Hi Jerry!

I think you should ask your pdoc to write a case report about you in a medical journal. I think it's a good idea :-)

>Not even 21!!

Did you say you were 34 or was that someone else? Perhaps I imagined it :-S

>Correct me if I'm wrong - but I believe Codeine and Morphine are "opioids" whereas synthetic versions like fentanyl and hydrocodone are "opiates?"

Opiates = one of the analgesic compounds present in opium eg. morphine, codeine etc.

Opioid = any drug with morphine-like effects eg. codeine, morphine, diamorphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, methadone etc. 'Opioid' can be used to refer to naturally-occurring opiates such as morphine as well as synthetic drugs like fentanyl and semi-synthetic drugs like oxycodone.

Kind regards,
Ed.
