Thanks for all the replies!


I always have dh drive me to that place. Even without something like versed in me, the shots themselves freak me out (mentally - I get way nervous just thinking about that).


Sally - just goes to show like I always say, what works for some can be bad for others. That's where this forum is so valuable. Sorry it had a bad effect on you - but now you know and can find alternative anesthesias.

I may opt not to go with versed anyway, since it makes you that sleepy. After the FJD, I'm supposed to try to agravate the nerves and see if it helps the sx. I doubt I could do that if I'm that tired, and I wouldn't know if the test was pos or neg.



And the pain doc did say this was nowhere near like the ESI - I did those without versed or anything.
