Good Morning Everyone
Very gentle hugs to you all.
I have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis in the spine and hips, 3 old fractures of the spine, osteoarthritis of 3 vertabrae, a slight bulging disc and rheumatoid arthritis. I was on 40mg Zomorph a day, 500mg paracetamol 2 x 3 times a day. Zomorph is the most disgusting medication on the planet, I constantly feel sick, have no appetite and feel drowsy all the time. I thought enough is enough, it's bad enough still having the pain,but to have the side effects on top of it is not good. I started trawling the internet for chemical free remedies and came across Magnesium oil. I am a natural sceptic, but thought hey why not give it a go. It says that it helps with pain and helps you to sleep. I can only sleep on my right hand side and I wake up every hour with excruciating pain in my right shoulder because I am sleeping in a funny position. Friday night I sprayed the oil on my shoulder and slept through from 9pm - 5.45 am. When I got up I found that my back pain had decreased and I didn't feel sick. I felt a bit drowsy, but had an hour's sleep in the afternoon and woke up fine. Saturday I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thought maybe it was just be a fluke and tried it again last night. Slept from 10pm - 6.45 (woke up once at 4.45 but went straight back to sleep). This morning no nausea and pain in back decreased again, also don't feel drowsy. I am now going to decrease the morphine by 10mg and see how I get on with that. I am not saying I have found a micracle cure, but at the moment it's working for me. Anything that will help me cut down on the morphine is good enough for me
