Cathie a few months ago I saw a report on a painkiller called Norco. That's what I take. This new Norco has no additives of aspirin type medication. I don't know if it's available I haven't asked my doctor. But we all know the slippery slope that painkillers can be. But in my case I have no option at this time.You and me both on both points. I can't take most painkillers because of my aspirin allergy and now some doctors think I'm crazy because I won't or can't take what they are offering. I've actually been fired as a patient because of it. I would rather deal with pain then the allergic or side effects of some prescription drugs.
