[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 119909, member: 84"] Local anesthesia for some weird reason doesn't work well for me. I've gotten so I dread ever needing it for something. Because if I can't get the person administering the drug to listen to me, I'm there feeling the darn procedure. It's horrible. And if I happen to yell out cuz it hurts like **** they look at me like I've lost my mind. For my teeth, our insurance covers for us to be asleep. So I'm going to try that route this time around. I've had too much of getting to feel the whole thing of whatever was being done. It is NOT fun sitting there with tears streaming down your face. (gee I wonder why I have severe anxiety over dentists? lol) For anything else I won't let them touch me until I'm positive the area is numb. Because it always takes ALOT more anesthesia than it should. But then again, I tend to throw off normal anesthia after surgery exceptiionally fast. (at least that's what they always tell me) And once I'm awake I stay awake and am fully alert. So maybe one has something to do with the other. My poor mother in law is the opposite. Any anesthesia makes her terribly physically ill, and usually makes her so groggy she can't function for days. [/QUOTE]
