I too am allergic to Nickle, Latex, Silicone, Adhesive hospital tape, Morphine, Demerol, Benadryl, Dilaudid, and Hydrocodone.

When i am in the hospital I am allergic to all of these pain meds.  They tell me they would give Benadryl for people allergic. But I can't take benadryl. I would rather suffer the allergic reactions then be in pain. Every time I go in my choice of pain meds gets smaller and smaller. I really don't know what will be left for me for the pain.
