I'm kinda surprised they work for stomach pain at all. Opiates are known to be unkind to the tummy.
Also, the song was CCR in my head today - even if we do an informal cover of it once in a while with the band.
I'm not sure why I thought it was CCR. I know damned well that it isn't. It was probably the wine. Probably... It could also be old age. I'm not sure which is more probable.
I can see conflating the two. They are roughly in the same genre with similar sound but we both have listened enough to hear they are distinct. Hmmm.
I was surprised too to have them help w/ stomach pain. Back in the day they would make me quite nauseas. But now they are my only way of a few hours relief.
Hmm... You know... You've got the Big C...
There's a drug almost as awesome as Fentanyl - but not quite. It's a nasal spray called "Stadol".
It's as rare as hen's teeth, and asking for it by name is not gonna end well... You'll need a strategy...
"Taking oral meds isn't effective due to my stomach discomfort. I was reading about this drug that's similar but it's a nasal spray. Have you heard of it, it's called Stadol (stay-doll) and looks like it might be good for my condition."
Dunno if that'll work. I'd try it!
Well, no... No, I'd be going straight for the Fentanyl and bawling my eyes out for more of it every time I saw a medical professional in any capacity!
I'll keep that in mind. Doc already mentioned round the clock pain relief when I go into hospice. I'm down to just one primary doc and he seems approachable. He said I could double my dosage so I think I'll do that and hope it helps tonight.
