Honey I feel for you! I know that they hurt like the dickens as I've had several. Once at Texas Children's the technician told Michael that it didn't hurt that bad and to stop acting like a baby. I stopped it right there and demanded another technician. When he had his EEG a few weeks ago, the one on the side of the face was the worst. The tech didn't see that she had put the tape in his sideburn and when she ripped it off, it took off half his sideburn. Poor thing. His skin is very sensitive and it looked just like yours, especially on his face and chest.

There just has to be a better way of doing this. The scraping and cleaning is so painful. I hate just like you said above when the techs say it's just a little uncomfy...balderdash! You and I are adults and know that it does hurt like a *****.

Biggest of gentle hugs!
