A member asked:
I am autistic. i need my first mammogram. i have sensory issues with touch. could i listen to music on my ipod? what other options are there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are options: Things that are calming can certainly help with this. If music calms ou, listening to music is a great idea. Also, short acting anti-anxiety medications like xanax (alprazolam) (there are many others) can also help you handle this experience. Discuss your sensory issues with the doctor referring you to your mammogram and they should be able to help.
