Ask your consultant when you are there.
A lot of what we read about opioids is not medically correct.
I would explain your fears and concerns to your consultant and go with his/her advice.
But thats just me.
I trust doctors and I think the NHS is marvellous.
I will of course tell the consultant everything.......just not the alcohol part. I do trust doctors completely and I also think the NHS is marvellous, I just don't want alcoholism on record. Still I'm thinking over the opiates again, they tried strong NSAID's once but it completely messed up my stomach/intestines so can't have those again. I'll just wait until the specialist sees me, they know best with this stuff.
At least today wasn't too bad pain wise, so no drinking
