I hope others respond to the "around the liver" question about the meds. I don't really know which med's do that, and I'd like to know if there are better options out there!

Thanks Tam
Maddy,
actually, you are answering in the opposite direction which I think is good. Good for you. But to answer your question, you want pain meds that avoid having to go through the liver. I was told Fentanyl patches (which I believe in, and you have to read the insert (very long) in full and follow it absolutely to a "t"), and also Dilaudid.

I'll try to find more.
