"I wonder what is out there that I won't be allergic to, if I ever need it."

In the hospital after botched hemorrhoid surgery, they gave me Demrol by injection. Wonderful relief.

Later--after non-botched surgery, they gave me oral Demerol. Two tablets and my arms and legs were moving on their own accord. I looked up Demerol in the PDA and "involuntary muscular tremors" was listed as a common side effect.

I have no idea why the oral form caused this but the injectible did not.

So I stopped taking the Demerol but those two tabs got me over the hump.

When I had my appendix removed, the nurse gave me injections of demerol. All I remember is that each injection would suddenly put me to sleep within minutes -- I'd literally drop out like a narcoleptic -- and would have the deepest sleep of my life.
