When I fainted they acted like I was the only person to ever have problems during the exam...it is nice to know that others get anxious too. That housecall pap sounds ideal:)
Getting checkups is definitely easier said than done (I was a queen hypocrite for many years on this before depression brought out the hypochondriac in me - now I am always at the doctor with some small ailment that I think will be the death of me - like an itchy toe or slight hand cramp). I think your friends here have a lot of good ideas about how to get there. I think my husband made me call his dentist in front of him, so I guess accountability made me show up.
Good luck!
