I have intentionally worked to stay at the lowest dose possible because of the constipating side effects and my wish to not be overly addicted...

Thank you for your feedback, I hope that you're managing well.

My pain is at an extreme level, body wide. I did start the morphine pills but so far they just take the edge off the pain leaving me constipated and with memory fog. I already shopped the pills but may try again given I'm running out of options.

I'm truly sorry to hear the morphine didn't help with the SFN, have you found any type of effective treatment for your pain?

I prefer to live with it Cliffman. It's amazing what we get used to over time. If it's flaring very badly then I take a Nefapam - not sure it does much though. Naproxen and Amitriptyline were always my besties but finally the side effects became fire. Keeping busy and walking as much as possible are my preferred methods of distraction these days.
