Out of my mind with worry

<< < (5/9) > >>

Mrs Bennet:
Good morning Julia Dizzy.....Kathleen
Thank you both for your posts......
Julia isn’t it awful this constant fight or flight feeling.... butterfly tummy
I don’t know which part of the procedure I’m more scared of....think i will opt for the sedation...... though i am a very small frame and seem to be sensitive to most meds so hopefully it won’t knock me out completely 😳
I am trying my hardest to be positive but doubt always seems to creep back in ......thank you both so much for your wise and encouraging words ....
Will be thinking of you Julia.....let me know how it goes .....much love Mrs B
Xx

Julia Dizzy:
Thank you Mrs Bennet, I'll let you know  :-\ and Kathleen, if you don't mind me asking how were you after the sedation? How long did it take to get out of your system...I know you have to stay in hospital after the procedure for a while if you've had it. I don't want to feel groggy for days?!
 
I'm not sure whether to have it or not and just manage with gas and air, although I know I will be very anxious so maybe I should!

Erkkk day 3 of bland food and Sennakot each night...what joy, can't wait until its all over  :'(

Thinking of you both, Mrs Bennett and Julia Dizzy. I completely relate to the anxiety. My sister has IBS and she has had several colonoscopy's. She has tried mild sedation, full sedation, gas and air and nothing. She now opts for nothing as she says she feels in control and there's no after effects. The sedation made her feel very dizzy and out of it. If it was me I would have no hesitation in having sedation. I've got a low pain threshold and get really anxious which I'm sure makes everything feel much worse.

Good luck with what ever you decide. It will be good when it's over and hopefully you get the ressurance that everything is absolutely fine.

Kathleen:
Hello again ladies.

Julia Dizzy -  The sedation was by wrist cannula and only really lasted an hour or two after the procedure as I recall. I certainly didn't feel groggy, just nicely relaxed. I think I was in recovery for about thirty minutes then my husband drove me home. I think the drug used was liquid diazepam and I had no after effects at all.

I honestly believe you won't have any problems with the sedation or the procedure as these examinations are routinely performed and the staff are well practiced.

I also  hated the bland diet and I couldn't wait to get back to enjoying real food.

Wishing you well and keep us updated.

K.
