I have had the nursing team HAMMER me with massive amounts of meds. versed/demerol valium and tons and tons of other cocktails, but alas releif isnt to be found. I cry! My claustrophobia was never ever this bad till I started Copaxone. It went wild while on that stuff, and it hasnt left me even tho I have stopped taking it. They literally have given me enough drugs to knock down a small village and I am wide awake, wide eyed, and full of fear.

I know they only want me to lay down. Just lay down! Close your eyes and lay down. Trust me I have given myself every pep talk, every cheerleading song, and a good stern talking to. Its like my anxiety takes on a life of its own. It doesnt help that a few times ago the POWER WENT OUT while I was IN the machine.

I cant stop it, and they cant seem to provide enough drugs for me, so this time they have added anesthesia to the mix. I already know this fear is unreasonable, but that hasnt helped make it go away.
