Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Kaye, I'm not a nurse but I have dilaudid all the time when I'm in hospital as it is the only pain medicine that controls my pain. I don't get a crushing type of feeling when I have it, but even when diluted, it feels like someone has just whomped me in the back of the head/neck area with a two by four every time it is given to me..and sometimes leaves me with a huge headache..I just put up with it because Demerol doesn't help me much, neither does morphine and I am always violently sick with, Statol (SP?) just makes me hallucinate for a while then the pain returns after 1/2 hour..the whomp from Dilaudid lasts about 10 minutes, the headache for about 1/2 hour, then I go gaga.
