I can so relate to that awful prep! Same for me. Procedure was easy and hoping your results are the same as mine - normal!!

Good Luck....I had the same pain, the colonoscopy and endoscopy...............It turned out to be stress related. Try not to worry.

Thanks to everyone here for the well wishes & explanations. My doctor wants me to have one this next year (due to my mother having colon cancer).

I kinda know the procedure, but I was worried that folks would start telling horror stories....

PS - I will send you some good mojo also for a quick exam & recovery afterwards.

Good health to you! Stress can cause all kinds of angst and your body acts out on it! I have been there, and rest and refocussing my energy helped. I volunteer and that gets me off myself!
I also found EFT, emofree.com and use that when I get caught up in the downward spiral. I tap on it, and it worked for me. Doesn't cost anything, is non invasive and cannot be done incorrectly! Don't know how it works, but it does. Don't know how electricity works, either, but I still flip that switch!
