Hi everyone,
I have been newly diagnosed with Addison's disease. I also have a spinal disorder and take Avinza, which is a long-acting morphine, for chronic pain. I noticed on the insert for Avinza that it cautions against use on Addison's patients. Neither my endo nor my pain mgmt doc have mentioned this, and I intend to follow up with both of them. However, I was wondering if any of you folks have heard of or experienced any problems with having Addison's and taking morphine?
Any info at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! :)
