No, you don't. I passed out the last time I had that done, and I'm gay.

Parador, I'm sorry about my comment in this thread. I hope you're doing better these days.

I'm sorry for all your troubles, Parador. Occasionally I'll have a day or two where certain foods hurt all the way down.. not sure if that is heartburn or not. I try to eat healthy though. I remember that at one time I was on a megadose vitamin regime and that was awful -- everything I put in my mouth hurt going down. It's tough when eating hurts.

I have some hydrocodone mixed with acetaminophen (sp?) left over from when I had my dental work. I also have trazodone (sp?) they gave me to sleep better. I blame that for making me wake up groggy so I never took it. But I reserve these meds for emergencies. Good thing you have the same sort of idea.

You guys talking about a colonoscopy? Because I was supposed to get that done like 3 years ago. Several years ago I got stuck taking somebody to one and he had a very hard time, puking and all. They had to keep him in there longer than usual.

I know that there are some newfangled noninvasive type of procedures to check a person for colon cancers, but they require the same prep and my insurance doesn't cover it. I might be willing to pay out of pocket for it though.

There wasn't anything wrong with your comment. I just hope if I get kidnapped and have a kidney stolen they take the bad one. Maybe I should make a scar on my back near the good kidney to fool them....

I have no idea what Marcuss is talking about. I should get my butt scoped but since I have gastro problems I should get my esophagus and stomach scoped. In fact they recommended that a few years ago when I ended up in the ER with a meatball stuck just above my stomach. All the acid reflux caused the esophagus to narrow. It can also cause Barrett's esophagus which can lead to cancer ... so I really should get it checked. But I don't want to..

Heartburn is when acid in the stomach goes up into the esophagus and it hurts It doesn't always hurt that much though. It can be very painful. Some people mistake it for a heart attack. Mine doesn't usually get that painful but I do get reflux a lot.
