... and it's hard to avoid becoming who we do not want to be.

I am lifting both of you and all of us up in prayer

The unintended consequence is that we casually treat it as if it will always be there -- our friends and family members will be there next week, or next month, and we can certainly wait until then to visit or give them a call.
Sorry about your friend, and I hope he completely recovers.
And if you are still feeling ill, your friend's condition should inspire you to seek medical help.

The medication I have been on for over 10 years is "no longer available". The "new" medication isn't cutting it at all.

I feel horrible and wish I'd just go away. That's how awful I feel. ugh.

Damn you tRUMP! Damn you!

Love and prayers for you and your friend. And our entire DU family.

I’m so sorry this is happening. Why is the drug that you need no longer available?

Sending you love and aloha

Are you sure you're now on OXY contin.?

The generic for Kadian is MS contin extended-release Morphine Sulfate ...

As I get older I remind myself to enjoy every day of life as much as I can.

Wishing the best for you & your friend.

It sounds like they really mishandled his situation from the get go, and hopefully now things are on track for a recovery.

I hope and pray you and your dear friend recover to enjoy many more special moments together.

Hugs too!
There is no reason you should be sickened by your meds with no recourse to relief. Pester the everloving daylights out of your doc if you need to but there are things that can be done about it. Anti-emetic drugs taken with the opioids do help considerably. As a med nurse I gave meds like cimetidine or compazine with pain meds to prevent the nausea and abdominal issues that pain meds so often cause.
If medical marijuana is legal where you live you might want to look into it as well.
