I have no desire to live a long life as a quad. I've already put in close to 40 Quad years, I'm 57 now. My pain is out-of-control even though I take morphine … all my meds are pain meds. My scoliosis is only going to get worse and the arthritis in my neck too. I've never had so many different sores on my butt in different places … I have a sorry, skinny, flat ass. Dose anybody else not want to go through "disease hunting" procedures?

If it isn't squeaky clean they can't do the procedure. I just can't go through it Meredith From: "Nan" <nlg52...@yahoo.com> To: jume9...@comcast.net, quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2013 9:49:43 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] BP/Colonoscopy I know the prep is shitty for all of us, pun intended, but at least I know I don't have colon cancer...

The prep is a bitch, but I'd rather know what's going on... Do you have other problems that prevent you from having a colonoscopy?

It's different than diarrhea. I don't know why you can't take a colonoscopy. It's difficult for quadriplegics, but it can definitely be done. The protocol here is really intensive and requires hospitalization.

Also, ask your Dr. About Amitiza. Pill form up to 4,8 or 24 mcg. I take monstrous amounts of opiates and the pills along with fiber keep me regular. You will need to experiment with dosages to find the right balance for you.

I've been pooping rocks and nothing has helped. I've tried Miralax, softeners, etc. I don't want to use too much, that hurts just as much. I keep using it more often, but I've never had to drink Miralax more than 2 times in a week. Then I can go months without it. I'm on my like 6th dose in 2 weeks. I want to double over in pain. G
