Maria,

to add to Rhonda's post I use the numbing cream, as I hate needles and a very bib baby about somethings!....why suffer if you dont have to. The cream is prescription....Lidocaine and Prilocaine,2.5%/2.5% Make sure you put it on at least an 2 hours prior to treatment. I do not feel the needle going in or coming out. The treatment nurse accessses the port and will flush it prior and after treatment...all you see is what looks like a dime under your skin.

Take care,
Maryanne
