I have a CT Colonography tomorrow and start Picolax at 2pm today, I had barely any sleep last night and am already exhausted and extremely stressed, how well does Picolax and am I likely to get any sleep tonight? I'm terrified about the whole process and the outcome. Any advice appreciated.

My apologies also for misreading colonography for colonoscopy.

I had a colonoscapy a few years ago. I had 1mil of sedation and 1 mil of pain killer and didn't feel anything. I was so nervous that the nurse held my hand all the way through. I was awake and saw everything on the screen. Diagnosed with IBS nothing else wrong TG.
Glad yours all went well OP.

No apology necessary, Artols, it's easily done and your reply maybe helped someone else.

I had a colonography some months ago and it was the best procedure ever. Nothing like the colonoscopy which was so painful they had to stop. The procedure for a colonography is a doddle compared. Even the prep didnt seem so bad and I hated that part. Made me so sore but using Vaseline helped no end this time so no soreness at all. The procedure is over before you know it. Dont worry.
