrast?

@cookiepic I just got back from my MRI and all went well. I think 1/2 of the solution is having friendly, helpful techs, they make such a huge difference! That got me to thinking—maybe you could make an appointment ahead of time to meet the technicians and discuss your fears. It will make a big difference for them to know of your anxiety and how you can work together. Do you think this might work for you?

I called the mri placed this morning and l can't go ahead do to restrictions right now of keeping not there for testing coming in. I also told them l don't feel comfortable getting the contrast as I'm nervous enough and have read about some side effects. One being dizziness which concerns me. When l was going for a neck mri which l couldn't complete it was for purpose of in time if l needed surgery. Yet l didn't need contrast and from what I've read that when contrast could be needed. I also had to go for bloodwork now to check my kidney and liver. MRI place said kidney number was a little low so talk to my pc about it but it's ok to get contrast. That concerned me too.
