Re: Opium suppositories for SOD?

[Guest guest]

Laurie,

Forgive me if I already posted something to this effect, but I too have

SOD. And CP. And when in the hospital all I ever have is a morphone

drip because demerol does nothing for the pain. I have not had 1 bad

episode with using morphine in regards to my SOD. I would highly

reccommend it.

As a matter of fact, I had 1 nurse tell me that the CP patients she

deals with would rather have the morphine over demerol because demerol

doesn't do the job. I know in some people it can be different.

Hope that helps.

hey all !

When I went to see Dr. lehman in Indy for my SOD, he gave me opium suppositories

( belladonna ). he told me that they are very addicting and that he would only

give me 2 for an emergency to keep me out of the ER. We live out in the country

and during the winter it can be a real bear to drive to the hospital during a

winter storm. So he told me to use them sparingly. That was one year ago and I

still have htem in the fridge. Knock on wood but the pain never got that severe.

But if it did, I would not hestitate to use them. I trust his opinion and I

think if it was not safe for me to try on an occassional basis then he would not

of given them to me. Just my 2 cents,

Lily,

I also was given Belladonna (in pill form) for spasms, but for my

pancreas not specifically for my SOD. My pancreas went through such a

time that it fluttered alot. It never hurt. Almost felt like I was

pregnant again and my baby was moving inside me. Don't get me wrong,

this was happening alot for a period of time. Morning, day and night

and it got to be heck of annoying especially when it would wake me from

sleeping. Even to the point where other people could see my shirt move

just a bit when it spasmed. But I didn't take the belladonna long and

the flutters (spasms) stopped. In fact, I still have 1/2 a perscription

in the cupboard. I found that they always made me so sleepy when I took

them that I didn't like to take them much.
