Cherie, I just went out today for the first time in 14 days. Did a lot of resting, and well.. my body must have needed it. We had 24 inches of snow last week, eek, so I was going not going out. I also did the IVSM one week too.

Anyway, the only reason I went out is because my DH had his Colonoscopy today and they would not release him unless he had a adult driver to take him home.

He drove there and I drove home, a bit weak still.. but I had no choice. He was put completely out. Put on the gown, insert the IV and wake up in recovery one hour later.

I sat three hours in the waiting room. He was acting all happy and silly, talking and laughing none stop, so I would never let him behind the wheel. He acted drunk. Drug drunk.

So we both has it done before (every 5 years), so we know we go out like a light here. Best part is you do not remember anything of the procedure.

A Sigmoidoscopy they just numb the outside and you are awake for that one here.

So I know I will be getting anesthesia in the IV and want to make sure I am not awake during this event. My colon is very sore inside all the time, belly too. It's the other autoimmune disease I have. It even hurts to press on the outside like the GI doctor does.

So all this to say yes.. I need to come off LDN, one to two days before. No biggy. That night I will start up again.

Marion, you have been on the MS roller coaster lately. Sorry to hear that. I hope you stay well for now, okay? The holiday time is always the pits for many of us. We get stressed or overdo things. LDN is great, but not a miracle. We still get stuff. (sigh)

Sally, I love your new avatar picture, you look terrific for a mature dame.
