Re: Oh no - now I have to have a Sigmoidoscopy!!
Hi Nic,
Just a bit of re-assurance over the sigmoidoscopy. Sounds like you have a high pain threshold and so does my Mum. She had one done without sedation and she said it was highly uncomfortable but tolerable - they removed suspicious polyps but all is ok now.
Everyone is different and I suggest you chat to your GP about 'you' as an individual but please be assured it can be done without sedation.
With regards to running on empty - Mum had clear soups (sieved veg broth) and that was quite acceptable along with cordial drinks. But again check with GP.
Take care my friend
Love Dawn x
