Getting an MRI

Heather

I have to get 2 MRIs and I'm freaking out. I'm so claustrophobic, my doctor prescribed me something, but I'm worried it won't be strong enough or it will wear off after the first one over. Has anyone ever had an MRI before? Do you have any advice on what to expect or how to get through it? I'm already upset I'll have to pump and dump for a whole day because of the MRI contrast medicine they have to give me.
