I did read that comment about wiping the outer layer of the oxycontin off, but there's no way I'd do that. It's a slow release med so wiping off the coating is as bad as breaking it in half.

I have had dramas previously with my liver, during a ketamine infusion 3 years ago. We had to cancel the infusion on day 2 (of a 7 day low dose infusion) before my AFTs went from 40 to 100 to 140 within those two days. Two weeks later it had gone back down to around 50, but with each infusion I've had since then, they've done daily blood tests to check my liver function is all ok.

So I'll bring that issue up when I see my pain specialist and see what he thinks, if the itching is related to my liver.

For now I'll just carry on with phenergan to help control the itching, but only take it on the bad nights, not every night.

Thanks again for all the feedback
