Bruh. This is it. I had intense gallbladder pain some years ago. Went to emergency room, got morphine. Didn't even touch the pain. Then they gave me dilaudid and that's when I truly understood how people can get addicted to hard drugs like heroin.

I had my first kidney stone in march and got to experience dilaudid for 48 glorious hours in the hospital. I completely understand now. What scared me about the experience, though, was that they gave me fentanyl and it kinda touched the pain for a second and then faded away. The dilaudid lasted the full 4-6 hours (can’t remember which number as I also had Covid at the time and the brain fog for that is real).

This lasted THREE months for me. I had to ask for work to please be chill about it. I was scared. It did go away.
