Unlike years ago when they did it without any type of numbing, they now do it with anesthesia. I not only had the colonoscopy in my early 30's without anything, they did an upper scope where I had to swallow the camera and the cord. Not a good thing to do or remember being that young. I was so thankful about 3 1/2 years ago when I had to have a colonoscopy and they actually put me to sleep. Which means I am about due another one.
