Think I should ask for oxygen?

I'm not sure breathing through your nose or mouth has much to do with your oxygen. Do you have an oxygen tester you put on your finger? I'm sure you can ask them for oxygen but if you don't have low oxygen levels naturally they probably won't give you one. Even with all my breathing problems, somehow my oxygen levels stayed in an acceptable level so they never gave me oxygen, just inhalers with steroids.

Just thoughts off my head.

Prep definitely was the worst part.

One one centimeter polyp removed.

Yeah the prep has gotten better than the first time I had one done but it's still nasty.
Only one polyp that's not bad at all glad to hear everything came out well. You shouldn't have to have another colonoscopy for a few years.

Every three years they say.
Thank you for the well wishes.

Yes. The price you pay. My neuropathy was at a new level a week ago. Probably due to atmospheric changes. Felt like my feet were plugged in to a wall socket. The gabapentin was not very effective.

Has this happened before or is this something new? Make sure you talk to your doctor he/she may have to adjust or change to something more effective if there is something else. Gabapentin has helped me with numbness in legs & feet but I don't have quite the problem with my back as you do.

I am taking enough gabapentin to fell an elephant--or so they tell me. It does affect my memory and cognitive ability to an extent. I periodically have much worse pain that other times. May review my medications again when I switch to a doctor her closer to my home next month. Just want to get this surgery behind me first. Then we'll see.

Yeah I was at 97% at the doctor's office the other day. I'll see what they advise.

Glad to hear!

You may ask yourself; how do I work this?
