·Hello to all!I just found this board and from what I've read so far - it looks like a great and supportive group! I'm a 41 yr old female, who has suffered with this god-awful condition for several years, oddly since having my kids... any connection? LOL The symptoms have been getting worse of late, and my Dr. has decided that the time has come for some more investigation. Hence the colonoscopy. Imagine my joy. I used to work as an LPN, but it's been years so I've forgotten some stuff and did some refreshing of my atrophied brain on the 'net. The procedure sounds like riotous fun... Starving for 3 days, drinking a delightful cocktail that will induce me to pee thru my butt thru a needle at 40 paces until my insides have been Roto-routered, only to culminate in having a 73" tube (HELLO???!!!) rammed up my rectum. Gee, this is finally giving me something to live for... My question is - has anyone else here had to go thru this medical merry-go-round? And if so, anyone willing to share?? I'm really needing someone to give me the lowdown - I can handle anything but the unknown!Thank you so much! I hope to learn a lot of coping skills here. IBS is a really 'crappy' condition... !
