I have had a hysterectomy 10 years ago.. I had to have a colonoscopy yesterday and had opted for sedation and if needed gas.. it was so painful I almost had to stop it totally.. I have a high pain threshold and have run races with broken ankles etc but this was ridiculous. The sedation didn't work and the gas I swear wasn't turned on.. diverticulosis was the diagnosis, the only way this would ever be repeated is if I was anaesthetised fully. 

Since this procedure I have been diagnosed with Coeliac Disease which appears to be the cruix of other ailments. Cancer, mild heart attack, lactose intolerance, dermatitus herpetiformis, spleen insufficiency. luckily the blood test picked the Coeliac up and although it's changed my life it's also allowed me to adapt to do other things.. had to stop running but now ride a motorbike for example .. it's just about adapting
