After my whole vasospasm thing I was in for a session and overheard a nurse telling a patient that what I had as a reaction was a possibility (she even pointed me out as someone that had actually happened to). This is progress. I wish I had been told the same thing when I had my first session. But if through their experience with me they’ve updated their procedures to include discussing it, that’s great. I’ve found that doctor’s are reluctant to tell patients what all the side effects or reactions may be for fear they will somehow manifest them psychosomatically or get overly anxious about it. This to me is treating adults like children. Of course if they are treating another doctor, they’ll talk about all of it. So I was happy to see the change.
