Firstly, after reading comments on PH about this stuff before, I have to say it's nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, I've had far worse experiences from eating food that didn't agree with me. There's certainly no situations where I've had to rush to the toilet or any feelings I can't control my bottom, perhaps I'm just lucky?

Anyway, I had the second sachet at 3pm. It's now 8:25pm. I feel it's achieved it's purpose. How much longer will I be crapping water out of my arse? Quite frankly, I'm bored of it. Will the effects subside as the hours go on or am I going to have to continue throughout the night?

ETA: Also, can someone define a 'clear soup'. Obviously, soup without bits in it. But just how 'clear' exactly, as I don't think I've ever seen a 'clear' soup.

I too have no idea what a clear soup is. I usually just have a glass of water. The "urge" subsides and sleep is no problem barring the thought of what they might find! Try not to talk too much rubbish when sedated tomorrow. GL.

Clear soup is one you can see through. Think broth, rather than cream of tomato, vegetable etc.

Thankfully the effects had worn off by about 10pm and I slept pretty well.

I was in for a Sigmoidoscopy.

I spent yesterday reading the Agent Picolax thread and have to say, whilst amusing, the reality wasn't anywhere near as bad as Blutone made out.

The worse part was the uncomfortable pain once the endoscope was in pretty far, I suddenly had images of being perforated and being taken to theatre as they warned could happen.

It's the ten minutes on the toilet after they've finished that was embarassing, I'm sure they could hear me from the other side of the hospital.Oh, and that all three of the nurses who gave me the sigmoidoscopy were fit, not one of them was ugly.

In prep for a colonoscopy (totally pleasant procedure thanks to great drugs) I was on Picolax and senna pods.

Situation wasn't unpleasant nor uncontrollable but I wouldn't have set off on a long car journey either. Left work a bit early before taking the concoction and worked from home for the fasting day before a morning visit to Blackheath Hospital.

I should also point out that I wasn't given, nor even offered, the sedative. I guess they figured "ah, he's 28 and a man, he can take it"!

They should start calling it the rapeoscopy, on account of them not even providing you with a paper towel to clean up with afterwards. They just leave you lying there, dripping, and tell you to pull your pants back up.

Maybe they were disgusted by the raging erection you were sporting by the end of the procedure.

I was most disappointed that things didn't pan out the way they do in those 'documentaries' I've seen hehe

hehe Let me guess... and the sigmoidoscope turned out to be nothing more than an elaborate, battery-driven sex toy that they were planning to use on each other?

It was too much to expect that, huh?

NHS cuts, isn't it. When I had a colonoscopy 5 years ago, things were much different. They went a lot further...











All the way to the end of my small intestine.

Did they leave you in the foetal position too, KY dripping out your bottom, wimpering quietly as they tell you to sort yourself out and leave?

Nope, I had a consultant telling me "work the camera, make love to the camera". Then they wheeled me to the recovery room. Yours sounds a bit self-service! Cut backs, clearly!
