Chronic Pain. Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia. Previously Messed Up Surgeries. Morphine Sulfate Sr Offers Relief. Advise?

i suffer from chronic severe pain all day everyday, I've been diagnosed and mis-diagnosed with lupus, lime disease, and recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia, my major life events were my epidural in which the doctor messed up twice on, a major car accident which i was ejected from the car almost killed landed on my head and broke my nose, then had the surgery for my nose, ever since these events i suffered daily from pain, spent all my time in & out of the emergency room & started eating motrin and alleve like m&ms so my doctor freaked and started me on oxycodone 5mg 3x daily then a 2yrs he put me on endocet 10mg 3x daily over time the pills started wearing off very quickly, so yesterday he started me on morphine sulfate 15mg slow release 2x daily, i started my first dose at 4pm yesterday with no relief, didnt sleep anything at all last nite becuase of the pain, took my 2nd dose around 4am again with no relief at all i kept my husband up all night crying in pain i felt so bad, by the time it started getting time for my 3rd dose i called my doctor he wasnt in so they scheduled me an appt for tom, i remembered that i had 4 endocet 10mg pills left from my last script, so when it was time to take my 3rd dose i took it with a morphine sulfate sr 15mg, after 30mins i finally started feeling some relief its been 4 hours and i feel much better, what do i tell me doctor when i go back to see him?

Hi, You had a severe head injury, and got injured the nose and got repaired. suffering with severe pains, no complete relief.
As you describe it appears to be the psychological factor causing pains, as they are not directing to any system.
I advise you to consult a psychiatrist, and also avoid tubers, like potato,tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Practice yoga, meditation , reading books of your interest, and hearing music. Thank you.
