Need advice about 1 1/2 hour MRI- UPDATE

So I have an MRI tomorrow at 6 pm. Tried to get one in the morning but there was nothing. I have to get 2 MRIs 45 minutes each back to back and was told I have to get there an hour early to drink barium, blah I'm feeling anxious, I'm not claustrophobic, I just don't like the idea of staying completely still for 1 hour and half.
They said they'll be able to see any fistulas on the MRI. Does anyone know if I can bring an MP3 player or something? I'm also anxious to see the results.

UPDATE- So I finished my MRI about an hour ago. And boy was it hard. I had to drink 3 bottles of Barium Sulfate and I was super nauseous by the end. The MRI lasted 1 1/2 hour from start to finish in the machine. No breaks. OMG, it was like a torture chamber. My head was not in the machine. I had to lay on my belly with my arms up and my legs bent up as well. They put this plate like thing on my back and coils on each side of my body so I couldn't move. They gave me some headphones with music but most of the time I could not hear the music as the machine is extremely loud. Some of the times it vibrates. But the worst part was having to hold in my breath so many times. By the time I was finished my head was throbbing( still is) and I was sweating. During the MRI I wasn't anxious at all, just exhausted. And my neck hurts but it's worth it to see what's going on.
They gave me a CD with my images but I can't read it all. I can't tell what almost anything is. All the pictures look really weird. So I'll have to wait for my dr to tell me the results. Oh well now to sit and wait.

My son had a MRI of the abdomen and small bowel in September,they did not give him anything to relax him as you need to be able to hold and release your breath when they instruct you to do so.

All the best tomorrow.

I just had one done a week ago Friday. I had to drink three 12 ounce bottles of lumenol, which wasn't very pleasant, but I got it all down. The worst part of the MRI for me was having to hold my breath for 20 to 25 seconds, over and over again. It was required at least 20 times and I was really out of breath when it was finished. Staying still isn't that hard to do. They give you pillows and a blanket to make you comfortable.

I have a Daughter your age. She's had an MRI, and is now getting another one done very soon.

Of all the diagnostics for this type of Crohn's, ie:Colonscopy and SBFT, the MRE is by far the most comfortable.

Other than having to injest the contrast solution, which you can have in any drink of your choice, there isn't any discomfort at all.

You won't have your head enclosed, but you will have to wear headphones, since the machine is very loud.

You should make it through with no problems at all.

Please post your results when you get them.

Never had an MRI, but did have a HIDA scan which is 2 hours (1 hr x 2) of complete stillness. Each hour you are unable to move at all and must be completely still. You get a short break in the middle, but its very boring and torurous when your already hurting.

Hopefully your MRI goes well.

The last one I had on my lumbar spine I took xanax prior as I am claustrophobic. They also gave me earplugs but it was still very noisy. Did they say you would be in the machine that long or that you had to be there at the site that long?
