Yes they can be. I personally had an epidural with my daughter and it did not affect me in any way other than to stop labor. Once in the operating room they did a spinal on me 3 times and i could still feel everything, but not wanting to be asleep for it, i just gritted my teeth and tried to pretend i didn't feel it after they said if i could still feel them cutting me i would have to be put asleep there was no way i was missing my daughter's arrival, and although I passed out twice, I managed to stay awake and see my daughter before going back out. After some complications and bleeding heavily, i finally got out of recovery and into a hospital room, where they had me on a morphine pump... it did nothing. I could still feel all of the pain, and there was no "fuzziness" that they warned me about. They upped the dosage and still it wouldn't help any, and then gave me a shot of it, and still it did nothing. I asked the nurse for a Tylenol, and even-though she looked at me like i was insane, she got me one. I took it, and within 30 minutes the pain was gone.... This is becoming a growing concern in the medical field, and i am not the only person in the region to have this "immunity". While most dr's will ask questions about drug use and other causes for common immunity to pain medication, a lot of people who have this "immunity" have no history of any substance abuse problems. I did have major health issues as a child, that involved pain (knee tendon issues, irritable bowel syndrome, early onset Arthritis and such) but was never on medication for them other than over the counter things like Tylenol, Advil, and Aleve, so in short, yes it is possible.

Why do some people catch contagious diseases but others no?
Some people have stronger immune systems or are immune to it.
Can morphine breakdown your immune system?
Not by itself. However, people addicted to morphine and other opiates (as well as to drugs in general) often fail to practice good health and nutrition habits. That will undermine the immune system with time. Additionally, drug injection itself has the potential to introduce virus and bacteria that can cause systemic infections ranging from phlebitis (inflammation of the circulatory system) to HIV, the ultimate immune destroyer.
Is it possible that morphine sulfate will not relieve pain for some people?
Yes. Depending on the tolerance of the patient to the effect of morphine, a normal IV dose of 5 mg (or an oral dose of 15 mg) may not relieve the pain. Tolerant people (who have been taking morphine for a long time, and who therefore have become somewhat "immune" to the effects) can require many times the normal, starting dose of morphine for pain relief. Given an adequate dose, however, there is no intrinsic limit to the pain relieving properties of morphine. This is one of the key advantages of this drug, and it is a reason it is still the gold standard for analgesics 160 years after its discovery.
Why is it that some people never get sick?
Some people have stronger immune systems due to genetics or a healthy lifestyle, which helps them fight off infections. Additionally, factors like regular exercise, proper nutrition, and low stress levels can contribute to overall better health and reduced risk of illness.
Who are the famous people that have taken morphine?
There are numerous famous people who have taken morphine. Most of these people had addictions that involved morphine. These people include River Phoenix, Mitch Hedburg, and Chris Farley.
Is opium stronger than morphine?
No, morphine is stronger because morphine is the most potent chemical in opium. Codeine, thebaine, and a few other chemicals are also in opium, but they are weaker than morphine and thus weaken the whole compound. However, some people prefer the euphoria that opium provides over that of morphine' morphine euphoria has been described by some as a bit "flat".
What are some medical uses for morphine?
Morphine is a pain killer.
Why are some people more immune to certain diseases than others?
It is usually down to different genetic make up. A good example is why some people are more immune to HIV and Aids.
Should you eat before taking morphine?
Some people will feel nausea soon after a dose and some food taken with your dose will ease this. Drink plenty of water with your dosage and continue hydrating while on morphine.
How do people use morphine?
Daily
How can mutaion be good?
Evolution. It makes some people immune to certain diseases.
Can you actually throw up morphine given through IV?
No... the morphine is absorbed into the bloodstream - not passed into the digestive tract. However, morphine given through IV can still make some people sick to their stomach. It can cause vomiting in those that are sensitive to it, but they would only be throwing up their stomach contents, not the actual morphine.
