This is kindof long. . . In a couple of weeks (so I have plenty of time to get nice and nervous) I will be having endoscopies. This will be the most invasive procedure I will have ever had. I am worried about freaking out. I can hardly deal with a basic physical exam. When I met the specialist I was supposed to go over all of my medical issues. I forgot to mention my seasonal allergies. I mentioned my depression, but thinking I was just going to talk to the doctor because I was there for a consult (don't know where I got this idea?) I didn't mention my PTSD. Now I think it might come up as an issue as I can't deal with people touching me. I don't have any appointments before the procedure. After the physical exam and when she told me that I was going to have to do this, I was slightly out of it from being examined and didn't think of brining it up as I could barely deal with the information she was giving me. What do I do now? I know they are going to be giving me some sort of seditive to knock me out partly, but I don't know what that is going to do to my anxiety or how much I am going to be able to control my usualy jumpiness. Any advice?
