Is he seeing a pain managment specialist?

BuTrans are the "starting" patches but still major, major pain relief and if it isnt working he might need the dosage incresing or to add an oral painkiller prn into the mix, hopefully his doctor can help him soon.

husband was under pain clinic for spine injections and later on for his arm ,been offered physio but they cannot do anything until he has the op on arm so painkillers are the only option at the moment my family cannot wait till he has the op allthough it might not work their must be some light at the end of the tunnel.as for the tramadol they make my husband light headed and feeling sick but take some of the pain away bit of a no win situation.many thanks on peoples take on the drugs.

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.

Another who thinks that complaining to an MP will change the inevitable. So sad!

This is coming from the man who refuses to accept an award of benefits and is appealing for a higher rate because he doesn't think he's capable of seeking any work at all.

Pot, kettle and black spring to mind.

Err no, I know, and my evidence backs that up, that I am entitled to be in the Support Group. I will accept nothing less and if that means the loss of my benefits, so be it.
My arguments have never been about money, we can get by without the ESA work group addition - for goodness sake it's only £25pw!!!
It's about the law being applied properly, correctly and without fear or favour.
Thank goodness I am not like most on here - scratching around trying to get an increase in income from any source for any reason - just because it's extra money. What a materialistic bunch you are!

These changes really do affect me. I don't know why it's sad that I'm getting my MP to help? After all, these changes will affect me a lot.

What determined outlook? I will never be able to legally drive, I struggle to read, (can only read on a good day and that was with prisms in, too) I am in constant pain and have issues controlling my body temperature.

So, tell me how on earth I can be positive about being in constant pain (and randomly going into spasm without warning) and not being able to see that well? Even corrected, I can't read more than the third line.

Have you actually re-read your posting? The whole thing is based on negativity. Not one positive word/phrase or comment is made.
Do you actually live your life believing that there is no positive aspect to it?

Changes are coming - and you will find that only the strong will survive them. No doubt you will fall in a heap on the floor crying 'whoa is me and my negative thoughts - life is so cruel and hard!'

It's easy enough for you to accuse us of being materialistic, it's easy for you to access aids, you said yourself that you have a fall alarm that you don't even need. I need to find £400 to get one and then pay £30 a month plus line rental (don't have a house phone, i've got mobile broadband and internet) to use the service. £95 for a keysafe as well to access the service.

How sad!! As if the MP is likely to start asking questions in the house because of your complaint.

You would have a far richer life if you concentrated on being positive with your life as it is now than 'complaining' about the changes that are coming - not may come!

You do come over as being rather bitter about your lot instead of embracing it with a determined outlook.

When labour were in power and had plans to change the law regarding home education, there was a huge effort by hundreds of home educators to try to prevent the law changes.

Lots of us contacted our MPs and yes, questions were asked in the house.

Due to our efforts - including contacting MPs, the laws were not changed.

Had there not been such an effort, things could be very different with regards our right to HE.

I haven't contacted my MP on this matter, but if people feel strongly enough, and enough people follow a plan of action, things could be very different.

If a person doesn't agree with something, they have every right to contact their MP. I'm glad I did!

I am often in constant pain, but, for majority of time, try to have a positive outlook.

It can be done.

If you are always in severe pain, you need to go back to your GP and ask for a medication review, because you do not need to be in constant pain every day.

I'm not sure why you can't get the fall alarm, Glaswejen, but have you approached the OT at your local council?

I was assessed as needing a fall alarm back in August, which the OT arranged for me.
