Morning all,

I am currently on the waiting list to have a laparoscopy for severe endometriosis but its looking like im going to waiting at least another 3-4 months.

Due to the amount of codeine im taking my Dr has put me onto slow release 10mg morphine tablets, ive got the tablets but I just terrified to take them.

Im at my wits end with the pain but I'm also getting really bad nausea so I'm worried that the morphine will just increase that. Im also scared as well because I know that once I've been taking the morphine for a certain amount of time it will be hard to come off and I will get withdrawal symptoms.

I've got quite bad emetaphobia and I'm just terrified that because these tablets last 12 hours il be stuck feeling sick for that whole time.

Is anyone else on this? What's you experience? Will I still be able to work and live my life or will I be a Zombie?
