Pain relief during Flare up!!!

[sciqueen]

A friend has suggested I ask for Oramorph (morphine sulphate solution).

Has anybody used, is it effective and does it interact with mtx?

Must confess I have never heard of it before.

Thanks

Hello I am not a doctor, so I suggest you see your GP when it comes to meds, But I can tell you that I am on MTX and was prescribed Morphine caplets, But I had a reaction to them so within a day they changed my meds, I take extended relief Oxycontin every 12 hours 30mgs and If need a quick extra dose, Which since I moved from 25mg to 30mg I havent had to, But if necessary I will take a 5 MG Rapid release Oxycodone, I also take paracetamol to see if that helps first.

Hope u get the correct answers

i take a very high dose of co-codamol when on flare up that my gp prescribed for me it doesnt take all the pain away but it makes it bearable and one side affect is it makes me sleepy . go talk to your gp or phone ra nurse they can advise you on the best medication.
