Very confusing week........and it's still only Tuesday!

Haven't been on here in ages but thought maybe I could find some wisdom :)

Yesterday morning had ultrasound scan in an attempt to understand why both feet and legs are very, very swollen & more painful than usual. Seemingly nothing interesting showed up..... echocardiogram is next.

Followed by visit to Rheumatologist who informed me I should never have been prescribed Zomorph for my fibro and need weaning off it asap as I'm on 60mg twice a day.

Oh and we're discharging you because there's nothing we can do for fibro.......

Saw my GP who said it'll take a couple of weeks to be off the Zomorph.....really??

She hasn't suggested anything in its place but I'd used the morphine patches previously & they didn't suit me..

So now I'm home & feeling more confused than usual.....
