Kadian Oral

Thanks, Mom. :) Oops. I mean:  O_o

I'm confused, too. It says Kadian is a brand name of extended-release morphine sulfate. Do you mean that you take that and then regular(not extended-release) morphine for breakthrough pain? I guess we need to not get the two different types confused, eh? To be clear, I am taking generic extended-release tablets. My DR just upped my dose to 3x30mg three times a day. For breakthrough pain, he prescribed Roxanol, which is a liquid form of morphine sulfate(not extended-release). It looks like maybe we both take the same basic thing: extended-release morphine for typical pain, with a non extended-release form of morphine for breakthrough pain? And you don't experience much in the way of side effects (other than the tongue tingle...haha)? It never affects your sleep?

 

Auntie Harmony!!!!

Of course I remember the praying mantis thing. Every time I see one, or their egg pouches, I think of you and Nick. (I'm so glad they caught JJH.) And then I saw advertisements for that movie, and I knew it was about the Nick thing. I miss chatting, too. That was right after I had to stop working, and I was so messed up trying med after med and having test after test and hoping and praying that someone would figure out what was wrong with me. Smiling Fibros came along at a time that I truly needed a support group. You were there from the beginning, but I actually knew you even before that...on Fibrohugs. At least I knew OF you on there. Anyway...sorry you are having more pain lately. And don't say your pain is not near what someone else's is! Until someone invents a way to truly measure pain, no one can accurately compare the pain of two individuals. (Personally, I think there are multiple ratios involved, but that's for another topic.)

 

Thanks for the input and kind words!
