Welcome to the forum. I do so understand the anesthesia issue. I can not do generals. I just had a issue last week. I got an injection for bursitis and the doctor said no more, that he wants to remove the bursa in my hip and it requires a general. My rheum and neuro say 'no way'. So now what....live with this hideous pain? I say, give me the shot, who cares!

Rheum says it does no good to remove connective tissue....it will just recur elsewhere. It is systemic. But, the doctor doesn't get it that some people can not do anesthesia.

I also have a cough, but I have mild lung fibrosis, autoimmune issues. I am sure the neuropathy is an issue too.

Ugh, today it is a severe headache.

I do hope you feel better. I am glad you found out what the issue was. I have kids the same age as yours and lovely grandkids too. They are the light of my life.

Well, again, welcome.
