romany52 313 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I've had it with just the throat spray, tastes banana flavor, While it's not pleasant, you'll do some retching, once it's done you'll wonder what all the fuss was about, just relax, good luck mate.

gnasher16 30,025 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I have to have it done twice a year so have had it done 20 times or more at this stage, always been knocked out and never felt a thing. " never felt a thing " piss off .....................no point sticking a camera down they might just as well shine a f****n torch down your gregory by the sound of it !!

Nik_B 3,790 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Now its out of the way you know how bad it is I had the same last year and it was horrendous. Never again. Worst thing was they didn't find anything that can be treated, just inflammation I didn't get knocked out either I don't respond well to it and usually gibber like the town drunk.

LLama 9 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 nope they never sent me for tests , just said to make sure I mentioned it in the future , its on my records but I probably should go back and insist on a few tests , be nice to know what caused it.
