Pain
"Dulls pain from Fibromyalgia including bad headache, lower back and lower neck pain.  Only problem is that BIG PHARMA is making it tough to get.  They want everyone hooked on NSAIDS and Acetaminophen.  The side effects form NSAIDS are far worse than Demerol and similar Opiods.   Using NSAIDS or Acetaminophen causes me serious Blood Pressure increases taking me well in to the danger zone.  Demerol not only has no side effects, at least for me, but actually lowers my BO. If forced to take NSAIDS, I would have to take BP meds which for most part I am allergic to. I take Demerol, as a last resort only when actually needed normally  &lt; 5mth."
