Hi Cherie,
The morphine didn't do anything for the numbness but every 3 hours when I called the nurse I got the morphine. It did take care of the nerve pain as well as the pancreas pain, and while they had my dose higher on it I didn't care about the numbness either.....
The blood levels were the key to them putting me RIGHT into the hospital though, it was the I THINK they called it the "Lipase levels" were all over the place and my PCP got me admitted immediately.
Get that blood work done Cherie, I didn't think they could get much from a BLOOD test either but aparently it was KEY to that diagnosis........
I wish you didn't have to go through that barage of testing when your blood could tell a bigger story....
Hope you continue to feel "OK" while waiting...
Joe

The pain has let up a lot while I've been waiting for this testing, so I wonder if anything would show up at this point anyway. I suppose whatever the problem is will still show in my blood, even if the symptoms aren't as active . . .?
The morphine didn't help the TM neurological symptoms, did it?
