I'm on morphine. (doctor's orders)

I hearby or hereby or hareby renounce everything I have posted today and possibly into tomorrow... if it is shite. If it is brilliant, I meant it.

Thankyou.

I wondered why you had announced that you were selling up in BC and moving to Moncton........

Just off to call my realtor...

You can have my share of that stuff it just makes me throw up.

Trippy...

I'm surprised by how well I'm tolerating it because even just ibuprofen makes me hurl. I've been sipping the prune juice!

The slightest sniff of morphine makes me hurl constantly, gravol makes no difference. Hope there are other drugs should I ever be in dire need of it.

I was discussing with a nurse just the other day what to put on a Medic Alert bracelet. I asked if I was short of space which should I not include and she said the sensitivity to morphine.

The reason she said was they were going to give it to you anyway (even if you said you're "sensitive") if it was deemed necessary in an emergency situation and they or you would deal with the after effects later when they had you stabilized.

Oh, charming Last time I got them to pull the drip and just took the pain like a man instead. It was preferable.

My sentiments. But she did say in an emergency.

When I've gone in for surgery and mentioned the sensitivity they've given me a red wrist band and found something else.

By the way what in hell did you do that requires morphine?

A dislocated/separated/*****ed up shoulder/scapula thingy. Many people probably don't require morphine for this injury... but I don't handle pain very well. No, not at all. Actually, I told them, very sternly, that I will not tolerate any pain. They probably prescribed the morphine just to shut me up.

You still into charts?

Sorry about your shoulder. What it takes to drive people back to BE eh! Good to see you on here.

theres some new evidence about instead of taking the morphine every say four hours in a large dose taking smaller doses more often will still ease the pain and not induce the nausea.

Have a chat with your doc or nurse about it and see if that is an option for you. A lot of the dosing regimes used are based on hosp drug round times and not about the mechanism of the drug. It should be about blood plasma levels of the drugs getting to a useful level and not going up and down like a yo yo.

they talk about a "loading dose" then "maintenance doses" from there its harder in tablet form due to absorbtion being effected by several factors but might be better than feeling like you are going to do a technicolour burp all the time.

And definitely better than taking more tablets just to counter act the effects of the first one IMHO

Like I suggest have a chat with you doc

rest up hope the shoulder feels better soon

Hiya!

Thanks.

That vid must be like porn to Novo.
