Re: Oxy holiday, withdrawal and pain control-- K

[Guest guest]

are you taking anything for nausea and vomiting? Many of us

have taken reglan and zofran as well as phenergan to alleviate the

nausea. WE have talked on here many times about the effects of

taking a lot tylenol daily for a long period of time as it is not so

good for ones liver. Vicodan and Tylenol with codeine can both have

anywhere from 325 mgs per tab to 660 mgs per tab of tylenol and that

may be a bit much depending on exactly how many you are currently

taking each day. You may want to discuss this with your doctor to be

ssure that he understands that you are taking that much and how

tylenol could affect your liver. Expecially since you have said tht

your liver panel has been elevated.

I hope you are feeling better. when do you see the surgeon to

discuss the lap chole? I know that a lot of people on here have told

you some really scarey stories. However, I know of alot of people

who have had theirs removed with a laparoscope and are doing just

fine. My brother inlaw had an acute attack of pancreatitis from his

gallbladder, had it removed and he is doing fine and its been about 4

years. Several of my girlfriends have had theirs removed and are

also doing fine, not to mention the 100's of patients that I have had

who had theirs removed without complications. There is always the

risk tho of having a panreatic problem following it but the majority

of people do not. It did worsen my condition but as it turned out my

pancreas had already been damaged from a lifetime of attacks that

went undiagnosed.

Warmly,
