Please let me how morphine worked for you. Need advice
J have Erythromelalgia- Man on Fire Syndrome. I have been taking 250 mgs of Tramadol for more than 10 years now without numb benefit.
Can you please let me know how morphine works for you and what dose you take and how much you had to beg your doctor to prescribe it? Thank you so much for your advice!

I have been given Morphine after surgeries and recently in ER for unspecified pain. I warned the ER Dr that it gives me hallucinations, but he went ahead anyway. I find the Morphine minimal in resolving the pain and have to decide to let go of all outcomes and accept that I will not be reliable or functional until the morphine wears off. Then I can just sit back and enjoy the hallucinations like a good movie. My hallucinations last long after the doses are given, up to 3 weeks. Since these were hospital IV administered, I have no idea of the dose. I just know that I do not want to take it long term.

I was sent home from a surgery with morphine & had hallucinations-transparent giant scorpions running up & down the corner of my toom. It was frightening but I kept telling myself it wasn't real. It then changed to a cute furry squirrel inside my roe-sticking his head out of the neckline & looking up at me....
that was enough...now I have it in my chart not to prescribe it again!
The only thing that works for me is Percocet. When there was the whole opioid crisis, I had to use the oxycodone plus Tylenol, which is what Percocet is. Nothing else works for pain management for me. They have tried everything on me. When I’m in the hospital, they use the Percocet plus the Demerol for surgery. How might you get it? The word I always use is “suffering“ and I say I am suffering you can’t let me suffer. What are you going to do about it?
