I'm so sorry to read about your hubby's terrible experience, Sally. Now you made me cry.

And gmi, you're facing this MS challenge alone too -- we ought to start a club! Even though mine was from divorce, we are friends again for maybe two days out of the year at family get-togethers, but it sure does get lonely sometimes. Of course now I would never think of saddling anyone with a wife who had this disease.
As for the versed, it wouldn't be good for me either being I have mitral valve prolapse and now take Digoxin for atrial fibrillation. Just the process of getting dressed, having my stiff legs forced into a car....not to mention getting up on a 'table' and going through the prep, is completely exhausting. Then with fibromyalgia and central pain syndrome, enough is enough.
Of course I couldn't get through to my neuro. "Somebody" is supposed to get back to me......we'll see, but bet it won't be him.
Take care.......
