Hi again Dee, I wrote a reply to you on the welcome message that Cyndy instigated a couple of days ago. Unfortunately a business E Mail got included with my reply, don't know how that happened, but at least it proves I don't just sit here all day writing messages . (Its becoming addictive) LOL.You are so right about partners not quite understanding what is happening to you when you suffer so much pain. My wife often says she cannot understand my illness, she will say that one day its my legs and the next my back.
The only way for her to truly understand, would be for her to spend just 1 hour in my body.
I do not recognise any of the drugs you mention, we obviously have different names for them over here, but from the description of your problems, I suspect some of our medication is pretty similar.
Its the morphine that worries me the most, 8 years ago I was taking just 20mg a day, now its 200mg and top ups of oral morph every 4 hours if needed. I did manage to cut down from 300mg which they had me on 2 years ago, but cannot take it any lower without suffering unacceptable pain levels. I am a 'Junkie'! LOL.
Will close for now, take care and I will be in touch for some advise after Monday's meeting with surgeons.
