Due to the many injuries I have suffered in my life, broken bones, gunshot wounds, {one of them 1 and 1/2 inch from my spine} one shattered my right elbow, one shattered my right shin bone and one broke my right thigh bone; as I have aged I have been in considerable pain and my Dr. decided to put me on morphine therapy six years ago.
Due to my drug use years ago I had built up quite a tolerance to opium of all kinds {that would include morphine} so the dose he built me up to is very high, I was taking three 30 milligrams of extended release every eight hours and four 30 milligrams of immediate release every six hours for a total of 210 milligrams of morphine daily, this dose would kill a clean person that has never had exposure to opium or any of its derivatives.
In May this year I decided I was tired of it all and wanted to cut back, if not quit entirely, so I informed my Dr. of my intentions and soon I was off to Hell land. As of today I am down to two extended release {60 milligrams} and two immediate release {60 milligrams} for a total of 120 down 90 milligrams in a little less than two months. This might seems slow to some of you folk with no experience with physical addictions of this size, but let me tell you, my poor old beat up 62 year old body feels like death warmed over, on a good day!
So my Joeuser friends some prayers for my continued success would be nice, good thoughts count, animal sacrifices, whatever.
