Yeah, I had asked the nurse about that as well because I read that this afternoon... she just called back. Guess we aren't going that route. She's going to talk to the doctor and call back. This is a never-ending cycle. We're running out of options. She doesn't want to give me morphine, we can't do the patch, and she can't think of anything we haven't already tried.. crossing my fingers that the doctor can think of something...

It is a serious step and you need to read all you can about it so you can use it safely.

Starting up in a person who is not on high dose opiates already, is problematic.
