I am in our local Hospice for rest bite at the moment, the doctor here said I have postural drop. It explains why I keep falling. He also prescribed me morphine for my breathing, which I add know idea would work. But it did. I'm just annoyed as iv been breathless for 2 years because my gp said there is nothing that would help
