Guest guest Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Karyn (or ANYONE!) I saw you mention in that list of questions, something about pain meds containing opiouds (did I spell that anywhere close to right?) being NOT preferrable. Also - you mentioned Tylenol and Aspirin specifically as not good for pancreatic pain. WHY? I don't give Cameron aspirin, but mostly because of him being so young. However, sometimes when I don't want to continue his darvocet, I give him extra strength Tylenol. This always makes him sleepy, and the drs all say it has nothing to do with making him drowsy. I keep my opinions to myself because I KNOW he doesnt get sleepy on the darvocet....He can even attend school while taking darvocet. But one Tylenol, and he's asleep for 4-5 hours usually. Does this tell you anything? I know too much of whatever (please don't cringe at my lack of medical knowledge..LOL) is in Tylenol is not supposed to be good for the liver, but when he leaves the hospital they prescribe Tylenol #3 for him since they won't send him home with morphine or demerol. We stumbled on using the darvocet when it was prescribed for me after some dental work. (I am allergic to codeine and many other meds, but this was one I could tolerate quite well.) I am always thankful for the knowledge I have gained thru everyone's posts, but am continually surprised at all the questions I still have! I guess this is derived from having something that " taking a pill " won't just CURE~ Donna Womack (Cameron's Mom) Fort Worth, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
