Advice needed how to word a request for meds. Story in comments



Recommended Posts

My family got hit with the virus. I am the last one to get it. I have to do the iV today and tommorow

Before I called them I took the left over zofran which didn't work. Then they called me in some promethazine and maybe it helped a little.

On top of this I am experiencing excruciating pain under my ribs and on both sides of the tummy. Even my back hurts.

I had a couple of dosages of pain pills and they seemed to help.

I don't want to appear drug seeking but even it was just 2-3 days of meds she gave me I would be so happy.

I haven't slept in two days. One kid threw up on our bed and comforter like it was her job.

My poor soon his a big pooping machine and we had two blow ups with them.

Sorry so long. Thanks for the advice.

Ask for what you need. I work at a drug rehab. I also go to a pain clinic and am in and out of hospitals due to chronic pain from a spinal injury. I just tell them when I need more. I've never been accused of drug seeking. It's all in our heads in my opinion.

Promethazine also known as phenergan makes most people sleepy. Did it not have that affect on you? I agree with the previous comment, you should ask for what you need for sure. Pain is what you say it is. Maybe you could call your Primary care and get some meds for sleep?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
