Dear All

Posting this in case it is of some use. As I posted earlier I had "Fleet" and I was anyway in a flare. By the middle of the night my BMs had turned to "water" (i.e. no colour that I can remember). Also had baboon butt and hemorrhoids. Strangely, however, when it came to the colonoscopy not all was cleared (clearance was "suboptimal") and, if I recall correctly, the GI doc could not look at my cecum. Apparently I was talking all the way through the procedure saying "suboptimal clearance" was not possible as I had had so much D, especially with the added inducement of the Fleet. I remembered nothing of this, its what the nurses told me afterwards. I was told they use the "date rape" drug so one is actually conscious but usually remembers nothing! "Date Rape" :shock: we really have to put our trust our GI doc.

All best, Ant
