Post #37

Despite all the pain (although it had eased up and was almost bearable), the thing that bothered me most for a couple of hours was the itching. My arms itched quite a bit but, holy crap, my nose was driving me nuts! No matter what I did, it would not stop! I never even thought about telling anyone about this. Then, a nurse came in and started another IV. She told me it was Benadryl because some people have a reaction to morphine and it makes them itch. I said “Oh! So that's why my nose won't stop itching!” She kind of laughed and asked why I hadn't mentioned anything about that. I told her I didn't think it was important.
