WOOHOO!!!! So happy for you Vrae!! This is such fantastic news and a break that you definitely needed!!!

I hope the block and meds work for you! I have had LOTS of blocks, you will be fine. I prefer not to have sedation with them because it is just another needle and more groggy feeling. I figure the uncomfortableness of getting the block is only temporary and nothing like the pain of flares I have...again, you will be fine!!

So happy for you!!
I think I'm lucky to have the P.M. Dr. I have as well.

I was so very afraid of the nerve blocks in the beginning as well.
Now, I think I'm going on number 22.
What type of block are they proposing? Ask what type of guidance
they use too.
I haven't been given the option of patches, what is that like?

I have had a few too..yes make sure you are sedated.I had one once in the office not sedated and lets just say not good..It only helped one spot,for a short time.tried a few more,and then we gave it up,because he could not get the right nerves..He said I was a hard case.So hope it goes well.Make sure you ask questions about sedation..best wishes
