Hi Ali, Sorry you are not feeling good just now and to have a poorly child as well must be readly hard.

I have been for several endoscope's although nervous It has never been a traumatic experience, I have never had any pain or any problems afterwards.

Hope it goes the same for you, and your little one and you are feeling a bit better tomorrow.

I had a lung endoscope once wasn't too bad at all, but still Ali not something to look forward to, hope all is well. Can't imagine how you cope with a poorly child and all your problems, take care.

It's not too bad Ali, try not to worry. I had pipes down into my lungs and barium poured in when I was 23, not painful at all, does not last long. I was more interested in what they could do to help me and condition of my lung... well, they helped me a lot and they will help you too.

just think about seeing your little one after !

Hi Ali,

I'm sorry to hear you're suffering again.

Hopefully the endoscope although uncomfortable will be over in a jiffy, and bring a positive outcome for you.

No doubt some different meds for you as well, then you can start to get back to feeling better again & caring of your little one.

Best of luck Ali, try not to worry too much about it all.

Take care

Can not go today for the camera,

sats are all over the place this morning and still have a high temp feeling really awful,

Had a bit of sleep but I know if exacerbated and heart rates up they won't do it so re appointing to give me time for the steroid and antibiotics to kick in..

I am getting like this now every 2 - 3 weeks.. I no sooner get over respiratory failure,

bang after a couple of weeks back to square one..

I am a bit relieved not going if honest was not looking forward to it...

At the same time if cannot control this quick will be back in hospital which I can do without,

It is getting more and more difficult for people to keep dropping everything to have my kids when I get rushed in That's a worry..

Then whilst in loads of arterial blood gas tests ouch etc etc

My husband had this done in hospital and said he did not feel a thing, they gave him an injection to relax him and he fell asleep.

Good luck.
