I'm glad that things went better for you, Kathy. Aren't drugs wonderful at times?

it is the lack of them during pain situations which increases anxiety tenfold. no wonder i am always a basket case before. no more. I certainly would not want to take this on a regular basis however, except for my injections, because only one pill leaves you pretty spacy for a long time.

I'm in total agreement. I was just teasing a little about the "drugs". When used properly, they can be a real help. I see no harm in taking a little something every couple of months if your injections are extremely painful for you. Just stay away from the aspirin products. Kathy, you might try just taking a half tablet and still use the EMLA cream and see how that works since the one tablet makes you spacy. It might work just as well. I don't see the point of suffering through the injections if you are one that they are really difficult for. I know that they are over quickly but just the anxiety of thinking about those few moments, itself, can makes things worse.

No i am extremely grateful to have had the painkiller and the advice from you. My entire attitude is already much better. i'm sure it will take a few times to get over being a basketcase prior to I-day (injection), and yes they surely were painful. ha ha
