I haven't posted here in a few years so I'm a little vague on your current situation. Can I ask what your experiences of opiates are, if any? I ask because the description you give of your illness resonates with my own like no other I have read here - and I first started posting back in '99! Like yourself, I have trialled 60, maybe 70 'meds', with only sporadic and muted success. However, codeine excepted, every opiate I have ever tried has brought about a swift and tolerable improvement. My problem is that here in the UK the more potent opiates - which I believe might bring about something resembling full remission - are not available. Anyway, feel free to interrogate me if you think it could be of any help :)
Best wishes,
J
