36 F 125 pounds. I got my first bone marrow biopsy this morning and when I arrived my heart rate was so high from nerves they gave me Xanax. After my heart rate calmed they were also going to give me twilight sedation with fentanyl and versed. I felt relaxed from the Xanax but there was not any point where I felt more relaxation from the IV sedation at all. I kind of thought I was going to be totally knocked out. I was fully alert and could hear everything going on. Even with local numbing, I also still felt the pain of the biopsy. I’m not sure if I just wasn’t given enough sedation or if I am somehow more intolerant to it, but I’m just curious if anyone else’s situation was similar. Thank you!

Hi there!! Going to a friends birthday dinner at Toothesome at city walk and have not been there in years. Just looking for what location I should put in my uber to drop me off at? From my understanding security is before city walk now too so I want to allow extra time. I appreciate any help!

Next week I’ll be getting a ct scan guided bone marrow biopsy done at interventional radiology with twilight sedation. To be honest I’m extremely nervous! Just wondering what to expect as far as the twilight sedation? Are you totally knocked out or semi conscious? Do you feel any pain? I appreciate any input!

36 year old female here. I’ve had platelet levels ranging from 500-700 for the past few years. Even after correcting my low iron levels, platelets remain high. I had an MPN panel and all were negative. My spleen ultrasound came back normal. My hematologist now wants to do a bone marrow biopsy and NGS panel, however I am extremely nervous about the procedure. Is it worth doing considering my ultrasound and MPN panel came back okay? Should I ask my dr if he could prescribe Valium for the procedure?

Last time I tried to get my prescription from my eye dr to order online, they gave me a really hard time because they wanted me to buy glasses from their store. After almost 15 minutes of going back and forth they finally agreed, but it was very awkward and uncomfortable. I’m going to a new eye dr this week, and was wondering what the best way is to approach getting my prescription and denying getting glasses from the Dr office. I appreciate any tips!! Being shy doesn’t help😭 lol
