I am finally getting tests done to see whats been going on all these years! I am nervous about the test. If you have had this test before please share your experience with me. Thanks

I don't think you have much to worry about.

Here is what happened to me:

They will first spray something for you to swallow which will make your throat numb. Doesn't hurt, just a strange feeling. Then, they gave me some medication which made me forget everything (vercid?). Next thing I knew I was waking up.
I think the procedure only takes about 15 minutes.

Not a bad procedure at all - don't worry.
