He/ she/ they is called Co-Codimol and following yesterday’s fun and games in hospital it has 75% improved my pain situation.
Hopefully things aren’t being masked by the high doses of morphine i was on all day but i had a great nights sleep, well 5 hours but the longest so far since op.
Glad you’re getting pain relief Mrb and sleeping a bit better. Onwards and upwards.
Thinking of you. Xx
I’m glad you’re getting relief from co-codomol, and managed a better sleep. I think serous pain is the biggest hindrance to recovery. Onward and upward.
Sleep makes such a difference! Glad co-codomal doing its job. Eat plenty of prunes!!!
That’s progress Mrb. Long may it continue.
Only just read your previous post. So pleased you've got some help with the pain. Wish you all the very best and keep us posted. (BTW you are a VERY brave man) take care xxx
Hi MrB. I am so pleased to hear that they finally gave you some pain relief! A good night's sleep makes all the difference. Lets hope this healing and pain relief continues. Best wishes JJ_7
Thats good news, we don't like to think you're suffering when something is available to help. ........eat plenty of good fibre though 😳, figs, oranges, satsumas, prunes & plenty of veg!
This is better news Mr B. They at last seem to have recognised the importance of the person they have under their care. 😉
So delighted to read this.Thinking of you and your family and wishing you a steady trouble free recovery x
5 hrs is brilliant after what your body has been through. Cracking darts
Good news you are having some pain relief now,and you have been through an extremely serious operation
I’m glad you’re now getting good pain relief. Co-codomal as been my best friend for years.
Glad your friend Co-Codamol is helping you as much as it helps me.
Because it contains codeine it can bung you up, so keep eating high fibre foods like wholemeal bread, fruit and veg, porridge, oats and oat bran, brown rice, wholemeal pasta, etc. If your digestion struggles to process these, consider taking a laxative like Fybogel or Senokot (other types are available: discuss with your doctor).
So glad to hear there has been an improvement. My husband swears by Co-codamol. As well as the fruit and vegetables, Sennacot is very good too. Fingers crossed that this is the beginning of better times. ✌✌✌ xxx
That's good new, onwards and upwards x🙂
Good news to hear that something is working to help with the pain and you are managing to get some sleep Mr B, thinking of you x
That's good! 👍🤞Huge relief I would imagine. Don't want to be a downer but constipation is a side effect.. Useful to get some stuff off the Dr to be prepared.
Glad to hear you are getting relief from your pain but beware that co-codimol has a horrible side effect in that it can give you the most awful constipation, avoid taking for long periods
good news. Finding the best. i.e. the one that suits you, is not always a straighforward task. Keep up with the progress.
so pleased you have some effective pain relief. As others have said balance it with plenty of fibre.
👍 co codamol is my go to drug if in pain. I sometimes use it when I haven’t slept well for a while. I have different strengths. I hope you are in the strongest dose which I think is 50mg. Glad things are a bit easier for you. 🤗🤗
Get well soon!
Good to hear you're getting some pain relief and a good night's sleep. So very important to aid in healing.
That's good news. Sleep helps you heal, or so I am led to believe.🛌 Make the most of it.
Best wishes. Xx Moy
A mate of mine aged 95 had his funeral yesterday. Denis used to play at the station twice a week, entertaining crowds with oldie tunes like Smile and Unforgettable. So I'm sharing the flowers with you cos I paid for them ha ha.
Aww that was so kind of you. Rose x.
And no, I don't think you are on the way out! But I hope there are flowers in the house.🌿🌻🌼🌷🌺🌼🌷☘️🍀🌻🌼🌺🌹
my uncle in his last days used to put coins on his eyes before sleep to save them time the next morning if he didn’t make it..
😜😜😜
When I was a boy I used to collect old pennies, going through the reigns of Queen Victoria, Edward 7th, George 5th and 6th. You are welcome to a pair. I can meet you at the central piano at St. Pancras station AND play you a tune! I rather fancy Edward 7th.🤣🤣
Nothing would please me more and once I am released and safe to go out I will be there…
Thanks..
Ps Mrs B has an antique/ vintage shop and there is a very nice coin dealer there with some interesting ones.
That's a deal Mr B. I shall get my collection out.
yes please
Effective pain relief etc including sleep is so very good, long may it continue. Best wishes, Jean x
Really glad you have pain relief that's working. Sound advice here on high-fibre diet with co-codamol; I also recommend getting cartons of prune juice for a constant supply to help with very unwanted side-effects!
I have a question
