Oxcycodine is the medication I take for pain. It helps me sleep, so I don't notice the pain when I'm sleep. However, I'm not able to really have an enjoyable life, because I have to choose to either take the meds and stay home or go out in pain, which is not much fun at all ....so what's the point

Demerol was the best pain med for me when I had CP

i have 12 50mg pills. these are heaven to me.

I was hospitalised with acute pancreatitis just about a month ago. I had horrendous pain, vomiting, weakness, disoreientation, emotional meltdown and ached all over. I was grossly swollen, too. I was on NBM for 4 days and then released. My numbers on bloodwork were all normal 2 weeks later.
