I had both of these done the other day and am I paying for it.
I had to take a solution the previous day, to have my bowls cleared out
for the colonoscopy.
Two sachets of Pricopep kept me up all Tuesday night. Ugh! awful!!
And this morning I woke up with the worst sore throat from the endoscopy and subsequently,I had to call for an ambulance because I couldn't breathe.
Anyone had a horrible medical procedure?

Yeah had both of those and not nice....

I had an allergic reaction to the Intravenous Contrast Solution, they pump through you when you get a Cat Scan....

Blue shit coming out of your ears/nose etc etc isn't nice :shock:

Might sound corny, but I've gotta ask. Did they find the cat?
