Aawwww it will be ok. I hope 🤞 they can give you some pain or anxiety meds to keep you calm & comfy. I know how stressful it can be, as I’ve had several myself. Some that I didn’t feel a thing, others weren’t as smooth, but I nervous every single time, regardless.

Aawwww yay I’m glad you survived. Seee. Do you feel better now? Wow! That sounds exhausting. Oh yeah, I’d be excited for my bed, too lol. Get some rest when you can. Thanks for the update. I was thinking about you.

i feel a lot better after this one than my first one. thank you for the support. i’m back home now. i’m hoping this one gets more answers, all of the suspected diagnoses are going to be life changing but i feel worse not knowing what’s happening lol

That’s good! You’re welcome. Yes, I definitely understand that. One of my biggest fears is of the unknown. I hope that you get all of the answers that you need & the best solution to the problem(s). My inbox is open if you ever need someone to vent to.
