Hi Shelly H. The only time I have ever been given dilaudid was through an IV
for pain. I had a procedure done that has so far ruined my life. The first
5-6 weeks I was in and out of Urgent Care. There is a place called SHAPES,
my gastro referred me there for IV therapy because my pain was out of
control. I was given Dilaudid both times along with a nausea med, and Saline
for dehydration. I also ended up in the E.R on the weekend for the same
thing and was given the same meds. Did you go to the hospital or urgent
care, or anywhere else that may have given you an IV and pain meds? Anything
not related to adhesions that you may have had done at around the same time?
Was your test mixed up with someone elses? I just wanted to tell you how
Dilaudid is used. Good luck! Cheryl D.
