Does Demerol help with fibromyalgia? Is it a better pain reliver and are there less side effects with demerol? I take vicodin and have a hard time breathing when I take it. Is this a side effect from the vicodin?

is it a fact that your liver can block morophine from entering the blood stream so you dont get full effect from it plus is demerol better than morophine????????

I have been taking the drug for 4 yrs. now. I had brain surgery in 2005, and they took me off Morphine and Duragisic Pathches after about 2 yrs. and stated me on Loratab, Meperdine, and Phenergan. I've had no side affects and after several test, the Doctors decided that it was pain after stroke, and it'll be with me for the rest of my life. These drugs work most of the time, but sometimes the pain is so bad I have to go to the ER to get some relief. If anyone one knows of a drug that will work better please tell me
