UGH! I just got home from my upper endoscopy. The first time they gave me the "milk of amnesia" stuff, propofol, I think, and it was great! I slept thru the whole thing, no memory of it at all. This time, at a different facility they gave me versed and fentanyl. The doc said, if you think you need more, raise your hand. The second they put the thing in, I needed more, so they gave me a second dose, which did...NOTHING!
I was gagging and puking up mucus the whole time, all over my hair (the nurse said "oops, i forgot to tell you to put it up" :ymad: )
That sucked soooooooooo bad. I guess the good news is, if he doesn't find the celiac sprue stuff, and I have to go for the colonoscopy to look for the microscopic colitis, they KNOW I need more meds next time.
Redheads need more anesthesia, and I knew this, but I certainly thought the second dose woulda done it. :ybatty:
He took a LOT of biopsies, and I feel much more sore in my throat/chest than i did last time, probably because last time i was ASLEEP and RELAXED!!!
Ok, I'm done ranting now, but I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience?
