Hi...I am getting my first colonoscopy next month and i'm wondering how RA does w/ anesthesia. Right now, I'm on Enbrel and a generic form of Plaquenil. Does anyone have any insight? Thank you.

I am 40 years old. Diagnosed with RA when I was 24. I have been under anesthesia several times. I have had my tonsils out, reconstructive knee surgery and had 2 colonoscopies. I had no side effects from the anesthesia. I currently take Enbrel and a low dose of prednisone. P.S. You'll love the warm blanket they put on you before the procedure!!!!!
thank you so much for the info! all the best....
