I'm very sorry to hear about the abuse your suffered as a child. Thank you very much, I'll ask for a newer machine, or the biggest machine they have, because I'm well over 6' tall and around 265 pounds.
I've never tried a sedative, but now that I'm older, I might just asked see if they'd provide one.
Thanks again!
Jeffrey.

@woundedbear64 I’ve been claustrophobic for most of my life. I knew that I would never make it into the MRI without full blown panic so whenever I have one (it’s only been a few times) I asked the order physician about sedation. The last time I had an MRI (two years ago) they had Ativan ready for me. It worked very well and I was able to get onto the platform without hesitation for the MRI. Medical personnel are pretty used to these requests. If a medical provider doesn’t want to prescribe sedation or doesn’t think you need it on this one time basis I’d be talking with a different provider.
