I am taking Skelaxin

Might want to tell your doc about that stuff. Have them put it on the "no-no" list for you. Drug induced nightmares are no fun.

Skelaxin is actually a muscle relaxer, not a pain med per se. That being said, I think I may be the cause for the nightmares, Terri. (Sorry kw). I told her to be sure and sleep with a pillow over her ribs because Evil Kitty might just jump on her while she was sleeping. (There are bed monsters too, ya know. Just ask any little kid!). Maybe she having "anticipation" nightmares!

LOL Yea, we do cause nightmares to others at times lol

My MIL was actually the one that told me to stop taking the Vicodin. She's a nurse that works with the AIDS patients...don't know how she does it, except she gets paid very well for it, she's been doing it for about 20 years. She said that at times the docs would change meds on the patients to make them more comfortable, but the meds would cause horrendous nightmares, so they would have to stop those meds. I had talked to my doc about it and he said that yes, nightmares can be a side effect to some meds and then put that on the "no no " list for me.

Gai you dragon, you! LOL But well done for checking up on KW! And as for you K, I hope you get it seen to and sorted tomorrow, will be waiting to hear, you KNOW there's no escape! LOL

Yeah, she can't hide. I have her address and phone number! LOL. And hey, K3n, don't think you would be safe either, if I had yours. Long distance charges be da-- oops, darned! :P

OK my number is 0033 555 ???????? LOL not tellin! I'm scared! A good friend in England was a nurse and she was a real p in the a if you had a pain somewhere 'get it checked out asap, na na na...'. BUT if SHE was sick - NIGHTMARE!!!

Hans and I were watching a programme last night where a British paramedic had to have an op on her knee and INSISTED on a local NOT a general so she could 'supervise' the surgeon! :D

Well, I'm kinda the opposite there. Usually I say it's no big deal, all bleeding stops eventually! :mrgreen: In fact I told my sisters that if they EVER took their kids to an emergency room for Fever, Vomiting, or Diarrhea, that I would personally bitch-slap them into the next county!

When I had a bad car wreck in January, I didn't go to the ER, I just went to my doc (saw a Nurse Practitioner), refused all xrays and just wanted a couple of days of pain meds! LOL

But, when I had knee surgery, and the surgeon and anesthesiologist couldn't agree on whether I should have a nerve block or a pain-ball, I demanded both.

The anesthesiologist came in pre-op while the nurse was starting my IV. He and I had been working together for a while, so we were good buds. Anyhow, when the nurse blew the vein, he grabbed my hand to start the IV himself, and asked the nurse for some lidocaine to numb it before the stick. I told him to just go ahead and stick, I wasn't afraid of needles, and lidocaine BURNS! THEN, he started telling me about the nerve block. (I had never had one of those!) and that he would be injecting me in my GROIN! Oh the Horror! I looked at him and said "You WILL put me to sleep FIRST, won't you?" When he looked perplexed, because, evidently they don't usually, and asked why, I told him "Well, I don't know about YOUR groin, but that is a VERY sensitive area for ME! Please, please, I can't be awake for that one!" He just laughed. But he did!

Just to prove that I am not the evil http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-devil10.gif in disguise....I am going to be very nice and not put anything on here to make you laugh and hurt http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...angelic002.gif
I hope that the doctor finds out what is ailing you and can get it taken care of quickly!!! If not, that he can atleast keep you medications to take away the pain so you can keep resting well. :D :D :D

Glad gai talked to you. I came in on this late and do not have to worry as long as everyone else has.

Sleep well, see the doc tomorrow and take care!
