I am on morphine, sulfasalazine and rinvoq for my AS. And other pills for various other things. I had to go to pain management for the morphine to be added. No side effects besides constipation. Works somewhat well. Can sure tell if I take my meds late though.

Thank you guys for your answers, it seems that not many people are on morphine for their pain, would it be the opiate crisis that the states find themselves in? 🤔
I've been on morphine for a couple of years now it seems that UK doctors don't have any issues about prescribing morphine.

There are many issues here and updated physician regulations due to the opioid crisis here. What is sad, is doctors are very reluctant to give pain medications unless absolutely needed and even then, sometimes insurance will only pay for one weeks worth. That is what my insurance does with Tramadol.
