Hey everyone,

so in two weeks I am having my first lidocaine infusion. I am a little bit worried because I am renowned for my low tolerance of drugs. I am completely intolerant to opioids and suffer severe headaches and dizziness after anaesthetics and sedation.

My consultant has decided to send me for a full pre operative assessment because of this, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had any problems with them? Another consultant I saw at a specialist hospital last week didn't think I would even make it through the entire infusion because of side effects but Im trying to ignore that.
