Default morphine to treat SFN?

Hi Everyone,

It's been a more than a few months since I last posted here. I apologize to those of you that know me and have been in touch via PM. My SFN has progressed so rapidly (12 mos) and has been so painful (full body) that I have not had the will to post, it's basically come down to surviving one day at a time.

The good news is despite overwhelming full body pain I have returned to my job full-time as a work from Home tech. I'm presently coping on 2400 mg of Gabapentin per day and recently my neurologist wants to start me on 15mg of slow release morphine twice a day. Have any of you had any success with morphine to control pain? I'm of course concerned about starting this treatment for the several reasons, such as depressed breathing, constipation, grogginess, etc.

Wishing you all the best,

Cliffman
