Re: Demerol not good for pain???
      10/09/03 02:58 PM

This is something I said on another thread because by the time a migraine takes me to the ER, I have no idea what the treatment will be. But the next time I know it will not be Demerol!

I had to have shots of Demerol 3 times in my life, over varying years of age, fitness, and overall intake of food, whatever.

Well, I always hated it! I felt like I was floating above my head, nauseated and cotton mouthed, and my tongue just felt fat. Because I looked so out of it, they would tell me I was feeling better, and I COULDN'T TALK! I wanted to say hey, now I'm in pain and dizzy! I know you are trying to help me, but, ummm, is this good?

WELL

It turns out that I have a really dangerous allergy to Demerol, and the last time I could have died. Now that would have terrible for the staff that was just trying to help, and in all the constant reading of all the articles about CP and/or depression, I read that ERs are slowly but surely turning away from Demerol.
