Ugh! Hope the tests turn out okay. Let us know how it goes.

I will do have to have a CT colonography scan on Thursday would say I am shitting myself but after taking copious amounts of moviprep I shall be nothing but a shrivelled walnut shell on the floor drained and in need of some moisture haha xxxxxxx

I had to go through all of that a few years ago. It was, as I'm sure you'll guess, awful. People say, ' I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy' - well, wrong, I would, I would wish moviprep and a colonoscopy on my worst enemy because it seems like an appropriate level of horridness for someone you really don't like! I took the sedative, via infuus (sorry, that's Dutch, I think it's the same as intravenous in English - sorry, been in NL since 2014 and now my English is as bad as my Dutch!), and it knocked me out completely. Next thing I remember was coming round in the recovery ward with a nurse who clearly hated her job and 99% of human beings. Good luck with the test.🙂

Ct colongraphy are painless so you be fine they can also detect any other issues u may have in any other organs as these show up..I had one my colon was fine but due to positive fit test and ongoing bleeding I was expecting the worse..they did find a small cyst on my pancreas though which they are monitoring 12 months so they are very on the ball...x

Hi winfong, yes I will do how are you ?

They're probably just being cautious, they have to be, that's their job. It will most likely just be IBS!
