Hi Eve thanks for that , I was told its the liver getting used to morphine that leads to higher doses At the moment I am relying on Severadol just to get through the day Hopefully the Macmillan nurse will ring and up the Oxycontin dose soon , if not Iwould rather go back on mst morphine at least Tlcan function better on that Take care love Bridget x

Brilliant news Dai you and Janet must be on cloud 9!!! Heres to the next results being a big fat zero!!! love Bridgetx

Hi Everybody

Slim was changed to Oxycontin in hospital,when we asked why,told it was better because it worked longer up to 12 hours,I think they said it was opium based,morphine mst worked faster,but the body gets use to the drug and becomes less effective leading to higher doses.
As for Tramadol Slim was taken off them again by hospital as…[Read more]

Hi Bridget,

I have no idea of the equivalent values of each of the different type of pain-killers… perhaps Ellen could tell us. I assume the MacMillan nurse did and that you simply react better to mst. I was put onto 80mg mst am & pm (160 total) on initial diagnosis of secondary bone cancer, primary unknown, 3 years ago.

My GP went…[Read more]

Hi Gill,

Fingers crossed indeed.

I hope that all of Stephen's discomforts and pains disappear quickly… to be replaced by renewed energy and steady improvement.

Dai.

Hi Eve… and you too Eve… 🙂

I do understand the duality of our behaviours and our moods and I suppose I might be guilty of over-reacting… but I'd rather fall flat on my face… time and time again, rather than watch one of ours fall by the wayside because we didn't see the warning signs, :-/ 🙂

I wonder how many carer's have done…[Read more]

Hi Wendy
Sorry to here you are in hospital,Raging diarrhoea not nice,but you are in the right place,if it was a infection they would most probably not like to have admitted you! fluids is the big one with diarrhoea,and being an impatient any test will be done earlier.It must be very hard to cope with living on your own,
Hope your well soon love eve
