Hello fellow Member's,
I have just found this site, and wish to ask you guys out there
questions regarding some extra problems that I am experiencing and
growing more severe over the last 1.5 years or so. I have
unfortunately had three of these "Mylograms" in between 1976 and 1978
- and of course there is so much of that stuff in there that it is
still showing up in xrays at the bottom of my spine all these years
later. I have been on ever increasing doses of Morphine (MS Contin)
since 2000, and now I am on 400mg per day - (200mg x 2) which I have
been on for the last 18 months and now is no longer sufficient to stop
the pain. That said, I now find that I have over the last 6 months -
great difficulty in breathing, and in cramps in legs and almost
everywhere, including the chest which almost stops me being able to
breath! - specially when laying Down - which is impossible, as I feel
as if I am sufficationg. I find if am laying flat, that the cramps
are almost certain to happen - specially the ones in the chest that
are most painful, and to the point of sufficating despite the Morphine
dose that I am on. Also, my eyesite recenly is fading very fast, even
w2ith glasses it is difficult to read, wityh my eyes watering
profusely. As well, my toloration of heat is terrible, and I must have
the home airconditioned to at least 21' so as not swaet profurasly.
Of course I have all of the usual symptoms with other parts of the
body etc.. but these above are over and above them, and are increasing
with each week almost - are there other members out there with these
same symptoms? Also, is there a better pain killer then MS contin
100mg x 4 per 24 hours? Excluding Morphine Pumps??

Thanking You

Graham..
