I am so happy to hear from someone else who has this problem. Misery loves company, as much as I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Today was another bad one, or tonight actually. A storm came in too (coincidentally) ??

Morphine is the only thing that both relieves much of the pain and doesn't push me over the edge or doubled over the toilet as you said. But it is a very fine line, and the short acting has me in constant stages of withdrawal, especially at night.

I am horrified that the nurse gave you the fentanyl against your wishes and warnings on your file. I would be going back to the top of the hospital over that one. She could have killed you under different circumstances.

Please keep in touch. Is there any relief in sight for you?
