how are you? thank you for responding. i have talked to my doctors.about all my meds. but they all say i need them especially the morphine for my pain. i take 30mg extended release twice a day and  two 15mg immediate release every 2 to3 hrs.plus flexiril 20mg twice a day (muscle relaxer).and i'm still in pain.what i hate is the cyclosporine 500mg,and humira 40mg,thats for my psoriasis of my skin there side effects are the worst it effects my wbc which is .01%.i can't get sick.funny! they pulled out all my teeth so i won't get an infection.i have a warthins tumoron left side.now i found i have another tumor in front of my throat ,they done a biopsy but i have to do it again cause they need to use a ultrasound which i think he should have done in first place. what is your situation Sir_Osis? i'm not giving up. may god bless you and keep you going

Hey JR, Well, I cant begin to pretend I know the complexities of what your going through. To a degree - yes. Pain meds can be a godsend for those in agony...is there any way to get at a root cause of the pain and get a lower dose of morphine? - Just a thought...

Is there some root cause for all your afflictions??? It seems that in this world, one problem arises, a pill is prescribed, and then 2 other side effect problems crop up, two more pills get prescribed, then 6 more side effect problems crop up. I'm generalizing here, and many meds save our hides - Ask your docs if they can suggest any course of action for you to get healthier and maybe shed some meds - and read a lot. Maybe theres some dietary change that could help over the course of time...

Hang in there though - anddont give up - I do know miracles happen .
