hey

I've had Ulcerative Colitis for ten years now and my gastro nurse has decided its time i had a "routine" colonoscopy. Although i had one when i was 13 i really cant remember it!

They're going to "sedate" me even though i'd much rather be fully put to sleep!

I was just wondering if anyone from the UK has had one recently as i'm really scared and nervous about getting it done as i do not deal well with pain, hospitals or needles etc.

but please tell me the truth as i'd rather know what to expect!

Thanks x
