Tomorrow I go in for a combination colonoscopy and endoscopy.

Today I am on a clear liquid diet. Yuck. I have a headache, but I can't take ibuprofen for it, and the Tylenol I took isn't making a dent in it.

Wish me luck.

Is this just a routine one, or was there a problem?

Both. I have been having almost perpetual diarrhea most of the time with occasional bouts of extreme "block the toilet" constipation. I have been having abdominal pains. Cancer runs rampant in my family; both my father and his father died from colon cancer. I've been considered "high risk" for cancer since my early 20s because it takes me less time to name the relatives who haven't had cancer than those who've had it.
