About Me

Well, now my doctor says that since it is the tylenol # 3 that is making me throw up, and the dilaudid, over long term will become addictive despite what a different doctor stated, so now i am trying Zytramel...this is a slow release drug to help me manage through re-training.

I have tried to get my doctor to use the morphine patches, but he does not want to, since it can be addictive....if anyone has any comments on this, please let me know...thanks sue
