    Hi Soraya,

    I am sorry your feeling so much pain and so sympathise as that's how I start the day as well... its no joke is it? They put me on the oxycotin slow release and the oxynorm for the break through pain instead of the morphine as I can;t take morphine too well.

    Its gets me moving better first thing and luckily it gets freer as the day goes on.

    I so hope your consultant can help you and its not too long to wait now so hang in there and I so hope tomorrow will be kind to you.

    Don't forget we do half decent pocket duties and will be in your pocket for the 18th. Leaving a cyber ((( ))) and nice to see you but wish it was easier for you. Cris x

    You are having a rough time aren't you? Rest assured however that you are not alone in that - there are a fair few of us also going through the mill. :wink: I'm sorry that the slow-release trammies are not working miracles for you - I find that they blunt more of an edge than the coc-os but that's as far as it goes. Let us know what your consultant says on your next visit, I hope they can come up with something better for you. DD

    Hey soraya, I'm so sorry the slow release morphine isn't helping at mo. You may need to ask GP for an increase in dose. I'm on M.S.T (slow release Morphine) and it did take a while to get the doseage right to suit me, so don't give up on it yet. And I feel for you having to go through the hell of ESA, it's the last thing you need. Good luck on the 18th with appt, please remind us a couple of days before for pocket duties as my brain is terrible!! Don't worry about having a moan we all need one now and again!

    I wish you well, Soraya. A long while ago I also had a time without meds and, although it wasn't fun at the time, I now realise I learned a great deal about LWA. I hope their next suggestion is better suited to you and that you gain some long-lasting relief from it all. DD

    Hi Soraya
    I am so pleased that you had a good appointment..its not much to ask is it, and I really do wish you well with the sulfa, has for the injections in the bum, there are quite a few had those on here and have had really good results, I think that Ichabods was one of them...you take care and I hope you get some relief very soon xx
