I did try that a few times over the years when I had a headache, and I felt that it actually made it worse, but I've heard from friends that it worked great for them.

Well I wasn't quite expecting that! lol

Haha I figured :) Let me know if you ever try it out. I assure you it didn't work for me and only made it worse, but I've heard friends say that it works great. You might find some more info when googling it.

Well this is the moment I've been waiting for I guess. Colonoscopy is tomorrow afternoon. I've been drinking broth, apple juice and gatorade all day, and eating jello which I very much dislike.

I took half of the miralax stuff almost 2 hours ago and nothing is happening? I thought I'd be running to the bathroom by now, but no..

I've gotten a lot worse this past week, very exhausted, shaking when I walk around, strange feeling in my abdomen, etc.. I really wonder what they will find tomorrow.

Hi page 3, just wanted to let you know I've read your thread, I'm thinking about you this morning, will be checking for when you feel like sharing what they found, good luck to you!

Thank you very much :)

Here are the results:
- Congested and erythematous mucosa - This was biposied
- A 6 mm polyp was found and removed.
- Non-bleeding internal hemorrhoids
- Abnormal mucosa consistent with distal proctitis.

I am supposed to take canasa (mesalamine) for the next 3 weeks, but when I went to the pharmacy they said you need a prescription for that. Well they didn't give me one and I don't know what to do now. I am so not used to all that stuff :(

You need to talk to your doctor or the doctor that ordered the colonoscopy, a doctor has to prescribe the med.

The docs office is supposed to call me in the morning, to see how I am doing, so I'll ask then.
