1310633 tn?1430224091 The judge was asked to consider whether the doctors should be allowed to write prescriptions for a terminally ill cancer patient who wanted to use drugs to end her life.

He will be very grateful and feel peace knowing you are all there for him, but cancer is a "monster" desease and he's going through a lot. I'm sure the doctors will do everything in their power to keep him comfortable and pain free. I would contact a priest and request a mass intention for his health.
Avatar n tn The only thing I came up with at the time was that I wanted someone to take care of me. I was extremely stressed and I just wanted a brake and have someone do for me for a change. At the time I was also watching Soaps and I saw the care and adoration they received and wished it for myself. So even though I knew the stories where fake, I had to stop watching because they where influencing the way I thought.
Avatar f tn Sigh. I used to like him. I cannot ever get past him cheating on his terminally ill wife though. Just can't. Elizabeth Edwards was so inspirational in how she handled her illness..so strong. He hurt her so desperately. Yeah, people make mistakes, heck we are all human...but the women was terminally ill. I don't know...he is creepy to me now.

366811 tn?1217422672 My computer crashed earlier today -right in the middle of a magnificent item I was working on, so I've been away to have repairs made. Bad video card, now replaced and all seems well. Sometime tomorrow and through Tuesday I'll be away visiting a very ill (terminally) family member, so don't think my absence is any lack of interest; just lack of availability.

Please do what you can to help fulfill this young girl's dream . I thought you might enjoy reading this just before your Christmas SLOW DANCE Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round?

Avatar m tn Growing old has its difficulties. But an old or terminally-ill dog can still have quality of life. But it's a very fine balance, and it means being very watchful of her general condition and emotional well-being. The stuation is very inconvenient, and the 'accidents' may cause her distress, as no animal likes to have an unclean rear end or to lay in poop or pee.

Avatar m tn I have become physically dependent on MS Contin which is the same type of med as oxycontin only Morphine is the narcotic instead of oxcycondone. I was prescribed this as a pain control medication for 2 years at which time they diagnosed my condition which required surgery. After surgery I now feel I don't need this strong pain med any longer and my other pain can be handled by a weaker pain med like percocet.
Avatar n tn I read your other post and I was gonna respond to that when I saw this one. Hospice and doctors are concerned in providing comfort for the terminally ill patient. I've actually worked with Hospice ppl and they are very nice caring ppl. There aren't any specific guidelines that I know about, however here is some information that you can check out. Also if you google anything, you will get alot of hits, not all the time but most of the time.

5135507 tn?1367163227 Fentanyl is a good drug to treat pain for terminally ill patients , or ppl who need 24 hour pain relief. But drs are passing this drug out to patients who don't need it or they keep increasing the dosage until its almost impossible to get off of it when the time comes. I know, it happened to me. Then wnen the dr was fired after I was on it for 5 yrs, I was basically screwed.

Avatar f tn He checked my ears and throat and my nose and said everything looked fine. I have been in and out of hospitals with my mom she is terminally ill with stage four lung cancer and has mrsa in her lungs as well as pnuemonia.. so maybe I caught a bug from someone there. I'm sure if I had an outbreak in my mouth doc wouldn't have said everything looked good ...
Avatar n tn Over the last several months my husband has had a huge fear of being infected with HIV, Hepatitis C, or simply somekind of cancer. The only incident he had was to kiss a girl at a bar 8 months ago, he didn't have oral or vaginal sex. All of these months have been a nightmare for him and me because I have to deal with his fears. He has taken 20 HIV tests, 3 Hepatitis C tests, all of the other STD tests. He has seen 10 diferent doctors, and has been reassured that he is not infected.

Avatar n tn It has been 23 days since my curiosity led me to make a stupid mistake outside my marriage. My wife has been unavailable for sex for several weeks because of her caring for a terminally ill relative, and my sex drive simply got out of control. Now my guilt and concern for my wife's safety is paramount. I received unprotected oral sex and gave unprotected oral sex. The guy had some pre-*** present at first, but that seemed to disappear before I gave him about a minute of oral sex.

Avatar f tn Honey if they are giving you chemotherapy then they are poisoning you. However, the crack isn't doing you any favors either. If you are terminally ill and there isn't hope of recovery, just make yourself comfortable. Honestly, if I were dying, I would just take whatever in the he!! makes me happy so that people don't remember me as a bitchy mess. I am so sorry you have to go through this. I really hope you have a support system at home.

I have sever nerve damage in right leg and rsd in foot and ankle on same leg. I have terrible radiculopathy also. My pain doc thinks I need to.come off oxy and switch to Suboxone for pain relief. I've tried titration down at home but I've had severe diarrhea, vomiting and panic type attacks.
1052851 tn?1307741160 My doctor has me on Fiorinal C1/2 for migraines, and put me on Morphine for severe migraines and severe pain. I have often had to go to the hospital for the migraines, and they give me a shot of what I thought was Morphine in the butt, and after about 1/2 hr it was gone. This last experience, the Morphine did not work, and I ended up taking a bunch of Fiorinal instead. When I spoke to my local hospital, they said they dont give Morphine for migraines but Demerol?
1256810 tn?1269713946 Hello Guys, many thanks for this supportive thread, I was seeking for a solution since I just quit morphine that was given me by my doctor for psoriatic arthritis but right after I took, it works amazed and I went back to normal activities. Tolerance set in. I began to get side effect real bad included stomach cramps, and clammy sweat, I thought that I was getting older to have some kind of flush. I have been taking Morphine for 3 years started with 20 mg a day up to 480mg a day split 4 ways.
