The doctor prescribed Co codamol but I was reluctant as they gave me stomache pain last time I had some so the doctor said have a low dose see how you get on! I was given 8/100mg and took three quarters of one before sleeping, after 5.5 hrs I got up with dull headache feeling groggy and leg pains ....WHAT !!!! My sister and I are both sensitive to meds the hospital actually wrote that on her notes after a stay. Anyone else like this?

    Think you might have to steer clear of codeine - it does have some nasty side effects!

      Got constant stomach pain now nothing shifts it. But with other things going on I don't know what's what. Having blood test thus morning for liver/kidneys.

      That's the thing....sometimes the symptoms and the side effects blur into one! sad Hope the blood test goes ok. Let us know how you get on. x
