Hello fellow liver patients! If your alive...it’s a great day for celebrating!! I have a question for everyone! What was ur opiate medication? I’m trying to see if anyone can relate to me. In 2004 they removed a tumor on my remaining ovary. I only had one cause I had ovarian cancer at 19 yrs. old. So,I was to have my one ovary removed(hysterectomy) so the cancer Dosent come back. So in 2004 they reluctantly did surgery ( hysterectomy) they considered me very high risk for surgery. My liver was so far gone,this is the first time my liver was mentioned. The doc did the surgery and then relayed the condition of my liver to me and family. He said it was a big bag of peanuts! The liver that is. Anyway they put me on narcotics stating after surgery. They kept me on a daily stream of Dilaudid. The point 4s! I was on them daily till my transplant for 2 straight years. Then<get this,they continued to give me every month 180 point 4 dilaudids from transplant till last year. So from 2014 till 2018,I was on this narcotic daily. Never missed a day. That is daily use of the strongest narcotics out there. I also was on them every 4-6 hrs for a solid 5 years. Four yrs. after transplant I was still taking the same amount. I think I was over prescribed!! I finally took matters in my own hands. I refused anymore scripts and had to get on a methadone 30 day detox program. That’s how I got off the narcotics that were prescribed every month! Have any of you had this problem either now or before?
