'Hi Everyone my name is Bigfella76

BigFella76

I have been suffering for years, I have constant pain that varies but is always much worse at night, I have tried varies medication including Fentanyl and Morphine. One of my biggest obstacles has been the stigmatisation that surrounds any one including myself with pain. early this year I couldn't take anymore and was at the point of no return. I know and felt that when I telephoned for help Its as if they didn't want to know and in some cases I know I was being laughed at. I got into such a state my wife took over.
