[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 576704, member: 1233"] This guy is the one they send the patients with great fear and difficulty with getting numb and/or past experiences of being aware of surgery to. It is his specialty. I won't be in that twilight thing if I can avoid it. I want to be all the way out. I have had the twilight for several procedures and while I don't necessarily feel pain, I am ALWAYS aware of everything going on. No one believed me the first time until I repeated the 20 min of nonstop FILTHY jokes to my mother and the nurse. The nurse was so embarrassed because I was only 12. At least they were not pointing out anything on my body, the doctor was just telling dirty jokes. They have done some other things and I just won't do it again if it can be avoided. I do fine with general and it is hard to get to the point where the medications are wearing off so you are starting to feel pain but you cannot move or react. Not going to happen again and if they dont' like it? Tough tootsies. If I have to do the twilight I would just as soon they shoot me in the head with a 45. I am NOT at all joking and I am not suicidal at all. I just have come so very very close to being able to feel everything before they are done but I can't move or tell them other than my blood pressure goes nuts. Last time they thought I was going to have a stroke and afterwards I told them that I was actually concentrating on trying to raise my blood pressure so high so they would stop because it was all I could think of. Not sure I actually had any effect, but once I started feeding the panic and concentrating on making my heart pound, the pressure rose over 50 points. Twilight and I dont' get along. This dentist spoke with me about it and the notes the oral surgeon's assistant has already say "NO TWILIGHT - comes out of it early painwise", so I am fairly okay. Nitrous oxide is what I think you are talking about. For years they had to do that just to get me into the chair for a cleaning or checkup. I don't know why ANYONE goes every six mos for a cleaning. My teeth have always hurt for a week after any cleaning. I loathe them. I used to do all I could to brush so I didn't have to go to them. They may have to give me valium to get there. Not sure. I am glad that the pain docs will be doing all the rx's for the aftercare pain medications though. I know and trust them, and if I call screaming in pain, they will act on it.
