Have you ever been inside a MRT machine? I recently was. It took almost an hour!

Yup one time for like three hours most painful experience of my entire fucking life and I have a pretty high threshold for pain but that wasn’t it man what’s worse I couldn’t move at all i wanted to scream it was so damn bad

Nope. Only CT scan for dental appointment. Ultrasound and x rays for other stuff. That’s all.

Yes. The guy running it said the noise of the machine will sound a bit like German techno. Whenever his voice came through instructing me to take a deep breath in and stay completely still, it took all my willpower because he sounded exactly like Bear Grylls, and along with the "techno" noises, it made me want to chuckle.

Yeah, in 1999, the first time I had a psychotic episode, my mom insisted the hospital perform an MRI scan on me to make sure there was nothing wrong with my brain.

I guess I've only had fourplay with an MRI/MRT machine - I've only gone in a little bit. But yeah it takes a lot longer that you'd expect and while you have hearing protection its surprisingly loud (like you can feel it through your body). Anyway I hope you're ok.

An MRI machine? Yes. Many times! It does take a long time. Sometimes I'd bring in music for them to play to make it more bearable.
