Help Morphine and Oxycodone

I am going to a Pain Mgment Dr on April 9th '08. I would like to be put on Morphine Sulfate and Oxycodone. The level I need is at least 3-100mg Morphine and 6-8 15mg Oxycodone or 6-30mg. I could also use something for sleep like Amitriptyline. That works well for me. I wonder if anyone here takes that med for Lyme and Fibro pain? If so, how does it work for you? I take it now.

My mom died and before she died she gave me her meds because I couldn't get any help. Now that's the level I take and I'm finally been recommended to a Pain Dr. I'm going to tell him the truth but I wanted opinions on the meds for these diseases. What else do you take out there?

I know the dr will yell at me for what I did but I was desperate. I have NEVER taken one illegal drug or prescription not for me but my PCP is a jerk and I couldn't take it any longer. My PCP was giving me 1 7.5 mg hydrocodone a day...ONE!!!! I cried to him about my pain, the level it was at. I begged for any kind of long term meds, he called Pain management a joke and said I was too young (I'm 34). I told him I have no life and I've been a lousy mother (in my eyes) for a few years. I was the fun mom who played everyday and now never. He didn't care.

My mom started me off at a low dose but I worked up to this level quick. I still feel pain at this level but I can get out of bed, play some, and get stuff done that I couldn't a few mths ago. If I have a Dr that will help me, raise me when needed, and listen, I feel my life can come back somewhat.

Any recommendations who how to tell the Dr what I've done with meds? I need him to believe the level I'm at only I don't have any bottles, or a way to show him what I take. He will draw blood at my 1st visit but I could go another 30 days before seeing him. Also, I don't want him to think I'm seeking drugs because I'm an addict or selling it. I have documentation of Lyme, Fibro, chronic UTI's, Adhesions, cysts on ovary (right one gone from cysts) The pain I feel is from the Lyme the most. The Ovary and adhesions hurt the worst during my period or hard bowel movement but they are tolerable on their own....just not with every thing else going on.

I'm scared to death of this Dr's appt. I want help at the level I need it and I need him to believe in me and trust me. I know trust takes time though. Has anyone tried Lyrica? Any suggestions on that? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. BTW, the fentayl patch...I like the pain relief but I am highly allergic to the adhesion stuff.

And I refuse to EVER take Oxycontin!! My huby was on that for a car accident and he hated it completely. I won't touch it and this Dr doesn't deal with that anyway. Please help!! Thanks so much! Take care
