Tomorrow morning. I've had quite literally at least 30 diagnostic tests/scans done in my 26 years with thanks to my HA. I'm the most scared I've ever been and I am shaking with fear about tomorrow's ultrasound. How do you keep as calm as possible before scans?
Thank you,
Lucy
Lucy what are you having an ultrasound for?
Why so many for you?
Honestly the only thing to do now is keep busy and keep your mind occupied.
I'm right with you on this though, I hate medical tests.
My heart goes out to you. I know the fear all too well — it’s overwhelming. I have to get some tests this winter and just thinking about it makes me want to puke. On the plus side, ultrasound results are usually available pretty quickly. And chances are you will get some good news and soon have peace of mind. I know it’s hard when you’ve convinced yourself of the worst, but hang in there just a little longer — your mind is playing tricks on you. This will all be over with soon. <3

I'm still having pain so will go back to GP but at least I know right now it's not what I feared. I hope yours go just as well.
Oh thank goodness he was able to reassure you.
My last ultrasound was a female issue, I was told right then and there, it was nothing bad... I could have kissed her.
They do this work every day and know their business, I hope you feel better about it now.
