Hi
Oramorph can be prescribe to help with breathing problems.
I use 3/4 times a day. 1.25mls
Not suitable for everyone.

Thank you I am going to go onto the link in your message stone-uk and read about it 🌈🌈😊
Hi
Like stone I also have oromorph prescribed I was very loathe to use it at first but it does help. I do not use it regularly but i know of many who do and they swear by it.
I have recently been prescribed Oramorph for use with pain associated with lung cancer and also a smaller dose for breathlessness, and have found it very effective - have about 2 doses per day (depending on level of pain and/or breathlessness).
Hello elizabeth. i am now off all mst morphine have been for 9 months. i would not advice anyone to take this, it put me into respitory arrest 3 times i was in I.CU due to this & to be switched off, in oct past i started CBD oil the best pain relieve ive ever had. no side effects it is not addictive. this is sadly not on NHS & should be i buy mine myself. the CBD has helped this COPD i am off all inhalers. PLEASE look into CBD oil. i hope you do. xx
I would love to know where you get CBD
if you are on FB just put in CBD where you from.
oxfordshire
if you on facebook put in CBD UK you cab get advice there.
I'm not on face book.
I know its difficult to gat the right stuff.
They sell cbd oil at Holland and barret but that's not the right stuff.as far as I know its legal in some parts of America not here.
. if u go to youtube put CBD oil UK, you will get a place that way, its only if it Has THC in it its illegal, but CBD isnt & can be bought from a few shops over the UK.
Thanks I'll give oy a try
Hi Betsyanne, I was told not to take CBD oil as it can interact withother medications?
I have been taking oramorph 1.2mls about twice a week. It definitely helps me both with breathlessness and anxiety.
Hi Elizabeth
I have pulmonary fibrosis, and the palliative nurse who is calling to attend to my husband who has cancer, saw his bottle of Oramorph on the table, and advised me to take a small 2.5 ml spoonful to help my symptoms. I did so but to be honest, it didn't seem to make a huge difference. So the answer seems to be, give it a try, it obviously works for some people. Good luck

Thank you everyone for your replies I will take on board all your answers and pass them on to my friend in fact I am going to suggest that he should go onto this site it may help him because you are all so kind and helpful hope everyone is having somewhat of a good day 😊😊😊
I have oromorph for bronchospasm and seldom use it, but when nothing else helps I find it invaluable - it sorts the situation out very quickly.

Hi,
I have recently been in hospital where they regularly prescibe morphine or Oramorph for those short of breath. A small dose of between 1.25/2.5 probably ml and tell you that it both helps with pain AND breathlessness.
No ill effects so far.

yes I use oramorph it is my last go to resort but certainly works normally do not use it much but having a bad time at the moment so using it more and more it does help and helps me sleep - I was prescribed it last time I was in hospital 2016 hope that helps xxx
