Thank you both, for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I feel reassured in knowing that the lead apron was not used in for you either.

I do have a lot of allergies, so it could have been something along the lines of the aneseptic or possibly even something in the mixture of marcaine and cortocosteroids (sp?). I think she used clonodine also, not sure, I know she mentioned it.

Also, I understand the idea of the flushing from the epinephrine, but that much later???

Oh well, I'll see what the Dr. says today. I spoke with the oncall anes. on Sat. night. He offered to have me come to the E.R., but since I could breath and wasn't itchy, I decided to forgo the hour and then some ride to the city.

Thanks again ladies,

Cala
