I had the opposite experience every time I had a anesthetic it took days for pd to go back to normal I’d have dyskinesia and internal shaking even the dentist was not good BruceKennedy I now avoid it unless absolutely necessary I tell doctor to give me minimum amount or nothing I would rather put up with a bit of discomfort than few days of dyskinesia pd is different for every one so you might have no problem I hope you do good luck with colonoscopy

Me too. All was good without any problems with anesthesia at all. Glad you did well!!

Thank you all for responding, your comments put me at ease!
I came through great with the anesthesia and my colon was clear!!!!!
Thanks for your support!

I always consult my movement disorder dr. before going for surgery.
I use the "Medications That May Be Contraindicated in Parkinson’s Disease" sheet from the Hospital kit supplied by the pd foundation. Give one to every nurse and Dr.

I keep the kit updated and in my car. I try to talk to the anesthesiologist before.
Before taking these precautions recovery could be 8-10 hours. last time I had kidney stones removed was in recovery for 2 hrs.

good luck

i was put under for a colonoscopy and i was fine. it was just like i took a short nap but if concerned let your dr know he or she should be able to put you at ease my dr knew how nervous i was and talked to me and put me at ease whatever you do let your dr know you are nervous and worried
