I had plenty of colonoscopy experience ... was eventually diagnosed with ulcerative colitis which surgery was able to “cure”. No more colonoscopies for me. Like everybody waiting for their “first time”, I was a nervous (no scared) virgin. I “misheard” the name of the clean-out formula Colyte ...mistakenly thinking it was pronounced “go lightly” ... after which taking, I decided if I ever came across the lab guy that named it, I would kill him.
In “hindsight”, the actual procedure was not terribly unpleasant given that I think the med they gave me acted like I imagine how that date rape concoction works. In short, I knew I was being violated but just didn’t care.
Seriously, there is nothing to fear, and believe me, I had enough of them to know. And, if you get diagnosed with something scary, don’t think you are too tough to join a support group. I did for a while and will be eternally thankful to my “bum buddies”.
