Thank you very much. I am also very glad. I have read up on a little bit about it. This is what i told the consultant that my flare ups were very painful although i can go years without having one,...
Yes it is. I have been browsing the threads in this forum, and its very sad to see what people are having to go through. I am relieved that I do not have it. I have to say i am also glad to find out...
I had my sigmoidoscopy, and i hated it. I thought it was really very painful. Especially when they turned a corner. It seemed to drag on and on, I was so relieved when finished. They told me i had...
As soon as i know what they find i will post on here and tell people what they say i have....
When i was told i would have to have a sigmidoscopy i did not know that you had to have an enema, I was only told when i had to ring the endoscopy department and arrange an appointment, she then...
I do not have a toilet in the bathroom, its next door toilet is on its own. there is not enough room in the toilet to lay down, and this is the instructions it gives me on my enema, so i am hoping i...
Thanks for this. I have to say i am very grateful for your help, it is actually helping me, I was very nervous when i woke up, but all this advice is helping me. I do not think i want to look...
I do not know why i am so worried about the enema, I just am. I do plan to take your advice tho and stay in the bathroom while i do it. Mine also says hold it for 10 mins and it may take 15 mins for...
I have nobody to go with, but i do not mind. I will probably be better off really. My parents are babysitting for me, and my husband has to work, and all my friends work. I am worried about the...
Thank you so much for this. Your so right. It is the unknown what i am scared of. I had a rigid sigmoidoscopy when this all started, but it was straight forward. No enema. and to be honest i did not...
Yes, I have read that before that a lot of people hate doing the enema more than the procedure itself. Funny thing is, I have a friend who has had 4 children and before all of these birth she has...
Yes, I think i will stick by the toilet. thinking of actually doing it in the bathroom and staying there sorry if there's TMI. I last bled in may, as sad it is i actually note it down when i have...
I really really appreciate both of you for replying to me. Its good to hear from others who have had these things done. I think mainly the worry i do have is if the enema brings on my bleeding, as...
I posted quite some time ago, about symptoms i was getting, and was really really nervous about them. I believe i have UC. I have been bleeding quite a lot of bleeding throughout the years, sometimes...
Thank you so much imagardner. I think your right i do need a new doctor. I have an appointment this Wednesday, Its a different doctor, and i really do hope she listens to me. I think i may lay all my...
I have yet to find a doctor that actually listens to me. I was suffering really bad anxiety once i saw this doctor called dr amead, she was the only doctor that really had anytime for me, and she...
You have all been very very helpful.... In fact i have had more help here in 2 days than i have in 9 years with anyone else. and i would just like to say thank you very very much. To be honest, My...
I have seen a psychiatrist on many occasions i have been diagnosed with OCD among other things. The thing is the doctor just puts everything down to anxiety, they just sigh when they see me usual...
My mother was sedated once for a tooth extraction, and she said she would never have it done again, she said it made her very sick. I have an appointment to see my doctor Wednesday, Hopefully to...
When i went to the doctor last time. They told me i had already had one rigid sigmoidoscopy, I can remember having some sort of procedure done, but could not remember the name of it and that is when...
I know it would, but the way i feel i really do not think i could cope with having it done.... even being sedated worries me. I am not being treated at the moment as i have not been that anxious only...
Southerngirl. Thank you for replying, but i have phoned today and cancelled the sigmoidoscopy. I spent the majority of the day being really sick and worrying, I have not been able to spend anytime...
I wonder why the nurse would give me something like this. If she knows i have been bleeding then she must have known that i could have this if i was having a sidmoidoscopy...
Another thing i am also worried about is the enema they have given me to take before i have my sigmiodoscopy is a micro enema... On it it said DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE IBD... now if this is what...
Thank you andrina. I really do want to have it done. I am just so nervous, Especially as some people have said that having it done is worse than child birth. I wish i had not googled so much, I am...
I was not sure that piles called bleed that much. I can remember tho that once when i bled a lot the day before one of my piles had become very hard and painful, and took lots of cream for the pain...
I know she did. She was not helpful at all been suffering in silence. I guess i worry about everything to much. Yes your right could get hit by a truck. The thing is i can eat almost everything and...
Hi first of all thank you for sparing the time and replying to me, been everywhere and nobody has answered me or took the time to give me advice. :smile: The last time i bled (in june) I went to the...
Hi my name is Mandy. About 9 years ago i had the shock of my life when i noticed i had blood in my poo. I woke up in the middle of the night with terrible terrible stomach pains. I thought i had a...
