Funny question...i know, but when i get abdominal exams, i get the giggles(i'm super ticklish) and i was wondering if you had any tips to help me sit still during an exam.

Mindset: Try recalling how bad it felt to stub your toe or bang your shin & concentrate on visualizing/ feeling that during the exam. It is only when you anticipate the tickling & allow the sensation to emerge that it would happen.
