I had to have a colonoscopy done, and I argued until I was blue in the face that I didn't want to be sedated...I finally won the battle and got my way. I was awake for the entire procedure and except for about 2-3 seconds of very mild cramping, the whole thing was virtually painless.
My dentist always tries to either make me take novocaine or gas for dental work...and I always refuse, having your teeth drilled on, while isn't pleasant, isn't painful either.
When I went into labor with both of my kids, here comes the nurse with an epidural needle telling me to roll over on my side. They didn't even ASK me if I wanted drugs or not. I told her I don't want an epidural, I don't want drugs, and I especially don't want my baby to be born drugged....they almost tried to MAKE me take it. I screamed for my husband, he told the nurse to get away from me or he'd call security for harassment.
Why do people DO this? Some people DO have a high pain tolerance and don't need to be drugged.
