Hi and welcome.
Has your husband tried other medications for the neuopathy before? Maybe there are some other non-opiod options. Or maybe taking different forms of morphine mayeb tablets would suit him better than the patches. Is his GP supportive?
Hope that things start to improve for you both

Morphine? Oof.
Best thing I can suggest is this:

I also know a chap who's recently been put onto a low dose of amitriptylene (see article) for his neuropathy and the pain has more or less stopped. Might depend on the individual case of course.
But longer term the best thing that can be done with respect to neuropathy is to get blood glucose under control (ideally get the HbA1c down to under 6).

Hi
Welcome to the forum.
Regarding the sickness related to Morphine patches, Is is possible for your doctor to prescribe a medication similar to Stemityl .....I'm pretty certain they still available..if not under a different name...they are brilliant for nausea, vomitting and dizziness....
Hope this helps

Hi, I hope hubby is better. It can't be much fun for either of you. I'd talk to the doctor. Make sure hubby has plenty of fluids (especially as it has been so warm recently) and if possible encorage him to eat a little.
