Well, morphine is history. It made me sick, and spacy, and didn't
help the pain (it did radically reduce my spasticity, though). So,
now I'll be trying large doses of demerol (300 mg plus a day).
I'll keep y'all posted. *adh*

I will be speaking to the doctor tomorrow about upping the dosage, and taking
100 mg at a time, rather than 50. We'll see what happens. If it doesn't work,
dilaudid is stronger than demerol, so maybe that's next. *adh*

Careful with the demerol, Alan. Too much of it makes me quit
breathing. Of course, it also makes me warm, comfortable and
non-functional at lower doses.

I'm still breathing, functional, and painful. Looks like demerol will wind up
on the garbage heap with all my other past pain medications. :-( *adh*

I broke my elbow about 13 years ago. When I arrived at
the ER they shot me up with Demerol and I promptly passed out and
didn't wake up for three hours. Then they set my elbow. They
couldn't do it while I was out, had to make sure I was awake and
feeling.
