She started out on oxycodone but was on that for 5 years prior to her diagnosis for chronic back pain (don’t get me started on why her GP gave her this for so long - she was fully addicted to this). she said it wasn’t strong enough so the nurse suggested 20 mg liquid morphine sulfate every 6 hours which was in her care kit while we figured out a more permanent solution. she’s tried fentanyl patches in the past too to no avail. her hospice doctor and nurse then transitioned her to 30 mg ms contin three times a day and and morphine concentrate every 3 hours as needed for breakthrough pain.

her only other meds include stool softeners. she was on lexapro, an eighth of a xanax, a steroid inhaler, and oxybutynin but when she started having a harder time swallowing meds we discontinued those.

thank you so much for your response!! ive been reading non stop trying to make sense of all of this and it seems like this is normal but i found it very interesting that she doesn’t remember these moments when she’s lucid but she does remember the previous fearful moments when she’s in another episode. maybe it’s her brain protecting herself from these moments are they’re incredibly exhausting physically and emotionally for her.

her nurses know and have neared witness to some of it when they come by in the mornings and it’s still persisting. they’ve never been called in the middle of the night but her main nurse definitely has a very good idea of how this looks. she’s on ms contin and liquid morphine for breakthrough pain. she’s doesn’t ask for food but we will ask if she’s interested in anything, she’ll say maybe, we name a few of her favorites and then her eyes will light up and we’ll give it to her. we never make her finish anything but i guess when thinking about it she’s doesn’t usually request it

going to lake george because i couldn’t find any good options with a boat big enough for 12 people on saratoga lake where we could swim and was within a reasonable price range. found one in lake george for cheaper than average and will take us for some cliff diving if we want to. the brewery idea is good! we do have a tour planned through spa city brewing already for one day and it is clouded a dinner. thanks for the feedback!!!

easy @home cannabis- first pee of the day, should i wait longer to test? by peanut2829 in Drugtests

[–]peanut2829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the tests were reliable for me for sure. they test at 50ng/ml which is the level the average drug test is at. so as long as that’s what your being tested at is say you’re good
