It's me....Again
I'm happy to report that I think the 30 mg ER Morphine is working for me. Not perfect but at least back to where I was with the BuTrans 20 mcg/hr patch and I'll take that right now.
The only problem I've had is a stomach ache one day last week and the week before that. (waiting to see if it happens this week!)
I've never had stomach problems....not even when I was pregnant so I was surprised when I got this sour, burning pain in my stomach and throat.
The first attack I just used anti-acids and tried to sleep it off. The 2nd attack was so bad I called my PM dr. Before the nurse pract called back that day I had found where some people were helped by drinking milk. I love milk so I tried it and low and behold the pain lessened and then went away.
The nurse pract asked lots of questions and then said she didn't think it was the ER morphine. Said it sounded like a GI issue happening at the same time since the milk helped. She said my symptoms did not go along with stomach problems ER morphine would cause. Not real sure I agree with that.
She suggested I make an appointment with my PCP. I'll probably do that since I need to go anyway. Every once in a while I'll feel a weird feeling in my throat on down in my neck area. Weird.
Next subject  : I loved getting my hair washed and dried last Thursday. So relaxing. Think I'll keep at it another couple of weeks.....or FOREVER 
Next subject: My pool was installed and because I have such good luck.....it started leaking on one side of the pool ! Thank goodness when the pool man called yesterday he agreed to replace the liner ! Was afraid I would have to fight with them.
It is amazing to look out there and picture what it's going to look like when the deck is build around it. Think I'll take my pillow and blanket and just live out there.
That's my update. Hope everyone is getting along as best they can. This SFN is really debilitating and depressing. I don't know anything else to do except move forward you know ?
