Extreme old age

Lewkat said:
Morphine was given to me post-op and I nearly died. Talk about respiratory suppression. Never again. I am leery of any kind of analgesia beyond an aspirin these days. I used to dispense morphine like there was no tomorrow and never saw a reaction like I had. I must be very sensitive. I am difficult to anesthetize for any length of time as well. I've awakened too soon during surgery.

By any chance, are you a redhead? We are difficult to anaesthetise, and often have unpredictable reactions to meds. This increases with age.

Ohh, I am sorry, I did not realise that. I would never mock you😔
some people have sensitivities with meds not linked to hair colour. My mother was very dark, yet she had allergic or sensitive reactions to most meds. Funny, she could drink copious amounts of

scotch on an empty stomach without getting very drunk. Never had a hangover. She wasn’t a heavy drinker, but at parties she had fun. Have you spoken to a medical professional about your concerns?

I know you weren't mocking me it's ok. :) They know I'm tough to put under and that I'm allergic to almost every med on the planet. You should see their faces when they see my list. It's funny.
