My doctor has not yet prescribed a colonoscopy, but I have a feeling that since I hit the big 5-0 that it will be a something she recommends in the near future. So glad to know that there is nothing to fear!<br /><br />KadyLife on the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900293336540009564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-34317038419739740702009-08-08T21:39:13.186-04:002009-08-08T21:39:13.186-04:00I didn't see anyone else mention it, but I'...I didn't see anyone else mention it, but I'm told by several friends that the liquid goes down a bit easier if you drink it thru a straw. By pass the taste buds, straight down the throat!

My husband has had four in the last three years, so I am familiar with them. I'm more afraid of being 'put out' than anything else:) But I thank you again SO MUCH for talking about this - it really could save lives (and I am SO happy you passed your test w/flying colors!!). And LOVE your blog by they way - just found it today!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15594722639047596792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-15278996004950230222009-08-06T08:43:28.653-04:002009-08-06T08:43:28.653-04:00Thanks for sharing - that is actually good to know...Thanks for sharing - that is actually good to know...I have issues with my tummy - we've done blood test which came back normal and some of the later steps get a bit more er...off putting...this brings me a little relief! xxxThe Curious Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920550974303475865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-8390949425650339332009-08-05T20:30:42.211-04:002009-08-05T20:30:42.211-04:00Yes, the worst is the drinking... but the actual p...Yes, the worst is the drinking... but the actual procedure is quick and you're knocked out, so it's not bad.

I went one time and woke up durning the procedure. It hurt so bad! The Dr. yelled at me to not move as I could have really gotten injured. He quickly (though not quick enough) gave me more meds to knock me out. <br /><br />I swore I would never go do another one again. <br /><br />Thankfully everything was ok. <br /><br />Glad to hear you are ok too.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JoanneJoanne Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550534887793382985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-16886777433957728132009-08-05T14:40:12.514-04:002009-08-05T14:40:12.514-04:00I drank so much of it that I started vomiting it u...I drank so much of it that I started vomiting it up. Made me totally nauseous. Called the doctor's office and they said to definitely stop drinking it... I WILL INSIST on the pill next time. Just really nasty stuff. <br /><br />Doc said it looked okay up my pooper too. *grins*<br /><br />Di<br />The Blue Ridge GalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59504869006627653.post-71444904280961079472009-08-05T14:37:49.935-04:002009-08-05T14:37:49.935-04:00Been there and drank that stuff, sugar!

I got mine over 2 years ago when I found out my older sister had been diagnosed with colon cancer...i was going to do it but that really pushed me to do it sooner. My Dr gave me gatorade with miralax and dulcolax....the night before is the rough part but the rest is nothing!
