they don't hurt b/c of the sedative, and they're fun to watch (if you're not sedated, or a med student). if they find polyps, they use an argon laser to vaporize them (really sweet) or electrocautery with the end of the probe (smells).

Re: [MBZ] WAS What is the most addictive NOW colorectal etc
I'm 55 and my Dad had problems with his colon and other stuff - he never
would talk about it and my mom would tell what she knew which was not much.
In any case, my Urologist says I should have a colonscopathy every other
year. I kept putting it off and in Dec my right leg started swelling - my
regular doc had a doppler done and it said no blood clot (for which I am
truely thankful - had one 7 years ago and it was no fun) - he sent me to a
vascular doc - who said *his* doppler was better and he would do a CT scan
also - the doppler was negative again and the CT scan showed a enlargement
on my colon - he put me on Cipro and said I shoud have a colonscopathy as
soon as he could schedule it. Like the others, I took the GoLyghtly (Ha!)
and had the exam - don't remember *any* of it after being wheeled into the
room - woke up and went home. Again, as others have said, the night before
was the worst part of it - when I have it done again, I'll insist on the
pills instead of the liquid. So, I *finally* had it done - the good news,
the enlargement he found was not cancerous and the polyp he found and
removed was not cancerous, for which I am truely thankful.
Not looking forward to the next one though. Also, my Dad had prostate
cancer (which eventually killed him) and so I get to have a yearly exam
(yippp!) and so far they have all been without incident.
Probably the 2 most unpleasant tests a man can go thru and yet it's
something those of us over 50 or so need to have done on a regular basis.
Thankfully, if they ever *do* find something it's usually very curable if
caught early.
Now you know much more about me than you *ever* wanted to know!
LOL

Re: [MBZ] WAS What is the most addictive NOW colorectal etc
black licorice also does weird things with drugs. I'm not making this up - the chemicals in black licorice affect the metabolism of other drugs. Just blanking on how ... In another example, if you're on statins for high cholesterol, don't drink grapefruit juice because parts of the juice inhibit metabolism of the drug. For the geeks, it's a cytochrome P450 interaction.

Re: [MBZ] WAS What is the most addictive NOW colorectal etc
I've had one, and it was pretty much a non-event. The procedure takes about 15 minutes, they give you a sedative as a rule and I don't remember a thing. The prep was interesting, you need to hang around the house for that one, and the really good thing about getting a colonoscopy done is that they can clip off little future problem spots, affording you the likely ability to avoid colon cancer and the potentially major surgery that entails. I was also told the 5 year interval. So you see, it's kind of like car care, you can do preventative maintenance, or you can do major repairs (that may or may not work) later. I like to avoid problems, don't you? It's always easier and cheaper to avoid trouble than to get out of it later.. Lynn
Re: [MBZ] WAS What is the most addictive NOW colorectal etc
Had a combination colonoscopy and endoscopy done at the same time last year - with a handshake in the middle perhaps? Done in a section of a clinic that did only that, and the people were great. Had a twilight anesthesia and remember extending my neck a bit and waking up when it was done. No problems from either end, 5 year return suggested if no problems. I wouldn't mind having an annual event IF there were a good reason for it. No one has recommended it. I was more concerned about the endoscopy than the colonoscopy, but not a problem, and not painful such as some of the contrast procedures have been.
