Default hi pebble

I hope you find the doctors you need, so you don't have to look around for another one. That is hard to do, and I have had to do this as well. I have a pain specialist, and neurologist. The pain doctor is new after being with another one for the last 5 years. I hated to look around, and interviewed 3 before I found this one, who is also a Physiatrist. She takes the whole body into consideration, not just the pain problem. She is an MD of course, but the Physiatist, is another branch of medicine, that tries to use vitamines and gets you into a healthy state.
This med. that I mentioned is morphine in low dose. I really get no side effects at all from it, yet it controls the pain pretty good. I also have to be careful as I have barretts esophagus, that started with Gerds. I can't take the meds. that upset my stomach. It is a big decision to go on any narcotic, and this one is no exception. You have to commit yourself to be very careful and follow the directions exactly. You can't skip doses, or just take it when you want.
I really hope you find both a doctor, and medication that will work for you. take care, ginnie
