My mother has severe RA in her neck, spine, both shoulders and both hands. She has just recently begun seeing a pain management doctor who has placed her on extended release Morphine. In the past, i have had to hospitalize my mom for rehab from perscription drugs. Because of this her PCP will no longer perscribe her narcotics, hence she is seeing a pain doctor.

Tonight, I go to her house to check on her and my mom was so high she couldn't hold a conversation. She held the TV remote to her ear and began complaining that she couldn't get a signal and she needed to make a phone call. This seemed VERY similar to an MDMA "Blow up" coupled with a really bad case of "incoherent drug talk". I need to stop here and say in addition to the perscribed morohine she is also taking oxycodone which i dont know from whence it came.

As I have given up on drying her out i need to know what she is in for with combining these 2 medications. The Dr. will not speak with me due to confidentiality (which i understand) however, I need to know what to expect as far as how this conbination will affect her already declining health.

Any advice or help would be extremely appreciated. My father has passed and i am an only child. The rest of the family has completely written her off so i am all she has. I just want to help but dont want to be an enabler. However i am a mother of 2 kids that have witnessed their grandmother in this state far too many times.

Please help
