@bilt4pain You got de boat, man! That's great. You may find that dilaudid will work better than morphine since it is about five times as strong as morphine. I would love to tell the Doc to push my pump from its current 2.3 mg/day up to 4. That's what they shot into me for the trial. Dropped my pain down to about a two. Chugging along, getting 15% increases every two to three weeks is so very slow. The wait in between is so very painful.
Have a blessed Christmas!

@heisenberg34 Hold the phone. You got 4mgs. Of Dilaudid for your trial?! That’s massive. Did you dry out for 6 weeks before the trial? I did, cold turkey, it was the exact hell as sung by John Lennon. I got 250mcg. Of morphine. 25% of 1 mg. I was totally pain free for 5 hours. An hour after injection, I was up and dancing and singing in the hallway with my cane, like gene Kelly singing in the rain. I definitely need to switch.
I wish you a blessed Christmas and a new year with pain managed effectively! Godspeed 🙏🏼
