EGD/colonoscopy

I've had scopes but not for lyme. Good luck with your procedures! Ask for propofol for anesthesia. It's doesn't make you feel sick after and is easy to clear.

If you've not had a colonoscopy before, it's the prep that's the challenge. The procedure is really a "breeze" as you won't remember it at all. Here are some tips for the prep that have helped me on the several preps I've had to do:

Drink the prep with ice and through a straw (less awful taste)
Chew gum between glasses of prep - helps remove the salty/bad taste
Use Neosporin on your bottom right from the very beginning - and very often = it will help with it getting/feeling raw from the frequent bowel movements/diarrhea you will have
I eat VERY lightly 2 days before the procedure and then start the liquid diet an entire day before the procedure - there is less that will have to "come out" if you will.


Good luck! Again, the procedure is "nothing" - just take good care during the prep.
