First MRI coming up, any advice?

I'm getting my first MRI done soon. Anyone have any advice in what to expect or what to do to prep?

Yeah I agree with everything but I don't think it's that's bad. Does kinda suck though and just have to get through it

I’ve had a bunch of MRI’s here and there and one thing I recommend is seeing if you’ll be under anesthesia or awake. Though because you’re in your 20’s I’m guessing they’ll want you awake. I’ve only had one or two awake ones and the machines are extremely loud, they will give you earbuds but they don’t work well for me.

Something they didn’t tell me is that they give you this pill that makes your digestive system like paralyzed during the imaging, but then when it kicked back in later I was throwing up and felt so sick!
