35 yrs female, dx with crohn's on july 13th 07 increasing my  entocort 9mg . starting imuran 250 mg  pariet ,dx with depression in 2002 ,effexor tappering off, welbutrin,resperidal and lemotrogine.

 

I know one time I was really out of it for days afterward and when I asked my doctor why he used so many meds to sedate me he told me I was really cussing him out for hurting me so they kept giving me more and more.

Another time I was given sedation that causes amnesia and I was the "phone tree mom" in my daughters class. I guess I had a call to activate the phone tree when I got home from my colonoscopy, so I did. Well the next day I didn't remember doing it, so I called them all again, lol. They probably thought I didn't remember calling because I was drunk or something, lol.

25+years diagnosed with CD. 

Numerous surgeries, permanent ostomy, adverse reactions to Remicade,  finally off of Prednisone, hoping for a long remission from this last surgery. 

 

I am laying there in recovery, and sorta deflating myself.

I notice that everyone else is doing it too, and I try to get a little choir group thing going on to pass the time...

B-I-N-G, Comeon old dude next to me, Mr. O, you have the really deep ones?

Then I hear from across the room, Mrs. B had an accident.

THe scond time I had one, I woke up during the colonoscopy. It was awful! I remember waking up and attempting to reach for the scope. Someone yelled " SHe's awake!" THey held my arms down until I passed out again.

Kind of funny, but more sweet...... I am the second story.....

25 Year old married female.  Diagnosed w/ CD 2 years ago, IBS for over 10 years before that, which was probably the CD.

 

I started getting a ton of junkmail after putting my myspace profile link on here.  Im taking it off but if you want to contact me just email me and Ill give you a link to my myspace.  Sorry!

Well, this was funny at the time.  After my colonoscopy last year, the doctor told me I had many diverticula and that I should not eat peanuts or popcorn.  I then said, "You mean I can't go to baseball games anymore?"   He just looked at me strangely.  I guess he didn't get it.  He was from another country and didn't associate that with baseball games.

"pre-diabetic" controlled so far by diet and exercise

following low/no carb diet, no meds

I mistakenly took a Percocet the day before my C. They couldn't put me under, even with 4 Verseds! I never thought about it, but the Percocet probably was still taking up some of the opioid receptors that the Versed needed in order to work. So I was writhing and screaming "OW! OW!" during the whole thing. I am only mildly aware of this now but do remember watching the C on the screen. It was fascinating. Well, finally, they rounded the bend and were able to see the end - my Terminal Ileum. The next step would have been total sedation, and GI didn't want to do that. So afterward I told him how awful it was and he said "For me as well as you!"

Never take a narcotic pain pill the day before a Colonoscopy. THey should tell you this!
