Avatar f tn She went in on monday with suspected appendicitis after blood tests, a scan and an mri scan urgent surgery was ordered. She is two days later still on an epidural drip and also a morphine drip. Can anybody tell me any further information or the implications on her fertility, will a cyst of this sort return? Her mum, my sister, and dad are all beside ourselves with worry and since the operation information seems scarce.

Avatar f tn We took him to the hospital and they gave him morphine and the hallucinations were back. I swore that the morphine was making him hallucinate but the doctors said it was dementia. We took him home and hospice kept upping the dose of the morphine. Finally he got so bad we couldn't take care of him at home. He went to the hospital and finally a nursing facility for 11 days. He died there after his body shutdown. He wouldn't eat or drink anything.

Avatar f tn Imaging modalities such as CTscan or MRI will help rule out pathology or secondary headaches. Morphine is usually excreted into human milk in trace amounts and adverse effects in the nursing infant are unlikely. Morphine is considered compatible with breast-feeding by the American Academy of Pediatrics. (ref: http://www.drugs.com/pregnancy/morphine.html#ixzz0vbMEgeUz). Aside from medications, another option is complementary and alternative medicine including biofeedback techniques.

Avatar m tn It is Christmas and dad is weaker at tendercare nursing home, His blood sodium and chloride are elevated, Dad sleeps a lot and is dehydrated, I will ask nurse to give him half cup of water every two hours seems nursing home neglects you once you no longer are alert, he also pockets food in his mouth. Very sad what is happening. Not sure who to blame.

1051214 tn?1255828242 I was on morphine and vomiting.....they said it was the anesthiesa....I have had several surgeries recently and never had this kind of reaction....the new item was the morphine...she was determined to get it fixed and she did....she even readjusted the schedule for all my meds which helped me feel so much better.
997898 tn?1303734864 She said she had a pretty sleepness night though - I think they have stopped her liquid pain (morphine?) meds so at least she is coming out of her medication haze. She is up and walking (read that 'shuffling') around a bit, and they had her sitting in the chair. If things continue to progress she will be out of the hospital on Friday or Saturday. She had a lot of wonderful things to say about the facility and the nursing staff - they must be taking good care of her!

Avatar n tn my dad is in the final stage of copd he is in great pain he is in the hospital with oral morphine they want to send him to my home with the morphine but he needs it on demand.
Avatar m tn It has been 6 weeks since his surgery and he has had trouble with diarrhea and has been given a low dose of morphine to bind up his stool some. Started with pill form and now switched to liquid. Since the liquid started he has been having severe pain on the inside of his rectum, which he describes as a severe burning sensation which comes and goes. Is this normal or could he have an infection?
Avatar f tn Epidural carries more risk to mama than baby. But demerol and morphine don't typically harm the baby, just give some initial problems sometimes.
Avatar f tn The ER doctor was going to give me muscle relaxers,steroids and pain pills.They gave me a shot of morphine in my upper arm. It was horrible !!!! I started to feel kinda weird and then I was getting severe pains that seemed like under my rib cage. My heart rate went way up.They took an EKG and kept the moniter on me. My pain was getting worse so they gave me nitroglycerin. I was still in pain. They gave me 2 more doses of nitroglycerin.This lasted for about 2 hours.
Avatar f tn Hello Again Pam, I recall your post asking about the Avinza a bit ago and the following was my response: "This came from a trusted Medication website regarding avinza: "When used for an extended period this medication may not work as well and may require different dosing." You most certainly can build a tolerance to Avinza, or most any drug. Tell the NP to use her Taber's Manual to verify the information she is giving your daughter. Actual RLS is not caused from withdrawal.
Avatar f tn With my 1st born I got an epidural and I was looking into different pain relief options for this pregnancy. Any of you got morphine instead of an epidural and how was your experience?
Avatar n tn Hi yes it is normal behavior for Morphine, when you first start it your on top of the world then comes irritation and depression and even nightmares for some. How much is he on? How long? and dose he want to quit?
525732 tn?1213046071 Well, first of all i know what i would tell your husband. Who cares what he wants or doesn't like. Look at the mess you are in. Sounds like you need to go and speak with a doctor and explain that you want to get off the morphine. Don't forget to tell him about this husband also who is obviously causing you alot of anxiety.
Avatar m tn I pretty much thought it had something to do with the morphine. Any advice? He needs it for his back. My view is morphine is probably better than any other of the narcotic analgesics because it is the most natural and has been around for centuries. I certainly would not want him on oxycontin or fentanyl. Is Opana ER any better? Need advice from doctor preferably or someone who has an idea what they are talking about regarding this matter.
