I went for the same scans last week. I was a bit worried because I didn't really know why I was being sent for them - I only got diagnosed a year ago so don't know the routine. Turns out it's just to keep a check on it all. I find them quite relaxing to be honest, the repetitive noise and vibration is quite soothing. But then again, I could sleep on the back of a galloping hedgehog.

My way of dealing with MRI is to treat it as a time to relax and chill. This was not always the case in the early days! I started listening to white noise at bedtime which I find soothing. So now when I’m wheeled into the tube, I go without the headphones, and the white noise of the machine lulls me into a doze and I let my mind slip away to a happy place.
