For Pain "I was given this for pain associated with Crohn's disease and for a migraine during a hospital stay. It works great for pain, lasting longer than Dilaudid. The only downside is both times it made me throw up even though I was given anti-nausea medication 30 minutes beforehand."

For Pain "I was driving to the airport this morning when intense pain creeped up on my blank stomach area. It kept getting worse to the point I had to pull over, the next thing I knew, I was in a fetal position next to a phone booth. Somehow, I was able to gather strength and drive a couple blocks to the nearest hospital. I checked in, trying to remain calm, but I remember having to go to the bathroom, and then there I collapsed at once again in a fetal position because of indescribable pain. They finally called my name, and I sat in the back room waiting and waiting, moaning and moaning, the people at my cot were pleading with doctors to help me. I think the doctors thought I was faking for drugs. I remember throwing up, the pain was so intense. It felt like I was in another realm, the pain was so relentless. I had never made sounds like that before. After what I thought was an eternity, a doctor’s assistant shot me 75 mg of Demerol. The bliss was unbelievable, I'll never forget how it took the pain away miraculously, I thought."

For Pain "This medicine was given to me at the hospital after my car accident. It worked great, except it made me nauseated, and I vomited after a large dose. Works really well."
