    Hi @wendywoo22

    A very very big welcome !!!!!!

    It's great to meet you !!!!!! 

    I was taken off my morphine patches & put I have been given stronger ones where I now take two per wk.

    These still make no difference !!!!!

    I have been told that "Deep Brain Stimulation" is my only chance off meaningfull  "Pain Relif" 

    Please please let me know if there is any help I can help you with ????????
