When I had an endoscopy/colonoscopy I am pretty sure they used the same camera for both ends. Luckily I slipped the doctor $10 to do the top first.

1. Issues with handwriting?-- Yes. Sometimes I'll be at work writing something and my hand will feel like it's not working properly at all. Have to struggle to write, but then the next day it's better.2. Increase on decrease with catching colds or flus?-- No. Get about the same number of colds and flus that I always have.3. Cracking sounds in areas such as your neck, back, or feet?-- Yes. Where my right leg connects to my hip is probably the most frequent spot.4. Symptoms of IBS?-- Yes. Since I was 10 years old. Varying degrees of success in self-treatment which generally consists of trying to relax, eating 35 g of fiber per day + drinking about 1.5 gallons of water per day.5. Trouble with your balance?-- Yes. I still have what I would consider good balance, but sometimes it's really, really off.6. Trouble (percieved) swallowing?-- Not really. I've had this in the past but I am convinced it was all in my head.7. Increase in headaches?-- Yes. I've had migraines since I was 14. I've had really, really bad ones in the past including blindness, numbness, etc. My whole family gets them. Lately they are less severe (likely because I take Excedrin at the first sign of them) but more frequent.8. Tongue twitches?-- No. At least I don't think so. I refuse to look.9. Twitching in your back or abdomen?-- Yes. Abdomen twitching is one of the first places I noticed twitching before it went ALL OVER.10. Do you or did you watch the HBO series True Blood??-- No.
