Anyone with Long Covid, POTs, CFS have a Colonoscopy?

Posted by lindy1965 @lindy1965, Feb 5 11:16am

I just had a Positive Cologuard test so I know I am facing a Colonoscopy. Has anyone undergone a Colonoscopy while having these conditions? What was your experience? Any advice?

@debbiedsf There is only 1 prep that I know of in the Chicagoland area and it’s the gallon of stuff that you have to drink! I will do it with pleasure, as I had 18” of my colon removed due to severe diverticulitis from eating the wrong foods my entire life! I’m now back on track with healthy foods for my body and besides having Long Covid, my colon is just fine.

@debbiedsf I will do the prep that is best to see all the polyps in the colon. I’ve already had 18” of my colon removed due to severe diverticulitis. I don’t want any more removed!

I have POTS and have had colonoscopies every 10 years. It went OK— ate light meals before doing prep and had no problems.
