Well, went to my Dr. today, he did alot of foolish tests, one being a breathing test (because I am asthmatic) that was fine. So he referred me to an ENT Dr., I have an appointment for Wednesday morning, for that scope thingy up my nose-down my throat! I told Dr. that I thought I could'nt do that! I know I have to- BUT- I am such a spazz when it comes to putting tubes up & in me--- eewwwww! I will take a anti-spaz pill before I go, because I know that is the only way to find out what is going on !!! Oh lordy !!

Has anybody here had that scope thingy done before- please tell me it is'nt that bad!!! I know that they will spray a numbing solution up my nose- ewwwww I can't even do nasal sprays-- I gag!

Oh boy, I will try not to think about it! Instead I will think about my poor DD- she is back at the Dr's as I type this- awaiting her call, she has been there for awhile-hope she not at the hospital & does not want to call me- told SIL to call me if she does not !

Well, o.k. that was enough of a rant !!

Glad you're ok & went to the doctor hon.
This is a good thing really ..
Have not had one so not familiar.
Looks like some others shared with you.
Hopefully it won't be bad & it will lead to answers.
Keep us posted on it all please :)

I've had 2 different kinds of scopes. For one, they gave me conscious sedation, where I didn't remember it afterwards. :) In the other one, they had to do it very slowly & gradually. They kept giving me sips of water & telling me to swallow. They had told me that it would only make me gag at one particular spot (they were going down my throat gradually) and they were right. Other than that one spot, it wasn't real awful. Good luck!

I've had that done a couple times, but it wasn't bad.
