Remedies For Side Effects Associated W/ Pain Meds (The Itch!)...

The itching never really bothers me during but after a few days in a row I end up with a red nose and forehead from unconsciously scratching. My DR gives me a script for nausea meds (Ondansteron) that dissolve on the tongue for my puking from migraines. She never questions how many I use and sometimes I use them for that nausea. That ends up compounding the constipation problem though. For that I just use Otc stool softeners. I usually do one week on-three weeks off for recreational pea kay use. By the second or third off day I usually go back to normal.

Benedryl and prunes. That was my go to for tram sides.....nothing helped with nausea. Even scrips. Glad i amm off of that crap.

I have discovered the miracle cure for the inevitable backup caused by pea kays. Apples! Extremely excessive apple eating. *nod nod*

Took the kids apple picking and they were having so much fun that I just let them go to town and ended up with 50lbs of apples. Then got home and stared at my giant pile of apples in consternation. I made apple pies, apple strudel, apple doughnuts, & apple dumplings for dessert each night and every single time they wanted a snack I did apple slices with peanut butter.

I think as a household we went through a dozen packs of tp in the last two weeks. Even with heavy opie use there was noooo constipation.

Now, though, when I ask the kids what they want to eat I get a chorused groan of "Not apples! "

I can cope with the itching while I'm awake...

It's more the 'sleep itching'...

Sometimes, I wake up looking like I have been 'spooning' barbed wire!!

Then throughout the morning, vaguely recollecting various scratching episodes during the night!

My ex used to become very suspicious of all the scratches to my face, neck and back?... I've lost count of the number of times she accused me of having an affair!

Although, I suppose she was right, I was having a few...

Some lovely girls called:

Tramad@l, m@rphine, c@deine & hydr@codone...

Nice apple story Pix : )

I'd go lesbian for those particular girls. Well.....okay, maybe not. Except that last one I don't much care for your first three. M0rph1ne makes me psychotic. No idea why when I'm on such friendly terms with the other things in that class of meds.
