Mistiis,
Sorry to hear about your situation. While I am glad to get some feedback, I am sorry to have other people with similar problems.... hmmmm, that sentence may not make any sense to you.

I tried a lot of pain meds for my lower back, finally settled on Morphine and Oxycodone. Those meds stopped a lot of the pain for me. My mind does not function properly now, I am not sure why. Anyway, many of my problems are listed under Fibromyalgia and Peripheal
Neuropothy....I know I misspelled it, but for some reason I can't remember PN's spelling.

My problems move around. Last night I was pretty much ok until we went to bed. THEN my rib cage hurt, my right thigh and hip hurt if I put weight on them, my right calf muscle felt like someone hit me there with a ball bat... crazy things like that. I have no idea why, so I just accept it and try to find some position I can lay in which lets me sleep. I put my Ventilator mask on, the oxygen machine is already on, so with the machines turned on, I eventually go to sleep. Luckily for me, our local electric company gives people on life support machines a 30-35% break on the electric bills. I also have huge HEPA Air Filter next to the bed. It runs 24/7 in our bedroom.

There are over 100 different kinds of PN, so I guess it is what I call a "catch all disease".
I sure hope you get to feeling better. I take it one day at a time and hope the situation
gets better for both of us. I can't even tell the doctor when my problems began because the years on morphine may have masked the onset of it.

Thanks for the reply .... It kind of helps to know I am not the only person whose body has turned on them. Take care........Dave
