Thank you for your kind support, Sabby.
While I was away sorting out mums business I ran out of pills. I was only expecting to stay away for 2 weeks but with the post mortem and family coming from abroad everything was delayed by 2 extra weeks. I went to see a local Dr to get extra medication and told him what I was on for Fibro pain. I take 80mg slow release, Oxy twice a day, and have 20mg tabs to top it up if needed.

He told me I was on the same medication he prescribes for Cancer patients in their last stages!! I was shocked by this as my own GP was happy for me to be on this amount, and did not mention any issues with it. This new Dr also suggested I try Mirtazipine for the pain and slowly wean myself off all the Oxy's.

To come off Oxy, cold turkey would be dangerous and make me very ill in the process. I have a big move on the horizon and a new lifestyle in front of me so I'll wait a few months before doing anything drastic.

Thanks for your support. x
