Can't have epinephrine in the dentist's office...       11/27/09 09:32 AM Edit Reply Quote Windchimes Reged: 09/05/09 Posts: 581 Loc: Northern California Syl, My dentist cannot even inject me with epinephrine when working on my teeth. I immediately get heart palpitations and start to shake! Feeling that way (out of physical control) makes things even worse. He now uses an alternative pain killer that does not produce the same response in me. I definitely have a well-documented response to epinephrine that is physiological in nature, though might well be related to the psychological 'flight or fight' response that I had as a child when I would run to my bedroom and lock the door when my father was throwing one of his tantrums. I feared he might break the door down and physically abuse me, just as he did my mother. I just don't handle adrenaline well at all today, whether it is injected or produced by my own bodily as a response to stress. Such immediately hits me right in the 'gut'. Adrenaline is adrenaline and I don't find such favorable to my end symptoms. Thanks for the post. -------------------- Senior female, IBS-D, presently stable thanks to Heather & Staff Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
