Hello again....lol. Wanted to let everyone know about what happened to
me last
week when I was scheduled for a colonoscopy. I know alot of people have
this test done. There is a new way of them cleaning your intestines for
this test
will pills instead of drinking the gallon of stuff.(Go lightly)? I think
it is called? Anyway the pills are called Visicol. My doctor prescribed
them for me
to take the day before the test. I was to take 4 pills every 15 minutes
with *
ounces of water, for an hour. Total of 20 pills. The morning of the
test I was
to take 4 pills, then 15 minutes later 4 more. Total of 8 pills the day
of the test. I did as instructed and when it came time for the test,
when he got inside he couldn't continue because there was still stool in
there!! The amount of pills was not enough to clean you out!! Apparently
the original dosage for these pills was 40 total.....not 28. He thought
we could get by with
only 28...NOT. Of course he said we will reschedule the test again and
I will take the 40 dosage this time....No Way! lol He had his chance and
blew it.
I think I will wait another year before I put myself through that again.
Anyhow I just wanted everyone to know about it. If your doctor gives
you the pills to clean your intestines for a test...make sure you get
enough of the pills to do the trick!! The dosage is 40.
Hope everyone is doing all right. All of you are always in my
prayers...Love and painfree hugs to all.....Cheryl Cole in Michigan
