colonoscopy
Hi All,
Well I finally have a date for my colonoscopy, 8th of June is D day (pun intended, with the bowel prep I'm sure there'll be plenty of D!!) I'm a nurse and have prepped many people for scopes, bit weird being on the other side! Dreading it but also looking forward to getting it done and getting some firm answers....slightly embarressing as I used to hang out socially with my GI when I was a new grad and he was a registrar!
I have been feeling better the last month or so, still have the D but fatigue has been a lot better....until yesterday! Every joint in my body was screaming, new crop of red lumps on my legs, D worse than it has been for the last few weeks... slept for 3 hours yesterday afternoon then another 11 hours overnight....to all you seasoned chronies does this sound like a flare? I gave in this morning and took some nurofen, I know it's not the best thing with IBD but was desperate and it's seems to have really helped and feeling a bit better today....is this how flares go? never know when They're going to pop up and take you down?
