tree, i had a brain mri and they said you can take an anti-anxiety pill about a half-hour beforehand. but you have to bring your own meds! i thought they were going to give me something but they didn't do that. i'm not claustrophobic but lying so still was hard. i had to have a second one done months later because i moved a tad. oops! the insurance company probably loved me for that. of course you have to have someone drive you home if you take meds but since hubby will be with you you've got that covered. it would be good to look into whether or not you can get it done where it's an open mri. most these days are not totally enclosed i think. mine wasn't. it wasn't bad. don't put it off!
