I've contacted my MP about the reforms. Has anyone else done this?

You have also mentioned your self medication of morphine sulphate on the CAG forum - very like our old Andy.

Whilst not wanting to get into a debate on this thread regarding the slanting match, what's so special about self medicating Morphine? I have for two years been doing it, both the 12 hour slow release and the oral version, now going for a third via a little pump. For anyone been on it for a while you end up used to it sadly and I personally have few "hits" or side effects.

I think it's time the mods locked this thread now as it has got so out of hand and away from the OP

You should talk to the doctor before taking tramadol and morphine together.

I strongly second this.

I have taken both tramadol and oramorph, but since the strength of tramadol was increased have been advised not to take the oramorph any longer. I also take a mix of other drugs so wouldn't want to mess with them, although it can be tempting.

I would hate to think, based on some comments you've read, that you suggest to your husband it may be ok to mix the two, when it actually may not be ok.

Sorry to hear your husband was in a lot of pain. I know how that feels so sympathise with him. Could he go back to GP and ask for a medication review?

A referral to pain management clinic might help if your OH is struggling to manage his pain.

Sh, I emailed my MP but he's about as useful as a chocolate tea pot.

And as for kilties oh mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Im on the same patches as you, tramadol and oramorph but they are sanctioned by my pain specialist, you will find that you need higher doses when you have been on them for many years.

We have all recomended davsidipp's husband talk to his GP/pain management doctor but we were also trying to help her, when your partner/husband/wife/parent is in pain its not nice for the rest of the family, I know Ive been their as both the one in pain and the one with the husband in pain.

I have talked to our MP about the changes sh, he makes all the supportive noises but Im not so sure of his mettle underneath.
