It first hit in May this year, shortly after suffering a flu-type virus. Went through the tests, and ended up having my Colonoscopy the day after my 31st Birthday...Happy birthday to me!!. I spent my special day eating nothing but Jelly,drinking the foul pre-op medicine (to clean you out)and visiting with my old friend the porcelain alter...
I was dreading the OP, because I'd never had anything like it before and didn't like the idea of being blacked out whilst having the anal probe. That said, it was all over very quickly...didn't hurt and was one hell of a relief to come out that I didn't have something fatal. Now it's just a case of learning to adapt both from a diet perspective, but also reducing stress (which I believe is my biggest issue) so that life can get back on track.
As a fellow newbie,you're in the right place for help and support...everyone is so kind and giving, and Heather's just the best host (good food too!!).
Anyway, droned on a bit I know, but I wish you all the best with your tests. Regards, Tim
