Hi Fallmare,

I'm having an endoscopy and colonoscopy this morning and I'm beyond anxious. I've barely slept, and I'm scared of the procedure and of the results. 

Please let us know how you get on x

Morning Louise

I've struggled for weeks with all of this..

I'm just like you worried out of my mind

Shaking and stomach with intense knots..

I'm frightened of what they'll find..

I've got to wait till 3.30

I'm sending you a virtual hug (()) and best wishes x

I'll let you know.. And let me know how you are.. 

I will of course, I'm sorry this has dragged on for so long for you I can't imagine how difficult that must have been.

I'm in the endoscopy suite now, I'm shaking and lightheaded, feel like my legs won't carry me, not sure how I walked down the stairs.

It's the tube down the throat I'm really struggling with but I will ask or sedation. I haven't eaten for 24 hours so I hope it will kick in quick and hard, even just for the first bit

I'm with you now x definitely have the sedation. 

So you didn't wait as long as me? 

I've had a ultrasound. 

Ct

Now this. 

Soon be over...a hug is sent 

I'll be going through the same at 3.30

I know what you mean about the tube... I gag cleaning my teeth :-(

Hi they do put a spray on the back of your throat so you don't feel anything there,but you can feel it further down, just uncomfortable and odd times you feel like you want to bring it up but it bearable, when they finished mine I got a paper with details of what they found and there were some pictures of my throat and lower down 4in all down to 2nd part duodenum, where they found I had a hiatus hernia .   Then straight home for a good meal and drink.  Lovley.   

People there are experts and do everything they can to help you relax remember positive thinking.

Morning Billy

Hope your ok..

Im trying to be positive I really am..

I get they give you a report if things are OK but.... 

 if something was nasty would they tell you??

Morning it depends on hospital really some would some send details to specialist nomatter what good or bad , when I had biopsy nurse who did it told me while I was still on table then told me to go wait in a small office a specialist came in and after small talk for a while told me I had cancer,I said I know the nurse told me, she said excuse me a minute she went out and played hell because, nurse shouldn't have told me then came back and apologized I said it was ok.

Like i say it varies depending on hospital but hope you find out waiting isn't good especially if good news.

Billy

Thanks Billy...

For all your help and advice. 

My nerves are shot this morning.. Got to wait for hours!

The ct didn't seem to good so...... 

Hi Billy

So the actual consultant performed my endoscopy.

And everything appears normal I can't be it.

I sobbed so much.

I want to talk to the gp about the dilated duct. 

So I'll ring him soon. 

Thankyou for all your support x

Heeeey how's it going? I see like me you have severe health anxiety too. Hence the friend request. 

Would love to know how you cope xx
