1 sachet, it is the recommended dose I think....

Tabby - you can count on me buddy !!! Just stay in a corner and do this and I will do this :cat02: and this to them and than we both will he he !!! Only 4 more weeks buddy :sprinkleheart: and I am sure that it is going to be your last Botox
Yes- maybe they will just use less of GA or something ! Twilight they use here VERY often for many procedures (for colonoscopy too). They give us something by the IV and it makes us sleep and relax in the most wonderful way LOL - I woke up both times smiling LOL- maybe it makes patients feel too good so they are afraid we might start coming to the hospitals during night and raid the reserves
Best of luck buddy

Dear Tabby,great news been thinking of you and wondering how your appt went.i logged on in the morning to wish you but it wouldnt let me post a reply.donno why.then i had to go out.
too bad you have to wait till jan for botox.i think its too long but i know how the nhs works.hope all goes well for you

Corsi-it is very frustrating and sad but you will get through this difficult time.

Corsi,
My GI doc told me I could take as much as I need of Miralax. I am currently taking about a sachet and a half daily.

…Fissy I like the dancing part at the end ! You are too funny sometimes !! :wub:
Thanks Pinky – Do you know what this twilight stuff is ????
I know it is such a bummer I cannot have the shot sooner but what else can I do
That is just the way our NHS operate
Maybe a cancellation will come my way , maybe I could buy some botox off the internet - My hubby has a good aim !!
God give me strength I am going to need it !!
Corsi – My meds say I can take one/two sachets !

God give me strength I am going to need it !!
Something tells me you are way stronger than you ever realize, Tabster! I for one have no doubts but that you're gonna do just great!

Tabby,twilight is inbetween sleep and unconsiousness.patient is sedated but maynot be unconsiousness.its like iv sedation.local anaesthetic is also given to the area so that the patient doesnt feel the pain.most of the drugs are the same like they use in GA but in lower doses.if the sedation is less,one can be awake but maynot remember anything on waking up.its quite confusing.hope im clear.

I was completely "knocked out " LOL - I spent time in the recovery room to wake up - that is "how deep" in my dreams I was Yes, they absolutely can make you semi-conscious if it is necessary for the certain procedures or can put you into deep sleep depending of how much they administer. I also think that since I do not even use alcohol on regular bases or any other drugs that it had such immediate and complete effect on me BUT, I also told my anesthesiologist every time that I want to be "out" completely and they honored my wish. They would "wink" at me and just let it drip even before it was time for it LOL. I LOVED them for that so much - I tried to find first one to send him "thank you" note but surgi-center was of no help with informations so I gave up. In my next life I will marry anesthesiologist so I can have "some of that" on "as needed" bases Would come handy so many times in my life

Thanks Cheryl & Tabby
