I know I have posted in the past about my constipation issues.  My doctor gave me some new drug called Amitiza back in January and it worked great... for a few weeks.  For the 3 weeks of samples I had i worked wonders!  I felt normal!  Then I spend $200 on the script (crappy insurance remember!)  And it stops working!  Needless to say I haven't had a good poop now in 2 weeks :(  A little but nothing to write home about LOL

So I called my doctor yesterday because she had mentioned if this doesn't work then I need to see another doctor.  She knows I am picky about doctors so she said a doctors name that is a colon rectal surgeon.. not because I need surgery but because she knows I will like her and feel comfortable with her.

Well the nurse called back yesterday and said she was sending me to a GI doctor.. and I said no Dr. G said she was sending me to such and such.

So tday while I am taking both boys to the doctor because they both have strep (nice huh) they call and left a message and said they had scheduled my colonoscopy and their office would be calling me soon and mailing me a packet!  WTH???  What happened to the office visit and hearing what she has to say?  Do I really need to jump into a colonoscopy at the age of 27??  Surely there is some other test that can be done or something?

My mom has had all these tests done and all came back fine.. it is a family thing.. she stil has problems going.  Do I really need to do this.. now?  I would think there would be like a "meet and greet" with the doctor LOL  Not a "see you on the table" for the first time meeting   LOL

I mean.. yeah its cause i don't want to get it done at all.. but also because I would think she would want to meet me and go over my history or an exam or something before we go that route ya know?!?!  So of course I am going to call tomorrow.. but if they suggest going on with it.. would you?  I know it might come down to that in the end... but..... now??  It could be the pelvic floor thing ya know?  LOL

Any way I just wanted to see what you think.. and if you have had it done how bad is it?  I see online that they don't even put you to sleep???  Are you kidding?  I would want to be UNDER for that.. it would be bad enough going to sleep knowing what they are doing.. let alone being awake during the thing and hearing them talking and what not... I don't think I could do that.  Don't get me wrong I am not a weenie by any means.. been through plenty of surgeries.. but this is different LOL
