Hi Is anyone using the site living in the UK? I have read many positive posts about endoscopy but all are outside of the UK. I am to have mine done in two weeks and terrified. I wonder if anyone can share their experience in case it is different in the UK. Thanks in advance M

Hi Sorry, I don't know how to start a new thread!!!! Can you help? M

Thank you I didn't think of doing that M

I have been reading these positive messages...thank you. I have my endoscopy in three weeks and my anxiety is already at a maximum. I have been told even with sedation I will feel everything. Someone also said you are 'pinned' down but the nurses. I am really scared. I know the results could be even more scary but I can't move beyond freezing when I think...

I have been reading about Celiac and some of the symptoms are similar to those I am experiencing. This is of course not to say I have the condition. Thank you for the information, it has helped regards Minny

Thank you for the replies I have not been tested for Celiac so perhaps I am on the wrong site. I am reaching out and in my haste I have not understood the site is for those with this condition. I am sorry for any inconvenience to anyone. In reply to the message above, I am taking medication for my anxiety and I try other holistic therapies. Thanks...

Hi This is my first post and I am feeling a little embarrassed. I have to have an endoscopy (not had my appointment yet). Already I am not sleeping with fear. I have medical phobia which I have tried different ways to control but it always gets the better of me. I am so scared I will be asleep, feel what is going on, but not be able to move or do anything...
