    I dont really have claustrophobia, but before I first stayed in a capsule hotel in Japan, I was worried for a few weeks before that I would freak out staying in the capsule. But it turned out to be much bigger than I thought it would be and had no problems.

      Was the Hotel Nikko full?

      You were warned.

        Very, very stupid question. But can you just close your eyes (maybe even have foam earplugs in) and try to forget what's happening? Fears are real things. My dad can't drive over a decent sized bridge. One time he made me, when I was 15 and only had a freakin' permit, drive across the bridge that connects mainland north carolina to the outer banks.

        Anyway, here's to a speedy diagnosis and treatment!

        That is the only way I managed. They put earphones on me, they played 70’s easy listening music 😄(which is drowned out by the massive noises of the machine) and i closed my eyes as they rolled me inside. As long as I didn’t open my eyes I was fine. The drugs helped a LOT.

          Sorry that you’re going through this with your neck and back. I have a friend with similar chronic issues with the same.

          Only had one MRI and that was five and half years ago. I remember the mechanical noise- but dosed off anyway. Can’t say that I have ever experienced claustrophobia although I doubt whether I would ever take up spelunking as an adventure vacation.

          Elbows up!

                Jodi, I hope and pray you get well ASAP. Those (it seem) random pains that nag and nag are difficult to live with. But doctors (ok, sometimes) do good stuff, so here's hoping they do a good job and make you better really, really soon.

                      Don't knock the coffin until you try one.
                      Many spend the longest times in one.
                      Though admittedly there are also many would rather burn in an oven. 🤷

                      Yes, I slept in one of those capsules in a capsule hotel in Tokyo too. It's an experience alright.

                      Get well soon, @jodi. 🙂
