I have been suffering with my fibro pain for many weeks now and the Percocet was no longer working. Today my doctor started me on 1mg of Dilaudid. I was just wondering if anyone else is or has been on this med and can give me some info? Thank You!

I have been on it in the hospital and at home for a while, it works great, but you have to be careful with it. Don't take more than you are prescribed it can get messy. Good luck with it, tho, it will help with the pain!

I have been on this med for a while now and it has helped me with my worst pain which is when i sleep. I take ONE at night with Lunesta and together they allow me to sleep. The combination has worked very well.

I only take this med during the day when I am NOT working and my pain is OUT of control. This is a STRONG medication. Do NOT take more than your prescribed dose. In fact, you should really try to take it only when you are in severe pain so that it does not begin to affect your memory.

My best to you

Damn I hate those "You Might Also Like..." things. This is a thread from November 2007 that decided to pop up. I don't think this member is even in the group any more.

Just another reminder - please please check the date in the message before you respond. We're trying to get this feature taken off. It's relatively new and most people hate it. It keeps bringing up bad stuff from months, and even years ago that no one wants to revisit.

This one is "harmless" but there have been many, many others that were things that even the person who posted wouldn't want to see again.

I am on dilaudid now for about a year. I was going to the hospital every couple of months and this is what they would give me. So my doctor gave me a presciption for dilaudid. I take 8mg twice a day., It is the only thing that helps my severe pain. I am very careful with it because of the addictive side effects. But it is truely the only med that works when my fibro is at it's worse. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me. I am so sorry for your pain. You are not alone though. I will keep you in my prayers. All my love Ma

I just noticed after I sent my reply that you are also here for adoption. I am 30 years old and was given up for adoption when I was a baby. When I was 23 I found my birth mother and father. They were both 17 years old when they had me and felt adoption was my best option. They got back together 13 years later and were married. They had been looking for me ever since. If you want to talk more about this I am here.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
