Who else can't sleep?

I used tramadol and panadol osteo as endone made me vomit.

I find Panadeine Forte best but always conscious of the fact that it can be addictive (and constipating).

OK then ***gathers up discarded Endone*** :)

Endone is a no go here too - lowers already low blood pressure and causes nausea and fainting plus constipation.Panadeine forte only creates constipation. Gather from my GP a lot of people have trouble with Endone and she switches them to Panadeine Forte - not sure however if the latter is as effective a pain killer.

I sacked endone too. Sick, wobbly, spinning out etc. How are the new codeine prescription rules affecting BC people? Need to get script from doctor I think. Best wishes to all

What's wrong with good old codeine?!  Unfortunately, too much endone makes me throw up!  and I'm not having anybody ever again trying to tell me that my pain is actually anxiety!  Much gnashing of teeth.  Personally, I'd like to be knocked out for the 6 months of chemo and woken up at the end.

Consider my spine stiffened @zoffiel!

Gargh indeed @kmakm

Demand Endone. Say, JUST F#&+ING GIVE IT TO ME!  If you get enough to get you through the pain week, that's all you need. 

You are right, the pain aspect is deeply underplayed. Yes, it only troubles a few people, but this is not a bloody competition. This is one time in your life you must be taken seriously so  if you need to throw a controlled tantrum, do it. Oooh you might get addicted. Let's worry about that if you get through the whole performance without having a complete breakdown. 

I've got red dots inside all my hospital files and I don't care. I'm endlessly polite until I get jerked around and fed a pile of platitudes when I know something is really wrong, then it's notebooks and name taking and report writing. All of a sudden they start taking you seriously, but many don't like it. Too bad. Make a fuss.

Thank you @Romla

@kmakm my medical oncologist recommended Krill Oil for joint pain. It’s stronger than fish oil and you need to take less tablets to get the same effect.
