morphine for lupus

I am going to the Dr who implanted it, to see what my next option is after alot of research it seems i am in line for a pain pump.

I am on very strong pain meds for my lupus & fibro (morphine & demerol) which I take daily regardless if I'm in that level of pain or not..the morphine that is, the demerol is for break thru pain only (this was directed by both my family doctor as well as my rheumatologist). I suspect maybe this regimen is causing other serious health issues. The past 3 days I have had lupus flare type symptoms....

My sister's eye specialist has been unable to determine "why" she developed corneal melt. The typical causes have been ruled out, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. My online readings indicate corneal melt is often a symptom of the herpes virus - this may be relevant since my sister had several genital warts removed by a cancer specialist on a few occasions.

Also since I will only be on the morphine for 6-10 days the morphine would not cause withdrawals when I stopped if I were to go this route would it? Normally I know I'm strong enough to handle it, but after surgery I don't even want to try. But if it's a good way to transition and then stop altogether once the surgery is over and have no narcotics at all, that would be my goal.

I was recently perscribed morphine for my fibromyalgia and spurs on my spine. My question is does the morphine make you really nauseated and throw up. The last few days the side effects have slowed down, but I would still like to hear some suggestions from people in the forum.

s care but my dog is having bladder stones and he is very much unconfortable all night I have to take him downstairs to pee and all the vet has told me is to wait for the results of urine test to beggin treatment meanwhile he gave him Rimadyl for the Hip pain and also some Phenobarbitol for anxiety, but he still cries all the time, I am desperate !

s is positive, tests show negative for RA, but show extreme swelling in joints, arms, legs, feet, neck, Tests for Lupus have shown negative, Tests for fibro have shown negative The only drugs which seem to help all sympthoms including pain are steroids. Have tried Remicaid, Hummira, and Cimzia plus MEthotrexate, Asacol, MP6, Immuran, Hummira worked for 11 months, none of the other drugs have worked at all ffor suppressing sympthoms. Prednisone and Tordol work, but have horrible side affects.

If you already have taken a triptan, they will probably give you morphine. Ask for hydromorphone... it is more expensive, BUT most people find that it causes less nausea and that is very important if you already feel sick from a migraine.... you don't want to be puking EVEN MORE because of what they give you!!! If they ask you WHY you want hydromorphone instead of morphine, explain it is because you are already feeling nausea and you have a history of nausea with morphine.

When Oxy went back to not being generic, the script cost of $758 for a one month supply which made me ask my pain specialist for something that works better and that costs less. What a nightmare ... he switched me to morphine. I had been on morphine previously in the hospital after surgery and had no ill effects, so I thought that it might work for me. What a mistake! I had a reaction that almost cost me my life leaving me with pancreatitis.

My doctor has me on Fiorinal C1/2 for migraines, and put me on Morphine for severe migraines and severe pain. I have often had to go to the hospital for the migraines, and they give me a shot of what I thought was Morphine in the butt, and after about 1/2 hr it was gone. This last experience, the Morphine did not work, and I ended up taking a bunch of Fiorinal instead. When I spoke to my local hospital, they said they dont give Morphine for migraines but Demerol?

It was my doctors negligence she gave me medicine for a uti when I didn't had one. Also she gave me morphine that my babe couldn't tolerate and it make me have a misscariage.

I have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthrits and Fibromyalgia, so I have chronic pain. I take several medications, some of which are narcotic pain killers (Oxycotin, Percocet, Neurotin). I'm having shoulder surgery later this month and I'm a little concerned since I'm already taking all these meds - how will the dr. be able to manage this additional pain?

Hello:) I'm new on here, this is my first post :) I've had Systemic Lupus since 1999. I have the normal aches, pains, muscle & nerve problems, headaches etc.. from lupus & from the lupus I also have Trigeminal Neuralgia, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease & a few others. My husband & I were in an auto accident a little over 2 years ago, we were pretty much hit head on. My husband had a fractured sternum, broken hand, broken ribs & knee injuries.

t find anywhere to sit, so was standing for ages, maybe what brought this on. Generally run down too, have a cold. No question, just crying publically. Going to mix in more of my meds in a combination I haven't tried. Stupid. Read the WHO guidelines on palliative care, and if morphine is not working the thing to do is increase it. But I daren't, can't afford to run out. Another 20mg or so and I would be at peace. Or dead....

I am 23, and for the past 4 years I have been hospitalized about 10 times. My hips and back hurt every day, but usually only when I have another ailment, (especially fever) do I have go to the ER because the pain (mostly in my legs) is unbearable to the point where I cant move or stand. This happened the first time when I had a very bad virus and a fever around 104.5. My skin is also extremely sensitive as if I am bruised all over when this happens. This lasts until I am over my sickness.

Today I decided to wean off of morphine and try Ultram for a few weeks. My PM is willing to work with me, so that is a very good thing. She said hydrocodone isn't good because of the Tylenol, like you said, and I am sure she would be willing to help me try low-dose oxycontin or something else if this doesn't work. Thanks for the suggestion. It is probably wishful thinking that I will find the pain level has subsided by now.

He said I tested positive for morphine and negative for xanax. I take 1-2 ,25mg xanax a day-prescribed by him for anxiety. He referred me to pain management and that Dr prescribed me 15 mg Amrix and 50 mg Nucynta ER a day. He said the morphine is not from the Nucynta and that I must not be taking the Xanax or Nucynta that neither one of them showed up. I am not taking Morphine of any kind. I took a Xanax and a Nucynta 3 hours before this appointment.

I am a newly diagnosed lupus patient but have been told there is no lupus involvement. I received IV steroids for a couple of days for my lupus and I noticed a change in my eyesight. (better) I was put on 20mg of prednisone for 1 1/2 months and then I was put on 40mg prednisone for a week. I noticed that my eyesight was getting better. Personally I dont know if my eye problems have anything to do with the lupus.

People that have been on opiates for a long time can ingest a dose that would kill someone who has never used the drug. Then if they stop for a while, their tolerance goes down. Morphine is a terrible trip, with nausea and discomfort and constipation. Not something to desire for recreation.

I was one opiates for a very long time for illness and got hooked . Tihe only way for my was to get into the hospital and go through what is call detox . It took five days and I came out clean . He needs to want to do this for himself . Dont let the Drugs He is one hurt you. You might want to ask him if he would like you to go into the emergency room with him and get help. Even if you dont have insurance they have to help you. Tell the truth and get help . I will pray for you now!

I am going to go cold turkey on tuesday from 100mg morphine, been on them about 6 to 8 weeks. feeling sick when I dont take them and not able to take off time for detox and types for detox?

Morphine must be okay for the liver because that's what they used when I was in the ICU following my liver transplant. Be VERY careful with morphine. I was on it for 7 days and went wacky with hallucinations of all kinds.

With my 1st born I got an epidural and I was looking into different pain relief options for this pregnancy. Any of you got morphine instead of an epidural and how was your experience?

I pretty much thought it had something to do with the morphine. Any advice? He needs it for his back. My view is morphine is probably better than any other of the narcotic analgesics because it is the most natural and has been around for centuries. I certainly would not want him on oxycontin or fentanyl. Is Opana ER any better? Need advice from doctor preferably or someone who has an idea what they are talking about regarding this matter.

Hi yes it is normal behavior for Morphine, when you first start it your on top of the world then comes irritation and depression and even nightmares for some. How much is he on? How long? and dose he want to quit?

iam on anti depressents floxetine & amytriptlijne then tramadol & 80 mg of morphine a day do you think i would be ok to get a job
