I had the exact same mri that you are having about a year and a half ago. It wasn't that bad. I had contrast solution with mine in an IV in my arm so I was more nervous about that. The test takes maybe half an hour. At mine they offer to play music for me, but I decided no. It is a very noisy machine with lots of clunking and grinding noises. They said that's what it's supposed to do. They put things over your ears and what resembles a catcher's mask over your face. It's important to lay as still as possible when they say to (usually when the machine is making noise). It's hard to move anyway with all that stuff on your head. There is a squeeze bulb panic button that you hold on to also so if there's a problem you squeeze it and they can talk to you through a microphone and get you out right away. Don't worry though. It's the easiest test I've ever had to have done and I've had a lot of those digestive tests. Just relax and take deep breaths. Close your eyes and think about good things.
