Kelly, first of all it's so good to see you back.

I can't believe the way you have been treated. I definitely think it's time to look for a new doctor. I do a lot of ER reports and ER clinic I type for usually gives Dilaudid with Phenergan, the Dilaudid for the pain and the Phenergan to offset any nausea from the Dilaudid. When they send people home they will often give some oral pain (usually Norco or Vicodin) medicine AND Phenergan (either tablets or suppositories). Have any of your doctors ever tried one of the pain patches that is absorbed through your skin? That would help if you couldn't swallow pills and from what I've read tends to cause less stomach upset too. But I am not sure of the efficacy. I do know that IV and injections seem to give people the best relief.

I'm just apalled at the treatment you and your roommate received at the hospital. There is NO excuse for that, NONE!

Kelly, you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I think doing a little new doctor "shopping" is definitely in order. Gentle {{hugs}} to you.
