My own use of use of opi’s
I was Given this pain relief after I had a
Carotid artery dissection —
which begins as a tear in one of the main carotid arteries of the neck, which allows blood under arterial pressure to enter the wall of the artery and split its layers. The result is either an intramural hematoma or an aneurysmal dilatation, either of which can be a source of microemboli, with the latter also causing a mass effect on surrounding structures.
aka the worst head pain in your life - almost died from it —
i knew the history of this drug and was skeptical of it - I took it for 5 days and saw myself watching the clock till my next dose - it was scary - after 5 days I stopped and took 4 Advil’s every 4 hours that also did the trick . Just let’s say that drug leads you to Another place and it wasn't nice .
my doc asked how is the pain - do you need a refill ? I’m like no I’m taking Advil .
