Opiates reactions
Hey, so I've always done opiates. It's never been too crazy or out of control but this last year I've had to take alot of pain relief due to being diagnosed with endometriosis and some painful complications on my left ovary. Anyway, the oramorph habit I was forming got out of control and as a recovered Ketamine addict I wanted to not keep getting these heavy opiates literally whenever Id request, so had a chat with my doctor about other pain management whilst waiting for my operation. I've been really braving it out lately and steered clear of opiates (even though I love them 😂) but the problem is my current flare up is so unbelievably agonising I need the opiates. I have a large cyst pressing on my left ovary, my pelvis is inflamed and there's loads more I won't bore you with. But, it's meant I was hospitalised and when they got me well enough to send me home with pain management it's oramorph that I need. The problem now is, it's like I have this allergic reaction to it. Even though I'm not taking a higher dose than I should. Ive had this in the past but I thought it would have been because I was abusing it. I never had it for like 6 months, then all of a sudden it's like this allergy formed. Eyes swell and get sore and run, skin itches like mad and I get hives. Sore throat. I'm taking anti histamines, but else can I do here? I need the pain relief but is this just it now? Have I formed some kind of permanent reaction. Is it through previously abusing it? I don't get this reaction when it's given via my vein in hospital. Anyway, thanks for listening in advance and potentially shining some light on the situation!
