yes i have been to pain clinics and specialists for years /// i have 
been on tylox for years.... i usually take about one third of a capsule 
three times a day...  this usually works but when i have an attack 
the pain in my head is so intense that i go to the hospital for about 
2 to 3 days on morphine..  but i dont have the money to go all the 
time.. so some times i live in great pain and do not sleep for 5 days 
which causes by heart to have heavy chest pains.. my doctor says he 
is afraid to give me more than 1 tylox a day because he will lose 
his license.  I just do not know how much more pain my body will take. 
and i cant just keep adding up the bills by going into the hospitol 
once a week for a shot of morphine ...  also as you said the morphine 
is much cleaner and does not have all the muscle tension that the 
other drugs give which increases the pain down my spine to the point 
where i can not walk... there is more but i do not know how much of 
this you are interested in hearing... it seems to me that a doctor 
would not be concerned about addiction when i am all ready taking 
so much that does not work... and if i do not get relaxed enough out 
of pain then my heart will go.... this is confusing and very intense 
to go thru when know one seems to understand the intense pain.   thanks 
for your reply!
