So I'm here because I've got a dreaded colonoscopy to be booked . I went to the gp because of 4 months of bowl issues awful diareah ...pencil thin slimy and some pain also although I'm not anemic I keep getting odd dizzy spells ......after a home fit test detected blood I rang the gp as you can't really get to see one she arranged another fit test and that also picked up blood so two weeks later just had an call to decide should I have colonoscopy her advice was as I should and I should also have it under sedation as I've had a c section 8months ago it could be painful.

I was hoping not to ....as I've not told anyone about test etc I was hoping maybe stupidly to have gas and air drive home and just have something simple!! As I'm the go to person in the family need a lift ...floor laying, shopping ,appointments literally I'm that person!!

So today tmi but went to the loo after having discomfort in early hours as normal went but for the first time noticed blood but red surely that's more likely internal piles? But would that cause all other symptoms????

As they are ringing to book a test within the next 2/3 weeks do I need to let them know of any changes If it happens again?

I've been randomly treating myself prior to speaking to a Dr with anything that I thought could help keifr ...buscapan....even wormed myself!! 

It all just so embarrassing coupled with the dred that I'm 20 stone so already feel embarrassed ....the one symptom I don't have weight loss !!

To be honest not sure what I'm looking for here ....just venting!!

I'm also pretty sure after having babies naturally to I've been left with a rectocele could that cause issues?
