pain
"After a radical hysterectomy associated with ovarian cancer, I was in severe pain and no other pain med was helping, so I ended up with hydromorphone.

As a pain med it works very well, but there are very many severe side effects.

The worst one is that it is very addictive and there is no real help . My journey became serious in that I tried to go cold turkey when my doze was down to 16 mg a day, and I became so ill I could barely walk. The doctor ordered me to take a doze, and it took another 2 months to ween off it for a total of 4 moths.

Now I have been off it for 3 weeks and I still have sweat attacks 4 to 6 times in 24 hours. My mind is slowly starting to feel more normal and my body is a little less painful and "heavy"."
