    That's been known for some while now, I remember reading much by M Snowling et al! The most common trouble with my clients was phonological deficit (which for some was extreme) and phonological mapping (I ended up saying minellium because that is what I heard day in and day out around that time - I now have to think really hard before saying it to make sure I get it right!) Quite a few would tell me that the alphabet had five valves and twenty one continents and one girl in particular had a magical way with words; she once described a particular bird as a 'feather leopard' - any idea what it might have been? She also described an apostrophe as a 'sky comma' which is delightful.

    Many of my clients were left-handed and a couple stood out because they were completely ampidextrous and would change hands half way along the page. Have you come across the Edith Norrie Lettercase? That was the only bit of kit I needed (but had other stuff too because it didn't work with my colour-blind pupils). It's worth a google, I think you would find it interesting. DD
    Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben

    This is my concern too.

    i think the idea was to find the level that help me then give me some pills to that level but i am going to ask to stay on the liquid. My reason for this is i can control how much i take. I have not taken any today and i am very sore and starting to lock up again but i may only need say 5 ml but if a pill is 10 or 15ml then i am stuck.

    I know this is not long term as the Pain Management clinic will change my meds.
    the problem is i have one specialist dealing with my colitis
    and another dealing with my neck and spine and my gp with the knees.
    hopfully it will all come under one roof, or at least close too it.

    when you say low doses bubbadog what amour are you talking about.
    on the day of my slip i was on 10ml if i was to take some today it would be 5ml 7.5ml at most, i dont know if this is high or not. I do know one thing though on the day i needed it it was a god send.


    thank you all for the advice i feel i need it right now

    To answer your question what I mean by 'low dose' is 5-10ml every 4hrs. Hope this is of help to you James and I hope your meds can get sorted soon.

    That Is good news mate, I am on 5ml to 10ml every 4hours.

    On the first day I went to 7.5ml and upto 10
    On the second day I was on 7.5ml every6 to 7 hours
    I then missed a day, because of reading this forum, the pain came right back so back to 7.5ml

    Today I have not taken any but I will be. I am so glad this is a low dose

    To be honest the morphine scares me.
