I'm interested in knowing how this is done in Canada now, since I'll probably have to have one soon too.

Did they give you something to drink 24 hrs prior to the procedure? I didn't have that, but was very well cleaned out (except bleeding) by the time I went in for an emergency colonoscopy. Most people I've talked to recently on the MS forums have said they had to drink something, and that that was the worst part about the procedure now-a-days.

WAY back in the dark ages, they didn't even give a person any meds before. I know in the US anyway, people are put out now, but I don't think that is happening in Canada. Please be advised that you will need at least something to relax you.

It'll probably take me months to get an appointment for one . . . but will be interested in hearing how it goes for you.

Good luck.

Cherie
