Feminazis will be thrilled.
You mean there might be differences between men and women?
Dewar's works well on me.
The wife hates it.
Sounds like some sadistic researchers, there. First giving rats pleasure, then blocking the opioid receptors and inducing pain.
Muy interesante. Somewhat interesting as well. #1 always told me I was a *ussy when it came to pain. Now then, she was the pillar (salt) of rectitude in child birth, never screaming or fainting so I just assumed she was immune to pain. The divorce filing settled it. The pain question is well-established. Bright red fingernails threatening injury to one’s scrotum are a definite flag that male pain threshold is rather low thus requiring opioid intervention.
Weird, I thought it said : Gay Drug...
I must be one of the exceptions. In a recent hospital stay, the powers that be were getting worried about me not taking enuff painkillers.
Morphine has always worked for me.
Crushed L ankle motorcycle accident, shattered R ankle skydiving accident, GSW L forehead, compound fracture L forearm (radius & ulna), broken R hand, dislocated both hips in an equestrian accident, appendectomy, dislocated R shoulder X 2 skydiving, dislocated L shoulder X 2 (quad riding accidents on same day), hernia surgery. I’m only listing major injuries here [;-)
If you are injured remember that the more noise you make in the ambulance the more morphine you get (Demerol (sp?) is a good substitute). Up to their predetermined limit. But if you say nothing you only get the initial dose.
And most important; the ambulance crew won’t remember who you are the next day or tell your friends you wanted more.
If you get hurt morphine is your best most special friend.
Unless you LIKE pain.
Interesting indeed. My husband takes Percocet when nothing else will tame his migraine headaches. He tries to persuade me to take it when I can’t get relief from my own headaches, but I stay away from the stuff. I usually find that it does little for my pain, but makes me violently ill. I always thought it was an individual difference, but perhaps there’s more to it than that.
This has been known for some time, but it was considered to Politically Incorrect to mention. The reason being that men have a lower threshold for pain BUT GREATER TOLERANCE for pain once it starts.
Men have more receptors for pain - but also more receptors for endorphons to numb the pain. Men are “tougher” than women. (If a man were to give birth, the first few labor pains would drive him mad, but then, the endorphons would kick in and he would have something like a “runners high” for the rest of the labor.)
Morphine is a gift from God when you need it.
It is not by accident he made poppies for us to use as needed responsibly.
Ask anyone terminal with Big C for starters....
or a compound fracture or herniated or ruptured disc or bad burns or phantom amputee pain etc
and yes i think men are a hair more prone to appreciate sister M

A few units in your IV is a wonderful thing... or one of those on-demand things where you’re on a small dose, and can give yourself a booster. Meperadine made me “take the trip without leaving the farm” -
I hate opioids. They do not work on me and just mess up my head. Xylocaine doesn’t even work. When I have to get stitches, they shoot me up which take some of the pain away and I just grit my teeth and bear it.
Of course it works better on men. It affects the BRAIN.
Without Morphine - there would be a lot fewer old men alive today....
I’ve had a few surgeries and the only one I had no post surgery complications with was the one where they used morphine as the pain killer.
