Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
Tylenol and NSAID's are the ones that really worry me, I think yesterday Honor also asked the same question, about the meds/organs issue, and I found a really, really long article that shows you what meds are worst for what. Go and check out the post that says; Pain Meds/Organs, and then you can read the article.
Take care,
I want to start by saying that I hope that YOU are doing well. I wish at least one day a week, someone from our group could have a pain free day. That would be great. I would patiently wait in line for my turn. Lol
I am on the Fentynal Patch, which is constantly putting medicine in my body, I guess, this is what the doctor said. I am also on Dilaudid 2-3mgs for Breakthrough. I would think that all of that fast acting medicine would not be good. I would say that, that person should be put on on Extended Release medicine and maybe keep something for the breakthrough. That is a lot of Acetometaphin first of all, with all the Hydro and it seems to me that the person is also taking a lot of anti anxiety meds. 10mgs of Diazapam is a lot to me, but I could be wrong. Whatever the case may be, I hope this person decides to talk to they're doctor about coming off of all the fast acting meds, and replace them with a longer acting one, and then something for breakthrough. It would probably work better, but like you said, we are not doctors.
I hope it works out for you and the person close to you.
Love, Hugs, and Always Laughter,

Tipper gave you a great place to look because she placed a long list of interactions of meds to the body on that post. We'd be lost without our Tipper.
Also any med that I take I look it up on the net and see what the long term side effects are. Believe me it is more informative on here than on the sheets that the pharmacies give you.

Hopefully their doctors are running liver and kidney function blood test if not your friend should ask them to.
Also if your friend has other health problems they should check the side effects of these meds.
My lung doctor gave me a list of meds both over the counter and prescription to avoid because they can make my asthma worse.
Minnie, you're warmth was felt.
All the rest of you guys know me, and know how much I love you all.

I hope your friend finds the meds that work best for him or her.
Hugs & Prayers,
