I had my first/last biopsy over/about 20 years ago. I passed out while getting dressed and fell into the "tool tray" as well! I'm recently (a few months ago) HPV positive and dodging phone calls and even a certified letter to return. I feel like I don't have a choice/triggering memories of past sexual abuse on top of passing out the last time. I know what I should do, but I can't. I' rather die; not kidding/exaggerating. I absolutely won't do it without getting drugged or knocked out. Klonopin that I take for panic attacks gets me through pap smears. I need more! I don't know how to find a doctor/OBGYN that deals with this. Three years of therapy got me to go for a pap after 5 years of avoiding; little more. Has ANYONE ever found a OBGYN that accommodates? Please reply. I want to be put out!!! If insurance won't cover it, I'll pay for it. That's what I do for dentists. I won't go back until I find something I can deal/live with. If I have cancer, and more procedures... I'd rather die. I can't be the only one! I can't find anyone that has gotten around "just having the procedure-as is." Not an option for me.
