Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I made it through! It was a bit rough last night and this morning. While I did drink ALL of my prep, I didn't get cleaned out until this morning--AT the hospital. It was a rough ride to get there followed by bad cramping and going quite a few more times.
All in all though, I did it! Colonoscopy itself, as you all know, is the easiest part. They have me less meds in hopes of me not getting sick afterwards, so I was quite aware of it, but did OK.
Doc saw the same stuff as last time--colitis-looking area in the sigmoid colon. Biopsies were taken, so we'll know in a few days. The biopsies were negative last time, so I doubt it's colitis. Poor doc doesn't know what it is, but feels OK with it since we know its nothing terrible.
I can't speak enough about the benefit of a good doc. I am SO glad I found her--she's thorough, let's me speak my mind, and even let the nurses try an aromatherapy thing to prevent nausea!
Ok, back to rest today.... work tomorrow!
