Title: I Wonder if Electro Can Drive You Insane....
Post by: rhonda13000 on June 11, 2007, 01:14:30 PM
i've been working constantly since 09:00 EDT...and then i was enraged...and then i was crying uncontrollably......

i know that it gets better, though.

i've heard it said that the constant low to moderate level pain and discomfort induced by....long periods of electro...can have a.........bad effect upon your mind....

who in hell knows - i'm not a psychologist................

Constant low or high levels of pain can effect your mood and attitude.

I have constant levels of pain caused by nerve damage from diabetes.

i normally use xylocaine w/epi, sub-q.

i'm not using it at the moment....

crap.....i wanted to be conservative and judicious in its use, but.....i guess that if you find yourself going into a mental....stupor, that might indicate its use.

Use just enough to dull the pain and get you through the appointment.

Have you tried Aleve?  My preference is Ibuprophin.
