Co-dydramol

[croyde]

On these as pain killers at the mo' and lord knows what the pain would be like without them, either that or they are not working BUT they seem to have cured something else.

Having suffered from a nervous tummy for years, especially bad as I work on live shows or in situations where bogs are very rare so a bit of a nightmare and socially crippling, yet since I have been on these Co-dydramol, I am back to one decent st in the morning and no stomach turning and actually able to eat food with company without having to excuse myself all the time.

Coincidence? Can I stay on these forever, doubt it.

Horrid things. It's paracetamol with an extra something. They made me drowsy and want to vomit so I just put up with the pain after an op. You ought to have the tummy dealt with properly. Is it simply nerves? If so, learn some sort of relaxation techniques or speak to an EFT therapist or hypnotherapist. Or perhaps you have a food allergy and didn't realise.

It's the codeine, bungs up the botty normally.

I have some for a bad back last year, didn't touch the back, but they work wonders on a bad headache, which is unusual as paracetamol don't normally work

Oddly less likely to make you drowsy than co-codamol (at least in my fairly extensive experience). A good middle ground but if the OP doesn't have an existing bowel problem and isn't doing something that will kick the guts (extreme diet, lots of naughty foods) then probably worth a quick Q of the Doc.
