Colonoscopy

Hi I'm writing as I am petrified. I'm 39 and have been having blood in my stools and like a grumbling feeling in anus. I'm so scared that the results are going to be bad and I'm going to leave my 3 beautiful boys behind On top of this I have severe emetephobia and am petrified of taking the prep for the colonoscopy. Is there not a tablet version that I can take I'm really struggling worrying about drinking the prep. It may sound silly to some but I've had this phobia since I was 7 and it's really consuming me atm? Any advice very welcomed.

  • I drank the pre scan prep with small amount of ice cold squash to try to mask the taste then had a long iced drink to wash it down, it must have worked as l had no problems with the scan. I would advise not to leave home once you have taken a dose. The recent meds were better than the ones I had about 6 years ago. unfortunately it's not in tablet form l agree it would be nicer to take. 
    take care of yourself and try not to stress easier said than done. I find keeping busy helps.,l am going to the breast clinic on the 28 th so l understand how you are feeling and l would like it over soon so l can relax.

    l hope you have a good outcome like mine and all is proved  benign.
