weird resistance to painkillers
Has anyone else had this problem and have any answers? My whole life since being diagnosed at age 9, i’ve been resistant to all painkillers- ibuprofen and paracetamol hasn’t worked since like age 10, i’ve tried all the NSAIDs i’ve been offered and they don’t do a thing, cocodamol/codeine i can take 60mg (highest dose they’ll give) and it won’t work the second time i try it.
Morphine also stops working after 2nd / 3rd dose
Fentanyl Patch immediately stopped working on the second day (only worked up to like 24 hours when it’s a 72 hour patch)
My height is quite short and my weight is very underweight bc of other conditions
No doctors will prescribe me anything and just say oh idk what to give you
i’m in agony 24/7 365 days a year. its made me have to leave university and work, that was 4 years ago.
What on earth do i do to get some normal painkillers? now keep in mind, bc of this tolerance, i do not take them regularly at all. it would be like once every few months or 6 months like it is not all the time at all bc they simply do not work- so im just suffering
does anyone know WHY this is happening to me and how to get around it? especially with negligent doctors
oh i’ve even tried lidocaine infusions which did absolutely nothing!
My sister has the same body size and medical conditions as me and has absolutely no problem w meds at all! I am the only one I have ever met like this
TLDR: My body has a strange resistance to all pain medication and there are 0 known reasons behind it
*NOT ASKING FOR ADVICE, JUST LOOKING IF OTHERS ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS*
