As a fellow Kidney Stone Alumni, I approve of this treatment. I got the unfortunate opportunity to discover I'm mostly immune to Morphine during this event. I learned this while in the fetal position on the floor of a small room off the ER at the local Hospital.
Fun times... This was when I was 26, and now at double that age, I still 'perk up' if i get a cramp in my Kidney. That doesn't happen very often, but I do know exactly where my kidney is, and if I get a pain there I quickly start thinking... Oh no, please no!
Ask for Dilaudid next time. Morphine did nothing for me but dilaudid was instant relief (and loopiness)
They wouldn't give me anything stronger until I was admitted. I was given Dilaudid once I got a room and then I left the room (mentally) :)
