I think a GA for a liver biopsy would be overkill, too. But I certainly think I need something to help me cope with the anxiety on the day. Just something to make me relax and not freak out...

As for when I meet my specialist - I have an appointment in July, but I was told that they would ring me to move it forward and if I haven't heard from them by Wednesday to call them myself to move it.

I'm starting to think that if they won't offer a sedative of any sort I'll get my GP to write me a script and get someone else to drive me. Probably not really a good thing to do, but I feel less anxious if I've got a plan B in place.
