I'm sorry this is so frightening for you. And although I've spent many hours in MRI's (sometimes my bi-yearly studies are 3 hours at a time and they always put my head in an extra "cage" to keep it still since they are taking images of my brain) I am fortunate that only once did I feel overwhelmed by the experience. Nothing dramatic happened...I just focused on my breath and calmed myself. Years ago I suffered from terrible panic attacks...so I can understand exactly how powerful your fear must be. One thing I do while in the machine is listen to the "noise". I try to hear it as words being spoken...really if you pay attention to the rhythm after a while it starts to form a pattern that could be interpreted as words...I also meditate, focus on my breath. Often the repetition of the noise will put me to sleep. The important thing is that once the test is done the doctors can figure out how to treat you appropriately to relieve you from your pain.

I will be thinking of you and praying for your healing.

Good write up,but give attention to your health.

I can relate to your post (to some extent) since I'm also claustrophobic (actually closed spaces and darkness combined freak me out the most!).

But in your best interests, it's better to convince the "non logical paranoid section" of your brain otherwise, before things get a lot worse.

Hmmmmm...
