Re: Co codamol
As Artangel said above - "We are all different!"
My wife suffers from several different medical conditions including osteo-arthritis, heart problems, neurological issues due to damaged vertebrae, cataracts and recently had a 'minor' stroke (minor but dangerous as it involved a midline shift of her brain). As a result she takes a huge selection of 30+ different tablets each day. Amongst these are 80mg of OxyContin (Oxycodone) per day for the arthritis and neurological pain plus up to 8 30/500 cocodamol tablets per day for breakthrough pain. Luckily she hasn't experienced too much in the way of side-effects from any of her medications. Recently, our GP surgery messed up her prescription and she had to go three days without her medication. There were no withdrawal symptoms, just three days of agony.
