Hi Bren
good on you girl,but really co codamol isnt much of a pain killer for your pain levels,and splitting them up to take plain codeine may not be a brilliant idea as codeine causes a multitude of problems on its own ,including constipation,dry mouth and drowsiness.I still beleive you should be going for a long acting patch,which may cause minor problems for the first day or so,but if it works is so worth it.

As for macmillan..you know how great i think they are so ;isten to what they say.


good luck for tomorrow

love liz
