“Cerebral MRI is an unpleasant thing to go through.”

I’ve had two.
One after a bad accident. A kid ran a stop light and T-boned me at high speed. Felt like my head bounced around for hours.
Gad another years later after I retired and started having seizures.
Neither time was it more than just a little noisy. The first time I almost went to sleep. The second time they played whatever kind of music I wanted to help pass the time.
No big deal.

I’ve even had nerve tests done on my legs due to my neuropathy. First they shock your leg at different places and watch what happens on the computer.
Then they use long thin needles hooked up to the computer to listen to your nerves.
The doctor had warned me that it was painful and most people couldn’t take the test from start to finish.
I wash cracking the techs up I was joking so much!
“Hey doc, you get to taser people all day AND GET PAID FOR IT?? SIGN ME UP!”
The tech with the needles was a real hottie. I said something along the lines of meeting me after work and oh yeah, bring the needles.
She had a wicked grin so who knows...maybe she would have.

I have a cerebral MRI every year. They aren’t fun…they are more tedious.

I have also had the neurological test on my leg. Every time they jolted me the tech would say, “Sorry.”

I told her if the test was going to go one for a while I was going to get tired of her apologizing for something that wasn’t her fault.

We laughed. Then she shocked me again. And then said, “Sorry.”

Well, maybe you gave her an extracurricular career idea...

I told two other posters that I have had full-body MRIs every six months for five years. I did not find them to be ‘unpleasant.’ Like you, I usually doze off during the MRI.
