I've had a couple of colonoscopies to rule out all the major
stuff..chrones..etc. I don't think it's that bad the prep is the worst
part and but it's short lived - I can think of other diagnostic tests
that are much worse. As for Angie, that's poor practice for the person
incharge of the conscience sedation to even leave the area, they should
be present the whole time.
I personally would try the pill for more than 2 months. I took the pill
for ten years and in the begining when I was trying to find the right
pill with right dose of hormones I gave every brand I tried 3 months for
my body to adjust and for me to see the real results. I'm glad I did
because the pill I ended up on I didn't know if I would like until I hit
that 3rd month and I used it for several years.
