Had my first colonoscope today . Didn't go well , had to be abandoned half way through .  I was doing ok till it got to a part that was really painful , so I asked for sedation , then I've no idea what happened , woke up in room to be told, it wasn't safe to be carried out so it had to be stopped. 

Now I've to wait to see if I can get another 1 only have a general anaesthetic , or a ct scan . After drinking 2 litres of the most disgusting potion ever .im so upset 😕

    Good luck to all you people about to undergo the colonoscopy.  May your New Year present be negative results and a pain free experience.
