Have Chronic Pain, RA, Psoriatic Arthritis , Fibromyalgia, Have Morphine 30mg. Is This Dose Too Strong For Me?
Hi I have chronic pain . RA, psoriatic arthritis , fibromyalgia and a lot of other health issues. I have morphine 30mg. They are small round purple tablets. Is this dose too strong for me? I weigh around 90lbs but I take a lot of pain meds like percocets. I need at least 10mg to feel any relief. My point is I don t weigh a lot but because of the many years of pain I need higher doses of pain med. I would like to know if 30mg of morphine is too strong

Hi, of course you have got so many arthritic problems like R.A., psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia etc. and you are using medicines ,you are thinking that the dose is very high, but need them in that dose.
To minimise the dose i advise my patients to take injection of neurotropic vitamins for 10 consecutive days, and then one injection every week. and ask them to taper the dose of pain medicines. Thank you.
