Spent 9 hours in the ER Last night

Well, I spent almost 9 hours in the ER last night. It appears that I am allergic to Dilaudid and now Percocets. I had a bad allergic reaction. Couldn't breathe, rash, I was hyperventilating and it made my arm go numb. It was very scary for me. So it looks like to Opiates for me. I do ok on Vicodins, but they only take the edge off, barely. So I came home with a Fentanyl Pain patch. I don't really like this constant loopy feeling, so I'm switching out o the vicodins. So, it looks like my surgical drug choces got very narrow. All this has made me want to put my last surgery on hold for awhile. This one is tough. The good news is, my outer thighs are smooth. But the trade off is my butt is flat as a pancake. I really didn't have enough fat left either. He took off 3 pounds of skin only. Skin does not weigh much. Ok, just wanted you all to know. Before this the only drug that gave me a problem was morphine. I took percoets last time. So you can develop an allergy out of nowhere or even over time. Jane, who is going back to bed.

Apologize for the hoorible typos. Narcotics and keyboards don't go together!

Hay Jane glad your ok Percocets are good stuff, sorry you had the reaction and doing better, Feel better soon and take care of yourself.

Oh Jane - that's sound like quite an ordeal. I'm so sorry you had to endure that. Having a child with asthma has made me acutely aware of how scary it is to feel like you can't breathe. I'm glad you came through it okay, figured out what the problem was, and has some other pain relieve choices (even though they are not your first choice). I hope everything settles down and you can get back to the business of healing up! Keep us posted! Hugs, Robin

Hi Jane, I'm still pre op so if you want to have some of my fat I'll gladly transfer that to your flat butt! Sound like a really scary time. I hope your aunts are checking on you. Give a holler if I can help. my email is [email protected] hugs, Jennifer

oh Jane, I'm sorry to hear that. I guess you never have to worry about overdoing drugs!! Take care of yourself. love donna

Oh my goodness! To be allergic to percacet is really the pits! I am glad that you are feeling better now though and hope these pain pills/patch work for you. And at least you have results that you can see already and are happy with. Flat butts are way better than the sticky out fat asses we used to have!! Take care love Jackie

Jane, so sorry you are having to go through that. Hope the patch is doing better for you!!! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!!! Anna

What a scarey ordeal. I hope that you are feeling better, but without the "good" pain meds, it has to be hard. I know that Vicodins only take the edge off of the pain for me also. Take care of yourself! Cathy

Hey Jane, So sorry to hear about your latest ordeal. I hope you were able to rest over the weekend, and are feeling better now. Wendy
