Hi Sunny, thank you so much for responding about your iv. Can you please tell me if this was an IVIG or was it an IV for rituxan? I'll look forward to hearing from you thanks again Rose

@bustrbrwn22, and Rose, The Ivy was for a light AKA Twilight AKA conscious sedation for the procedure to get my steroid spinal injection. They use something like Propofol to make you not move, and a benzodiazepine such as Valium and something else I believe. A lot of people do not have this and in fact, I suffer through my first three steroid injections back in the day before I got my first of three back surgeries. I am currently facing a fourth but for a different reason which is severe canal stenosis so that would be for a decompression surgery within the spinal canal. They usually try steroid injections as a first measure to see if they working out for a patient to avoid surgery. I failed my three, three weeks apart, before my first surgery. Hope that helps and I wish you all the best!!
