"There's a good bit of individual variation in reactions to morphine" Well thats illuminated me a hell of a lot. I had sugery on a broken ankle/leg last year, and when I woke I was easily in the worst pain of my life, their might even have been sobbing involved. I was given liquid morphine (tastes like raspberries) which didn't help. then I was given 1 white pill, then two brown pills (that might be the other way round, I wasn't very focused at the time) which did the trick eventualy. I always assumed I was in so much pain because they hadn't given me enough morphine for my weight, I couldn't stand at the time, so they couldn't weigh me very accuratley. The nurses did give lots of sympathy, but not much information. So Im glad I understand a little more now. Im also glad for the anonymity of the internet. Because i certainly couldn't have told my freinds that I might have cried like a girl
