Could this be related or do I have some strange virus? I also have a headache and feel nauseous, but dont have a cold or cough. All I could do yesterday was sleep on and off all day. Some of the discomfort was alleviated by nurofen and an anti histamine.

Corrrrrrrrrrrr am I glad Im out the other side of that ordeal. Came home late last night from hospitalTake a look at my rather lovely and graphic details of colonoscopy prep, make sure youve had food 1st!

Well Ive been diagnosed with proctitis, which is the rectal version of colitis,nice!

I have 21 days of Nsaids & a 21 days of lovely foam hydrocortisone enema twice daily!

Consultant sees no reason why I shouldnt go back to my normal diet , but now Ive been eating differently and read up on diet/stress relation to this, Im having a hard think about it all.

The thought is that I have an underlying auto immune disease still , btu they dont know what it is yet, if ever. IM still waiting on other test results and biopsy from my colonoscopy.

Felt pretty odd all day , as they sleep draft/sedative is sooo strong, have just laid in bed like a zombie! Now feeling a it more human.

Have several more follow ups and poss some more tests, ick!

The beat goes on as they say!

i know it the amnesia drug,its hypnovel which is the date rape drug. I didnt remember anything for 24 hours and i felt zapped too. Dont forget,your body knows its had a trauma, so just rest for 24 hours.

When i had my colonoscopy i was booked in for a colposcopy the same day with the gynae doc at 6pm. I went down with my boyfriend to the gynae ,had ther procedure done (legs akimbo etc) and then 2-3 hours later i said...'oh i have missed my gynae appt'. To which he replied....youve had it done,had a chat with doc and had you tea blah blah blah. The frightening thing is ,I remembered nothing.[yikes]

Getting there slow alypaly. Im gradually trying to get back into normal routine, by doing a little bit more every few days. Im normally one for throwing self back in full throttle and this time I know it cant be that way, phasing is best. Think its an ME technique I was reading about. Small bursts then rest and calm. Hard with 2 littlies under 6 though!

Have lots of friends helping out with my dd's here & there so I can rest or get some shopping. Ive been a refugee in a few houses this wk & one took me into local town today to get out!

I think Im ok and then get all wobbly and loose balance,keep falling over, probably my blood sugar , as Im still restricting my diet, as some things still trigger wind/no BM/pain in err bits etc! Dont really know what to do yet. Im always hungry right now.
