Hey,
I had one a few years ago.. all I can say is just do your best to be calm.
I worked myself up so much over it, I was in tears on and off until it was over (I ended up waking up to a bleeding bottom too! Which sent my anxiety right through the roof..(think it was just piles! Tmi, sorry..) but that anxiety was on top of what I was already feeling so I wasn't calm and I was just so petrified and so the sedative didn't touch me..
The actual thing isn't pleasant, but it should give you some answers so its worth it.. Just take an ipod with you maybe, perhaps they will let you use it, practise your breathing and stuff. I just lost it and was a complete mess!
You'll be fine, you're a much stronger person than me for starters. You'll be writing in your blog tomorrow night how it was easy and/or not as bad as you expected.
Good luck. I know how horrible it is living with unexplained stomach pains.. After 4 or so years of it I can safely say that I sympathise!

sorry, just read that back and I dont think it sounds right..
I just made it a bigger thing than it was, thats all.. I didn't mean it to sound like it was a nightmare, it was my own doing and I wouldnt want anyone handling it like I did. Just try and go in with the right frame of mind, be as calm as you can. You *will* be fine.. you can do it and be ok.
My Nanna has one and she said it was fine, she couldnt care less.. I saw men and women, old and young coming and going and looking fine, I was the only one going to bits!
Seriously, you'll be fine.
xxxx.

Gorgeous...stunning...i still love it now, rammed upstairs in the loft, screwed up in a ball somewhere :) Don't i look happy? Unfortunately by the end of the day, i was crying!

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug...
