Hi @woundedbear64 I’ve had several head to tail MRIs at Rochester over the past few years. The latest machine reduces the time by a half hour so that’s cool. Also, since your appointment is coming up on Tuesday, you still have time to get a prescription for Ativan (Lorazapam). It’s a mild anti anxiety med that works really well for the claustrophobia!
It comes in .5mg tablets. My orders are to take 1 table an hour before the appointment. Then another .5 mg tablet 1/2 hour before the appt.
Then take one last pill while in the reception room!

From my experience, you really will feel so much more at ease and I’d bet it won’t bother you at all! But don’t delay. Either call or get to the portal asap so you can pick up the med at your local pharmacy or at one of the Mayo pharmacies in Rochester at the clinic. ☺️

Go into your patient portal and write a message to your provider! It’s not too late.
