I see the word Morphine. Please be careful with that as my sister has become addicted to it and it is hard like any addiction to get off and when you may really need it it will not work that well. I have started with the Legal CBD (Marawana oil) or other name is Hemp Oil. I started on the smallest quanta strength of 100 (other 300) and I use 2 squirt a night on my tongue. It is quit a thick liquid so press down and place on toughen and move it around the mouth. You also get it in a drop formula but have to add hot water etc... I am lazy and think some will stick to the glass and you will not get your full dose?? so prefer the SQUIRT one which they call SPRAY!? you can buy it at Good Health Food Shops about £30.00, you can also buy it on line. I was warned to be careful on who you buy it from the cheaper the poorer the oil???

I live in great pain with a degenerative spine, so sleeping with me was a night mare! and it is so important your partner gets their sleep. My partner said it is like sleeping in an Airport Lounge - so the only answer is separate rooms and smaller beds which will give you more room and freshness in your bedroom. Also insure your bedroom all electrical currents are off i.e my computer is in my room so it is now attached to a remote control switch to turn it all off. Make sure you do not do much computer work before going to bed. Hope this is of some help?...

Def Try CBD oil. (MARIJUANA- It isnt by the way!). We all have an Endocannabinoid system in our bodies responsible for alot of things amongst them, pain ,depression, anxiety regulation. The way to star CBD oil is low and slow so as to kick start your own Endocannabinoid system. I.e 1 drop 3 times a day for a week, then 2 then 3 etc until you find the correct dose for you. Have a good read of this site it really explains it all. Its American so we can recommend British online shops to buy your CBD oil from if you wish.

I'm on High doses of Morphine and am reducing with my G.P's help and support and replacing it with the CBD oil.My pain levels are so low its amazing!

Bless you hunny ask your doc for different meds maybe I know I toss turn get very frustrated with myself as the night goes on and I can't sleep because of the pain. I am lucky in a way as I am divorced so not being touched as this made me a nightmare to sleep with fidgeting and ratty. I don't know if your the same tablets can barley seam to take the edge off or send you into a state of oblivion where the world carries on and your barely part of it. I think for me I chose to live with more pain as couldn't stand feeling separate. If you know what I mean morphine is a scary drug for me but I'm allergic to quite a lot of meds so stick to basic paracetamol xxxxx

ive been on morphine for 15 yrs. I'm not gonna get off it now. I'm on fentanyl 100mcg patches gabapentin and had a liver transplant. I fell due to loss of sensation in my right leg. Been to my gp every week for last month. Anyway ended up breaking my wrist shoulder and im walking with a stick. Be careful pls. I've tried amitriptyline it doesn't work for me. Morphine is lethal i swear

That’s same as me they must be strong with amithripline in the day when only had other meds and morphine I don’t even go sleep x

Dotpot I often think gp,s who leave patients with such a cocktail of drugs and no follow ups or home visits should be ashamed, I know they are very busy but prescribing to that strength you would be monitored in a hospital,, your O.H should take you to A&E via paramedics so that they see what is happening to you, the meds are obviously having adverse effects and so should be checked out by a hospital professional, cleared out of your system and prescribed by a hospital consultant only.. good luck dont sit on this.
