the only medication that affects me very badly, because of its side effects is Dihydracodine as it affects my mental cognition, and train of thought it also makes me very itchy and want to scratch my legs very hard

This week I had MOHs Surgery on my ear. The surgeon recommended phosphate of codeine to counteract the pain. After the first dose I felt unwell and was very soon being sick. I then read the paperwork in the box and it became clear that this is a common problem. Now coping OK with paracetamol and making progress.

Is there any site where serious discussion is promoted, instead of gossip? I came here for insight regarding Bullous Pemphigoid; and, am not any more informed than the day I registered.

I guess my worst is chemo and radiation at the same time. My 77 year old body is having a few problems with it. I've been getting sick to my stomach but it's almost 3 weeks after chemo so I don't think it's that. I will make it through this but it's tough. Prayers and hugs

I had an anaphylactic reaction to Septrin, I've also had a phototoxic reaction to Fenofibrate. Both reactions hospitalised me. Numerous other medications have given me nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, stomach pain and joint pain. I've got to the point were I am very wary of trying any new medications now 😞
