Why oh why didn't you take the sedative? After stupidly mentioning I had to have a camera up my snout down into my lungs to mates I was mercilessly told how much pain I'd be in and how it can all go tits up. By the time I got to the hospital I'd have took anything. Turns it wasn't that bad and I found it fascinating watching the screen seeing the inside of my own body. All on our brilliant NHS.

I am surprised they gave you the option of not having it,they give you sedation for a reason,either it is going to be painful or they need you to keep still

I hated it mate, even the anesthetic down before the camera. At least found out what was up and now on 7 tablets a day so worth the discomfort

I've had the camera down my throat twice now without sedation. Just a quick spray of anaesthetic at the back of the throat beforehand, then the camera down. Not very pleasant, invoking the gag reflex a couple of times, but no harm done. My late wife had sedation before her camera "down", as she found swallowing very difficult (no innuendo meant).

FFS Daz are you utterly fucking mental?????
And I hate to think which 'end' they put the scope!
If it didn't hurt, they wouldn't offer sedation!

I think with all the deliberate misinformation I was given by piss taking old blokes plus going on the internet for medical advice I could hardly sleep the night before. Bricking it pal. Had the sedative and can't really remember much else other than the telly. No bother compared to having a swab were the doc puts a cotton bud looking thing down your japs eye. That made me cry.
