sedation for BMB

Thank you! Since being diagnosed with MDS in July 11, I have had 2 bone marow biopsies and found them to be barbaric and unbearable. The pain was excrutiating. I dread the day I hear that I need another one. After just 2 rounds of Vidaza, I am black and blue, have lumps under the skin, and pain and marks where every injection and transfusion has gone in the last 30 days. Last week I counted 20 times i was stabbed, so the thought of sedation for the next BMT is so civilized. I will hold out for sedation.
Love this forum.
