This seems like such a trivial issue. The first time I got the nose scope, they actually were able to get it down okay. The second time, it hurt like hell and the third time this week, I don't know if they got it down all the way. I'm sure you all are aware of the procedure. First they spray down the nostril. To me, it's like someone is shooting hairspray up your nose.

They keep telling me to relax, and I feel like a bad patient because it practically sends me out of the chair as it bounces down my head. It feels like the scope is bouncing on little pieces of cartilige and it hurts like almighty hell. I have a real easy gag reflex, which is one of the main reasons I was never much of a drinker. Obviously since they keep wanting to scope me this way, it's necessary for me to get use to it.

Do you all have any suggestions on how I can make this easier on myself so this is less of an ordeal? And is this a procedure we need to continuously have?
