You’ve seen with me how pain meds can cause major weight gain and a slight change can drastically add or take off pounds.

I’m sure his Doc is keeping track of his weight loss and adjsting accordingly - however, I also know, losing a large amount of weight, quickly, does change how the body reacts to meds.

I’ve lost close to 50lbs now after getting on Opana and off the “cocktail” I was on before, as I’m losing the weight, I “feel” the meds much more then before. In fact now I’m going back to falling asleep on the sofa for a bit after taking my pain killer. Doc may have to make changes in my dose next month.

Whatever caused this (and I’m no saying it’s drug related at all) i’m positive Rush will receive the best medical care possible and changes will be made i whatever areas they need to be made in.

Yes,Sweetie, I do know all about what you went through. And added to that you had to deal with the food poisoning you got in September and reaction to the medications to clear that up.

I knew my prayers were answered again when I heard you were on your way to complete recovery! See you soon! :)
