Phobic and panicking!! 2

I’m not sure if we’re talking about a dental issue. If it is that, Narnia have you told the dentist of your fears? They must see this week in, week out, and will understand how you feel. I hope it goes well.

It is a dental procedure.
The OP did post about her fear.

I absolutely don't want to make a fool of myself on the day,

You won't, Narnia.

Luckily my dentist is lovely and I have realised that the chat we have before she takes a look is to put me at my ease. I hope yours is the same.

Remember Pam Ayres!

Am having an extraction on friday, had nothing but trouble with one of my back teeth resulting in a dental abscess that felt like a rat was chewing through my jaw and cheek. I also have a phobia but on this occasion just want an end to the pain so will shut my eyes and pray for it to be as brief as possible.
I know how you are feeling Narnia - if this is a dental procedure - but just concentrate on a few hours in the future from your appointment when you will be so relieved and at home.

I m not sure what this is about either Lathyrus I thought it was probably about going in a scanner but sounds like a dental problem
I have a bit of a phobia about dental problems too so totally understand but you have to gird your loins snd pull your big girl pants up and do it

I was like you. I would actually cry in the waiting room.
But the last time this happened was in the late 80s.
He wasn’t a dentist I’d been to before.
He was so kind and understanding I’ve never been frightened since.
It saved me money as well. I would always have private treatment and was given a knockout injection.
You can get over the fear.

I don’t remember your post. Do you mind saying what it is ?

I'll say a prayer for you .
I understand how you feel .
So many people are phobic .
You are not alone.
Most husbands aren't good at being sympathetic . Can you go with a friend?
It's women who are normally more caring .

Last weekend I ended up waiting hours in A and E for emergency treatment and I was alone .
My friends were working or just unavailable. One tried to send her paramedic daughter and another offered her mum (a lady that I've met once).
But that were kind and well meant.
It was harrowing and upsetting .
I was nearly admitted yesterday and might be if my condition doesn't improve .

Get Well soon and God Bless you.
Love ,
Esmay
