Hi, I have been through these tests, it’s a scary place to be is it, I was full of fear and anxiety, all I kept telling myself is if u don’t do this ur never know. I had GA for hysterscopy mainly cis have fear of pain and made it all so much easier. If I can help with anything feel free to bc ask.

Thank you so my much, I've seen the gp yesterday and she was very helpful but I feel I'm stuck, I can't go forward and I can't go back.

She prescribed citalopram, I took one but it freaked me out so stopped.

I was put on them aswell my anxiety was very bad, what is it that scares you ? 

Did they help?

I think I imagined the side effects and panicked more...was told it could get worse before better and I couldn't cope with that. X

Is it ok to ask why the hysterscopy scares u

I took one and panicked, was told he could get worse before better and I couldn't cope with that.

Obviously we are all different but did they help you? X

U are welcome to private message me if I can help u through the fears 

Thank you

Having a General Anaesthetic, but I wouldn't be able to do it without. 

I had to insist on ga, and I’ve got to be honest was so much easier then thought, the lovely nurses saw my stress and talked to me which was lovely, 1 injection and I was out, woke up all finished have a sandwich and drink and of home I went. Things that are unknown set anxiety running, but was so much easier then I thought

Thank you, it does make sense, it's definitely the fear of the unknown. X 

Everyone is stronger then they think they are, you can do this, and the nurses will help you through. The depressants will help ur anxiety they take a good 10/14 days to get in your system whatever helps u is good..be brave u will be looked after xx

Thank you, I'm probably stronger that what I think.

I've booked pre op for tomorrow and informed GP that I won't take tablets but have arranged the above. 

I know it won't go away so I need to get it sorted. X

Well done you xx at this stage u need this hysterscopy..deep breaths be brave and good luck x

Thank you x

I did it, I had General Anaesthetic and hysteroscopy and I got the all clear today.

What a relief, I have now been discharged back to my GP.

Omg I’m so glad all has ended up ok for you xx congrats on ur bravery.. now go enjoy life and look after yourself x

Thank you so much for your help, the staff at the hospital were so lovely when I really wanted to bolt out of the door but I didn't, it feels like it's been a long six weeks or so but I feel very fortunate today. X x 

Tis only when you are in fear or have diagnosis do you realise how precious life really is and how much the people around you matter. Xx I’m glad you came through it, xx
