I've gone ahead and scheduled a doctors appointment for the bowel problems that have been plaguing me for the last 8 months or so. It's been odd and worrisome. I'm not having *D but there is a sense of urgency when I have to go and sometimes I'll pass gobs of mucous inbetween the stool. It happens often enough that I feel it has compromised my life. I worry about it quite a bit when it happens because it just doesn't seem right or normal. You might think that now that I've finally scheduled an appointment that I would feel better, yes? But actually, it's made me feel even more anxious because I know exactly what will happen. Colonoscopy. I'm ABSOLUTLEY TERRIFIED of the preperation involved. I know that it can give the doctor important answers...but it's the one thing that's kept me from seeking help for this issue. UGH!!!!! HELP!!!
