First time Colonoscopy
I have my first colonoscopy on Thursday the 14th. I have been given Picolax. I am concerned about the prep as my friend told me you don't have time to get up the stairs to the toilet, and I should stay upstairs after taking the prep solution; is this correct? I'm really not sure about the sedative

Endo in bowel tips
I was just wondering if anybody could help in regards to having endometriosis in their bowel, as I've found it quite hard to find out about it when researching. My surgeon found it on the outside of my bowel, and I am seeing a colon specialist to see if it has entered my bowel. I was just wondering if

Had results but still confused 🤷🏻♀️
After having biopsy samples taken during an incomplete colonoscopy back on 20th Jan and then having the CT pneumocolon on 8th Feb I have finally had the results read out to me by the med sec….not sure if it’s left me with more questions rather than answers 🤷🏻♀️ The biopsy results show inflammation

Ferrous sulphate
Can anyone help please with the best time of day to take these tablets? Or any experience with having taken them? It's all well and good to say take on an empty stomach, but they seem to cause reflux and when one is already taking PPI 's for acid reflux this is no easy task. Also advised by GP

Glaucoma along with advanced AMD (GA stage)
Hi all, I am new to this forum and would like an opinion from the experts here. My father has glaucoma in both eyes and unfortunately, by the time it was diagnosed, his vision in right eyes was 30% remaining only. This was almost 12 yrs back. His left eye was the savior for us so many years till 2018

PMR and the effect on mental health.
I consider myself as coping as I am getting to the point of acceptance of this disease after being diagnosed 12 weeks ago as a 57-year-old male but why do I have moments of absolute overwhelming sadness? I have never welled up to this extent and can even feel it coming on, which is very odd indeed.
