best of luck to the Mrs FT , all that morphine aint good for no-one sure it helps a bit but in my personal experience it leaves people not able to function properly !! ie ; doped up

Cheers cisco , tbh doesn't leave her doped up just takes the edge off now, she's hardly ever not in pain , psycosis knocks her bandy & sorts the pain

& after experimentation with self addressed carepackages

the best we've found for her is MY's Blueberry or GA's 4077 oh & a certain jolly bar manager/weed demon's ice , that worked wonders

Fingers still crossed

Thats good mate the people in my life who have had to use morphine i feel fucked them up bad !!

like dozing in/out , forgetting what they are saying !! not a good sight but the docs say they need it and prob do for the pain , i just dont like it after seeing my Dad in a severe mess with morph i feel it robbed him/me of some time together !!

RIP SR Cisco

I do see your point Cisco mate at 1 time they had her on methadone , dihydracodine(sp?), diazepam, temazepam & citalopram that left her pretty vegative

sometimes only woke up to take more meds , right now she takes the following , mst , gabapentin , diazepam & temazepam . She'd give them all up if she could find a decent longterm replacement , hence my lots of posts + pics in certain other thread

That's really, really nasty FT sorry to hear that...I couldn't imagine being in that much pain, you're wife must be a very strong lady to cope with it
