I've got some oramorph (liquid morphine) left over from when I had surgery a few months ago. I am on day 6 of the worse flu of my life, hellish aches and pains all over my body, can to swallow water without agony in my throat, sweating / shivering, splitting headache, fatigue, you name it. I've never ever felt so bad. DH came home from work to me crying in a heap saying I can't cope anymore, the pain is so bad I'm barely able to sip water. He suggested the oramorph on top of the paracetamol and ibuprofen (as the latter is not touching the surface at all). Anyway i reluctantly agreed to take the oramorph and my GOD the improvement!! I've gone from kill me now this pain is unbearable to I can sit up in bed and sip water without sheer agony in my throat and body. The violent coughing which was causing me to wretch and cry from pain in my chest and throat has also stopped since I took the oramorph.
I know this can't be a long term solution but is it ok to use this medication for now if it helps??
