Guest guest Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 ..Wow, maybe that's our 'whitecoat fear' solution Sharon. Be seen by a PA rather than a dr! My lower back pain is still here as always but it's probably lesions on my spine. And no, I won't go for an MRI. I didn't realize you weren't getting regular mammos so now I'll start nagging you. I have never felt any pain with them. But a colonoscopy would scare the bejeezus out of me! It's never been suggested that I have one but that's par for the course with drs up here. You'll do fine ... hugs, Cait doctor appt today I was so bummed out when I got there because they said my doc wasn't there! Turns out she was air flighted to Phoenix for emergency back surgery yesterday. They said they brought in a PA from sdale to see Dr. J's patients for the next few months. I almost walked out but I decided to stay. I was seen first my a medical student from the U.of A. med school. She was great and seemed excited to get to do a neuro exam:) lol The PA wants me to have a chest xray because of my chronic cough. She also wants to have xrays on my lower back due to the pain I'm having. She feels stumped by the pain and soreness I described because her exam showed no reason for it that she could identify. She also will refer me for a mammogram. And the biggie for me is she wants me to have a colonscopy! I have refused to have one before because I'm a huge wimp. But I guess I will follow through this time. The lower back pain is getting pretty bad for me. Something is wrong. I have made a habit of refusing medical tests over the years. Right or wrong --that's the way I am. I hope it wasn't a mistake to refuse all these years, you know? Before my appointment I went to Walmart for my monthly shopping trip. I had my hair cut at the salon when I first got there so now I feel human again. lol hugs to each SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I've had a few colonoscopies, and Sharon, there is no reason to avoid them other than the prep - but different doctors do the prep differently. My first colonoscopy I didn't have the standard prep, and I had a lot of problems with it, but my second colonoscopy I had the standard prep and that worked out much better for me. The procedure itself is a breeze - they knock you out, so you don't know anything. Tina ..Wow, maybe that's our 'whitecoat fear' solution Sharon. Be seen by a PA rather than a dr!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have had over 30 colonoscopies (due to cystic fibrosis) and was never tranquilized,nor anaesthatized. Fell asleep during one of them. The "prep" apparently took care ofthe problem, of as one of my brothers put it, "That submarine is not getting throughthat Panama Canal." Needed a bit of help! Better to have it done than not--can avoidso many problems, "down the line," as my brother put it!Love to you,Tina, and to you, Sharon, and to all of you,n, who also has endoscopies (former Barrett's Esophagitis" done without anytranquilizer nor anaesthesia-- I have a great gastro-enterologist! ..Wow, maybe that's our 'whitecoat fear' solution Sharon.
