Please do not worry unnecessarily.
Take the test and if all clear then you know Buscopan is working for you
good luck for the 9th

Everything was fine, they found a couple of polyps and removed them.
Seriously, I cannot believe the fuss people make.
The Movoprep tasted like Andrews Salts and lemon. The diarrhea was amazing - I was on the toilet for a good couple of hours.
You get sedation, a painkiller and a muscle relaxation medication. Only once I felt it, a bit like trapped wind. I think I did pretty well as normally trapped wind makes me want to call an ambulance. I have no pain threshold!
I did cry just before having it as I was so worried about what they may find (Id convinced myself I had bowel cancer).
I ended up watching it on the screen, which I said I wouldnt.
I need another one in 3 years.
I think the thought of it is worse than the actual procedure.
I did pay to go private at the Princess Grace in London.
If you'd like me to answer any questions, please PM me.

I remember Movicol. The first time I mixed it with cordial but used to it now,
No sedation at any of my hospitals just a case of bendover and England expects.
I am the opposite as I was always think I am wasting my time but went in today as I have been having a few minor problems with my foot and I said it was nothing I am sure and she looked horrified once she saw the problem and said I need to be referred as soon as possible so I take it that is more urgent than I expected.

What is wrong with your foot?
How often do you get a colonoscopy?

I am glad
i must have been walking on the sides of my feet for too long, although it never felt like I was, and I think the technical term is they're f****d. I will have to see what can be salvaged but the pain has spread through my shin to my knee and now to my back very quickly.
Saying that docs can do amazing things. A very good friend of mine had very severe back problems. Think Julie Walters as Mrs Overall and she had a back op and now plays badminton regularly.
As little as possible but I think I have had 3 in about 6 years. I have had endoscopies too. I think it goes with the territory when one is diagnosed with IBS.

I hope they sort your foot out - sounds painful!
Sounds like your doctor looks after you well.

HI Lizzie, interested in your experience at the Princess Grace,. I am thinking of going there for the procedure which I'm dreading. Do you think it was worth the fee which I imagine is high? I will pay for peace of mind and an expert carrying out the procedure. Thank you for any information.
best wishes,
Annusia
