Hi, I’m just wondering whether anyone could help me in some advice with morphine.my dad started taking liquid morphine and tablets about a 2weeks ago now and has been in bed for the last 7 days sleeping constantly and has gone from being able to get up and sit downstairs,chat on the phone and walk about the house to now having no energy to even speak. His appetite has completely gone and has had nothing to eat for a week too. Has anyone else experienced this as it seems too much a coincidence to be anything else x
Hi I don't know if it's the same buy husband is on end stage liver cancer and the morphine he was on was knocking him out when I told the doctor she said she would change it to s different morphine plus a patch because it should be knocking him out ! Don't know if this helps take care X
Thank you,I think you are right! We will hopefully get a response from a dr tomorrow who I’m hoping will lower his dose. I appreciate you getting back to me x
It's not always case of lowering dose there is different types of morphine and it's finding the one that suits X hope it works out for you X X take care X
