Re: hanna

the epidural is given next to the spinal cord. a spinal goes right in the spinal cord. yes, they have lots of practice so it is relatively safe. what the medicine is that they use for an epi, i dont know. sounds like fluoridated meds to me(pass through the barrier more easily.)

ask, ask, ask questions. not knowing can make you more fearful and that can enhance pain. also lay off the vit c and selenium and Iodine for a few days before. they will make you need more meds to be effective.
