Hi Paula - hope things are going okay - you will be well into treatment now but just thought I would say that I found the use of tranqulisers an essential as I am very claustrophobic and would not have been able to have the mask on at all without - but then after a while I just got used to it. Funny how strange things become he norm!! Mind you - I will not forget the pleasure of having my feeding tube removed!!! I had a lot of trouble with mine and a great deal of pain/discomfoRt but, in spite of my determination not to ever have to use it, it was an absolute godsend - so I am eternally grateful that they insisted I have one!
