Kadian and zofran - W

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks for asking: I tried the Zofran friday night just to see if it

would knock me out. I didn't want to take it during work and end

up snoozing on the bench top. I am happy to say that it didn't

make me sleepy at all. I haven't had to use it yet for the nausea

issues. Which is good. Did you know that they are $22.50 a pill -

yikes!

The morphine is working wonderfully - I am so happy that I am

taking these. It is the first time in years where I can actually forget

that I am sick! I actually go for hours now without thinking about

how much I hurt. In fact, I was even thinking today that I am

cured, until the pill wore off that is....But still, it is the first time in

almost forever that I feel like I am a real person again. The only

bad thing is that I have a horrible itchy red rash that itches like

heck and burns like a sunburn. So I am hoping that this will go

away as my body gets used to the meds as it is quite awful to

look at and uncomfortable. So overall, I have been able to cut

down slightly on the oxycodone, but even doing so, I am able to

get the pain levels down to 1s and even 0s. Better even than

when I had the one stent in that was working! So I am happy for

now, all things considered.

And I am so encouraged by your report that you have stayed pain

free from these second stents for over a week now! That is a

miracle as far as I am concerned. Your doctor must be a genius

(as well as his patient). I hope it continues to go well! (Do you

know what size he has in you? The diameter and length? Mine

only went up to a 7 French, 4cm long, and I am wondering if that

is why I didn't have lasting relief....if a bigger, longer stent may be

more successful in the future).
