After two months of misery, I've finally agreed to let my doctor do these tests on me. Currently I have them scheduled for the same time, same day. I must admit, I'm terrified of the procedure. I've had a colonoscopy before, but it's been 15 years and all I really remember is I was awake for most of it and it hurt. That, and the prep was horrible. The doc gave me nu-lytely and bisoph pills for the prep.

As far as these tests go, especially the EGD, can somebody reassure me that it's not as bad as it sounds? I have problems swollowing pills, let alone a camera. I think I need some anixiety meds starting now and the test is over a week away.
