In the past few years, I have begun having a histamine reaction to
Morphine and Dilaudid, which knocks out Demerol by association. When I received it by IV in the hospital, I broke out in a rash on my chest, felt like I couldn't breathe - like a weight was on my chest (even though my pulse ox was 100%), couldn't entirely move my arms and legs, and couldn't talk.
So, there go the narcotics. Ummm, in two days they are gonna cut my head open, HELP?!
