Summary
Stone 99829, posting on the ME/CFS subreddit, described bowel prep for a colonoscopy. On the first prep the broth and apple juice were barely enough to take Ultram without nausea, doses had to be taken one at a time and never quite worked, and the final day was misery from beginning to end. Another colonoscopy is due and is dreaded.
