Did I mention that I've been getting Lidocaine infusions every 4 to 6 weeks for the past year?
The infusions are done as an outpatient. I go in take off the shirt and they put EKG leads on me and start an IV, then drip in 2 to 3 mg per Kg of a dilute solution of Lidocaine- the whole procedure takes about an hour- then I get dressed and leave. The infusions decrease my overall pain so I need less of other meds, have fewer "Bad days", and just feel "Better." The idea came from Dr. Christine Sang at Harvard. Has anyone else tried Lidocaine infusions?? F
