Is tolerance considered in pain management?

[Speed King]

I watched a health show on the effects of cannabis on tumors. It said that the weed made the tumor turn on itself and die. So smoke up, btw, it is 3:35am my time.
I am looking forward to the Opana ER.
That stuff is way better then morphine.
The morphine is actually working okay, but it's still too low. The Lord takes care of me. I'll get exactly what I need. I trust him.

The only doctors I know that never considered my tolerance were shitty, medicare only doctors. Once I started spending good money on specialists, they would play the game...

Then you live on the same side of the hemisphere that I do. I'm just always a "night owl".

I do WISH I could tolerate cannabis but as I wrote you personally (at least for the type I smoked?), it and I didn't mix well and I was told that if I ever smoked it again? That I need to do it alone because I was the most irritating person in the world. Talking too much (go figure) and becoming paranoid. On that note though, I know there are many different types so maybe I just got my hands on the wrong one!!!

As for morphine? The pills didn't help me much at all but when I've been given it (or dilaudid) intravenously while hospitalized it had (of course) a much different effect.

I have heard of Opana and I have heard that it's stronger but have never had it so I can't say. I do know that oxycodone/OxyContin (same thing, I know yet quite honestly I'd rather OxyContin since its ER) is one of the strongest pain relievers. I may be way off but is Opana a bit of a newer opiate? I'm asking solely because I had actually not even heard of it until around a year or so ago. Around my area oxy's are the "kingpin" yet I would NEVER pay for them. I don't think we can say prices but I'll word it this way. I get 10's and I could definitely find a shirt for $10. Haha. I hope this comment is allowable and that I don't get kicked off this site due to it

It's allowable in my book. I like learning about t shirtsvfrom different places. I have not bought a tee shirt in a while, so I do not know how much they go for around here. Lol. Anyway, Opana is Oxymorphone. It, I believe is much stronger then morphine. All I know is it's the best pain reliever for me. Opana is at least twice as strong as Percocet or OxyContin.

Hahahaha!!! Well, I'm sure glad you needed to know the going price for a decent t-shirt in a different area!!! I mean, in "my book", it's a MUST KNOW in case you plan to do a bit of traveling. Most of mine are pink though.....oh wow, how that's SO true yet truly making me laugh because it's true in 2 ways. My clothing and my uhhhhhh.......hmmmmm......socks? Yeah, I'm sure it's ok to give the going price for a pair of socks as well. Seeing as how you're a guy though you may not like pink much. Lol!

Onto meds though (since I OBVIOUSLY was NOT speaking of them above, is Opana a form of dilaudid? I could swear that when I was hospitalized once that I received oxymorphone but on my discharge papers it said I.V. Dilaudid. Meaning just how Percocet is oxycodone but with Tylenol. I'm asking because it was definitely much stronger then the oxycodone I take and I also received a script for 10, 2 mg tablets for break through pain and a mere 2 mgs seemed to take my pain away much better then a 10 mg oxycodone ever did.

Also, I can't private message you (or anyone for that matter)....it's not even an option on my phone. The only way I've been able to do so is if I receive a message 1st and then I can reply to it but last night I pressed something wrong and deleted all messages by accident while only getting midway through a response you wrote to me about something I mentioned to you. Anyway, I made a thread today and when you have time I'd really appreciate it if you'd check it out and give me your input (either there or via a private message). I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and could really use some thoughts (and advise) on the subject.

Munch, thanks for the information. I will use it at the right time.

I don't want to do this privately but rather publically. I apologize gratuitously to you. I feel like THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE IN THE WORLD today after reading what you wrote. I made a wrong (FULLY wrong) judgement of you that was completely opposite of what I had initially thought. I am going to be honest. I used this thread and this thread only and for some reason thought you were a much older person who never used any other drug and only took the medications listed here as prescribed and nothing else. Still though...NO RIGHT or reason for what I said. I had actually thought after I THOUGHT more (and used my damn brain) that I had immediately went back onto that thread and deleted what I said. When I woke today I obviously noticed that it did NOT delete and then I made sure it did.


I can't possibly begin to even apologize enough. I just got so very confused when I began seeing other threads and posts and nothing was connecting to me and it made me think you were being hypocritical when in all actuality it was I MYSELF who then became a hypocrite. A personality characteristic that I cannot stand yet I became one. I'm sickened by own self at this moment since this site is all about being helpful. NOT JUDGMENTAL. Yet I took two threads and got so thrown off track that I formed an opinion that was incorrect. You welcomed me in on this thread as a kindhearted friend and I've seen you also trying to do so with others yet I saw that sadly AFTER I saw the posts that were confusing me. Trust me, no more "peeps" out of me to you
