I've had a colonoscopy today. I opted to take sedation. Which DID NOT work at all. Nothing, zero, zilch. The paperwork said that they would administer the drugs and you would feel all relaxed and very sleepy and that after the procedure, you probably wont even remember it. 

I was FULLY alert throughout the whole agonising process. The gas and air they gave me also did nothing what so ever. At points I was screaming in agony telling them to stop. I was just told to relax. Utter joke. I was sweating like a pig and shaking like a *** dog. I'm surprised the bars on the bed didn't bend I was gripping them so hard. 'Can you just relax and sink ito the bed' Hard, no, impossible to do when you are writhing in absolute agony. At the start it was... administer the drugs and within 3 seconds the camera was inside and so was the compressed air. Good god. No check to see if they drugs were actually working. Wham bam thank you Ma'am.

There was a polyp they found, that they wanted to remove. But couldn't quite get at it?? So I've got to go back and have it all done again. If They are unwilling to give me a full anesthetic I'm not going through that again. Oh and if they couldn't get this time how the hell are they going to get it the second time?
