s come true I have to have a colonoscopy. :eek: I would rather have anything than that, OMG I have never had anything like that. :mad: I feel for people who have colon cancer, godless them, I don't do that kind of thing well. MRI, blood tests, even a spinal tap, but that, oh that is not good. I found out a friend of mine has been doing something I disagree with and I went off the chain, this is not me, I feel like my personality has change, what happen to the sweet person I was. Has your personality change? I think that is the hardest thing about all this, I lost my self and I don't think it will come back.

Hi, I hear you and I feel for you.

The colonoscopy isn't so bad, once you get the night before, the rest is a easy. I wore so funny sox and took a black marker and drew a circle around my B__, I just had to do something for laughter. I never had a child, so I was so embarrassed. But please go and have this done.

I also can understand the anger (I think is was you said).
I too have become a different person. and I don't like her.
My is due to being B-12 and folic acid deficience.
I really can't find what is happening to me. I have told so many people off (for no reason) this is really affecting my marriage.

I took Keppra at one time, I couldn't take the side effects.
I'm on dilantin (this is reason for the deficiency) and klonopin.
It's hard to except, that I am a different person. I'm become paranoid, Very sensitive OH the list goes on. I trying to find out to live my life this way.

Today is going to be a better day for both you and me.
 
Oh no! I don't blame you for not looking forward to the colonoscopy. I can think of a lot of unpleasant things I'd rather do too. But, from what I've heard, I think jyearta's right. I drove a friend of mine to her appointment and waited in the little waiting room for family and friends of people who were having "the procedure". I could hear some of what was being said inside, and she was so relaxed on the meds they gave her she was flirting with the doctor:roflmao:

I'm afraid I've always been a bit moody, but until recently, not angry. So yes, I do feel like I'm more on edge, like the anger is closer to the surface. But I'm not sure how much is the Keppra and how much is the fact that I feel like my life is passing me by and I don't know what to do to get it back. I know that compared to many, I have a lot to be grateful for, and I am grateful, but ...

Anyway, good luck with the colonoscopy! I hope the meds they give you make you feel as good as my friend did:) And I really hope your blood counts are back up!

Take care and keep in touch:)
