I had my first colonoscopy 10 years ago when I was 71. I swore I would NEVER have another one. I was given Versed (Versed (midazolam) is a benzodiazepine, a type of drug that causes relaxation, sleepiness, and partial or complete loss of memory during use. It’s commonly used to help you better tolerate a medical procedure.) and FENTANYL. Still I could feel every inch of that tube going up me and I was moaning and groaning because it hurt. I heard the doctor tell the anesthesiologist to give me some more and she said she couldn’t as she was at the top range already.
My Primary care doctor keeps telling me it is time to get another one, but I just don’t think I can bring myself to do it. I seem to have a COMPLETELY different reaction to medications than other people do. If I am given a sleeping pill I am WIDE AWAKE.
Good Luck Ms B
“ I seem to have a COMPLETELY different reaction to medications than other people do. If I am given a sleeping pill I am WIDE AWAKE.”
I do the same thing with over-the-counter medication’s. Like with cold pills or sleeping aids, I’m usually awake but groggy. Awake into the middle of the night. I haven’t noticed that with any surgical or hospital drugs. How awful that you were still feeling it and they couldn’t give you any more
Boy, an I MAD!
I was reading the Color guard site, and people are saying that they had to pay ALL costs for the test kit,
The cost of that is over $600.00!
So, is you test positive like I did, then you have the additional cost of a colonoscopy!
CB, did you know this?

I’m sorry you had such a bad time of it Spunky!
I had one done years ago and came through it all right.
Thanks for the good wishes!
