I think the key to a PAP is to try to RELAX!! I know it's easier said then done but just like blondie 90 said ....it could save your life. Try to picture yourself somewhere that you feel comfort and secure. I enjoy traveling to St. Martin with my husband so I picture myself together with him on our favorite beach. And whatever you do FIND A NEW DOCTOR!! There is no need for her to be like that to you. The doctor can either make or break the exam.
