Strix, sorry it's worse than you thought, but glad you got it checked.
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
At home now, still woozy from 1 mg of Dilaudid. Turns out it WAS a kidney stone, but small enough that it would probably pass by itself, so no sonar booming of the stone is necessary.
I DID leave with a script for Percoset, which I've never taken. What's it like? Will it make me woozy and sleep?
I got a shot of 1 mg of Dilaudid, and it's made me ZONKED and I have fuzzy vision, but the pain has gone from a 7 to 2. sI find myself wondering how much ita gets every weekL HOW IS SHE FUNCTIONAL?!
It was very hard to write this post,
So glad you didn't get into a car and ride for eight hours, Strix.
People's reactions to Percoset (hydrocodone + acetaminophen) vary widely. It knocks some people out, but keeps a smaller number awake. It does make some people nauseated. It just makes me feel fine.
Percocet often makes me unable to sleep...except when it does. I know that's totally unhelpful. I think, like Ginger said, that most people get relaxed/loopy/sleepy.
Dilaudid is awesomesauce. I hope you pass that stone quickly!
Percocet does nothing for me, good or bad. Strix, I've enjoyed some of your typos and I hope you are pain free.
Percocet made me puke like the exorcist kid. It was gross. Vicodin was my friend though.
When I was hospitalized a few years ago I was on a pump getting .5 mg of dilaudid every 30 minutes. That brought the pain down to about a 6 or 7.
Percocet makes everything soft and fuzzy for me.
Welp, I collapsed like a dead thing after eating a little something post-ER, and slept for about 10 hours. I have to pee in this toilet-bedpan thing, and (UGH) strain my pee until the stone passes. Before coffee -- THERE'S a recipee for disaster!
Just took my first Percoset. We shall see if it makes me sleepy, nauseated or as crazy as a homicidal clown. I'm voting for pain-free and drowsy.
ETA: I just went back and re-read my posts! My typos WERE crazy!! It took me seriously 15 minutes each to write the on-Dilaudid posts!
