Ok so procedure went well. I could feel the versed kick in but I felt "fine"...I just felt relaxed. No paradoxical reaction. somewhere in there came the fentanyl and next thing I knew I was waking up.
Apparently I was just silly/loopy with my comments on the way home. I slept for a good hour at home after.
As I write this the swelling and discomfort is starting to kick in, but for now I feel calm. So I'm so grateful for this. Already this is a better experience than last time. But I know to wait a few days till my body has totally rid itself of the meds to be super sure of how this went.
Interestingly, when discussing this with my neurologist last month, trying to problem solve together, his answer was to have a benzo one time with the other meds bc it would counteract the hyperasthesia from other meds. I hated the thought of it, but I'm starting to wonder if he was right.
Its kind of like when addicts know that if they've had too much say cocaine, if they have a couple drinks it will counteract it and visa versa.
So for now its apple sauce and ice packs:) Thanks for the support on here! I'll keep you guys posted!!
