I, too, had a lot of pain from the PEG tube. I guess we are the only two. I, too, have some bizarre things happen with morphine. You can tell the doctors you don't want morphine and they can find something else. The nice thing about the patch is that the loopiness from the morphine does not happen. It keeps the pain in check, is time released and you bypass the bizarro world. Is it a winner or what??
