>I've got an endoscopy Tuesday and a colonoscopy Thursday with a day of fasting between. I've been reading the pre-test and post-test information and I'm just not sure it's worth it. There are so many layers of this that hit all sorts of panic issues with me.
I haven't had this procedure, but I will one day. I would feel exactly the same.
I remember when I had my vasectomy. The doctor gave me a local and not even any nitrous or anything else. Something was cut and this awful soft sickly pain went to my right shoulder. He had said 'Bring some leather to bite on'. When I said that I wasn't enjoying it he said 'You aren't here for fun'. Next time, I thought, I would organise some pain relief to help me lie still for it (beforehand!). 30mg morphine by mouth would do it.
I sympathise.
