Helen,

Please just know that your oppinion is always welcome! I also agree with you about sedation and also agree that some do need it so they stay calm. I am glad that I had it the first time, because I was extremely nervous, but now a piece of cake, because I know what to expect and like the fact I will not be sleeping the rest of the day away! LOL

Hi everyone --Hope you don't mind if I put my opinion in here. I have had many blocks over the past five years, both with and without sedation. The doc used Versid (spelling?) and one day forgot to give it to me. Although I was nervous and my muscles tensed, there was no pain or discomfort and best of all, I was awake later in the day. Not zonked out for a day or two. After that, I went without sedation and never had a problem with the muscles tensing up. I would much rather go without sedation. However, some people need the sedation just to get through it. Do what is best for you.
