Hi everyone I'm really having a rough time and looking for a little expertise if any one has, losing faith with gp"s at my surgery. At the moment I'm taking 200 mg of slow release morphine a day, 2700 gabapentin and 60 mg duloxatine for severe elbow arthritis , ulner nerve damage to my right arm and depression, these conditions have changed my life as before I was fit and active, loved the gym etc, the nerve problem has altered the feeling in my right hand and it's at its least very uncomfortable and at worst almost agony, about 8 or 9 weeks ago I decided to taper my morphine down from 400mg to a lower dose to see if that would help with my tiredness, well I'm down to half that now and I'm much much worse, pain is worse, depression worse and some days I'm so fatigued I can't move off the bed, and when I'm on the bed I can't even move to get more comfortable,my normal bloods are good, I'm awaiting a more advanced test results, could this be down to dropping meds, stress , depression , I'm losing hope 👎
