Re: New, anxious and seeking opinions

Completed the colonoscopy without sedation and it was not bad at all. My report came back with colitis in a few locations and will have to do blood work to determine if crohns or ulcerative colitis. I am happy it's not cancer and I sympathize for everyone who have gotten that diagnosis. Thank you to...

Re: New, anxious and seeking opinions

I know it's hard, I also have had health anxiety. Just try to not panic until it is time to panic. I had an unsedated colonoscopy a few years ago. It wasn't that bad. It was mildly uncomfortable at the most, and for my upcoming colonoscopy in September, I will ask for no sedation as well. It's actu...

Re: New, anxious and seeking opinions

Colonoscopy is tomorrow at 2pm eastern. I will update once everything settles.

My doctor and they said back in 2011 I had proctitis with internal hemorrhoids. I was told the mucus, blood, and diarrhea are all symptoms of proctitis. I hope they are right and hope the unsedated colonoscopy goes fast.

Re: New, anxious and seeking opinions

Thank you all for your comments and feedback. I did talk to my doctor today and he agrees with the specialist that it most likely is proctitis with internal hemorrhoids. He said it is rare at 27 to have colon cancer but the colonoscopy will give us all the facts. I am slightly relieved that my sigmo...

Re: New, anxious and seeking opinions

Veckon and pdp497, I am trying not to stress and I understand that it most likely isn't cancer, but the health anxiety I have after is crushing me. I know my chances of colon cancer are around 1-2%, but if you know anyone with health anxiety, they think of the worst outcome regardless. The PA (emerg...

When this first started I was in college (2011) and went to the ER, and was referred to a GI doctor. I had a sigmoidoscopy and they only found internal hemmroids, an...
