why people with chronic pain do not take morphine? i have had PN for 10 years that was caused by ZOCOR. three months after taking ,my PN started. i tried all kinds of medicine. my VA.pain doc tried it all. five years ago he said Morphine.i started with one a day. to get relief in one year i was takeng 240 mg a day. it gave me the relief to continue living until i could help myself with vitamins. i am very tolerent of side effects and had no real problems. last year i slowly lowered my intake of Morphine to 1 30mg. a day. the vitamins are working. i believe Morphine slow release can be used by most people. Zocor destroyed my mylien sheath i know in me heart. the vitamins i take are primarly to regrow the mylien. my pain is usually 1-2 and sometimes flares up to 4-5. i believe with the help of Jesus and my vitamins i will be cured or die trying. either way i win. i have been a member for 6 years and with thge help from this forum and lots of research i am living proof some people can beat or at least live with this desease. my prayers are with all people who have chronic PAIN.

OVER THE YEARS I HAVE TAKEN A VARIETY OF VITamins. All from this site or from research. When i would find one i thought was better i would drop one or add it to my list.These are the ones i have been taking for about year.

B-12 methyl. 15 MG
B 50 complex
R lipoic acid200mg.
A_L_C 500 mg.
Benfotiamine 300mg.
Acai 1000mg
Omega 369
Jiaogulan 250 mg
Co-q-10 100mg
Ginkgo Biloba 400mg

I take 1 30 mg Morphine only if i need it.
I use Lidoderm patches only if needed.

The people on this web site meana great deal to me. The caring and infomation i have received should be known by all people needing any medical help.

I believe my healing has come GOD,ELECTRICAL THERAPY, VITAMINS AND KEEPING CONTROL OF STRESS.

I pray my info. will help other people.

Thank you so much George. Can I ask a moderator to copy this to the sticky at the top of the page, so we can all refer to it?
(that way it won't move down and be lost)
