Hi Palace,
My CT scan and mask fitting took about 20 mins. I waited for an hour or so after fitting until docs decided if I need another MRI or the one done 2 months prior was enough which it was. I could eat right after that.
Palace, my AN was 2/1.8/1.6 cm. I am generally healthy (except for AN and trigeminal issues caused by it), no allergies, no chronic problems etc. And yes, I did have steroids -Decadron - one after each CK session (don't know exact dosage). No side effects from it, actually slept better than ever. For me - I felt good after each session until later in the day. Fatigue and headache set in after my return trip to Chicago and lasted for 4-5 days. Both managed without or with OTC painkillers. Today i.e. 18 days post CK minimal fatigue (evening) no headaches, trigeminal symptoms lesser than before treatment.
Good luck to you, we'll keep our fingers crossed and keep you in our prayers,
