Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I just got the notice in the mail today - it's time to go in and see my GI in February. I already know why - it is time to get a J pouch scope done and probably an ERCP too. I've been dreading this tremendously - actually much more than normal. I had a really strange scare a few months ago with my PSC and although my labs have returned to a more normal level for me since then, I am absolutely terrified of what might be found. I've been through 19 colonoscopies, 2 j-pouch scopes, and 1 ERCP and I was never as terrified beforehand as I am now. Perhaps it is because the last time I had a colonoscopy done with my longtime/local GI is when we found out that I would need my J pouch and also led to my PSC diagnosis. Now, it is the same GI (whom I think is a great Dr) that will be doing my pouch scope and ERCP. Do any of you have problems with anxiety with upcoming scopes? How do you handle it? Am I being unusually anxious here? On the other hand, I would absolutely love to have these done and get a good report. Any suggestions or feedback here would be great.
