Hello, everyone. My mom's discomfort level has recently increased rapidly and drastically. We are reaching the very end of this battle and comfort is priority above all else. Hospice has provided liquid morphine drops that they say help her breathing (maybe by making her more calm?) and also prescribed morphine pills... none of this for pain, mostly just for comfort.
She has never been able to handle hard drugs like this. She tried the morphine drops recently and felt nauseas for more than 24 hours after taking it. She doesn't even want to try the pills.
I hate to see her so upset and uncomfortable. I want to relieve as much as I can. Any suggestions welcome... drugs, natural, etc. Please note that she takes all meds by feeding tube. She hasn't "eaten" in 3 days (she was on a soft diet, but that has proven difficult recently and she also feels sick immediately after eating even a tiny bit). She has xanax, but right now only takes it at night to help her sleep.
Thanks in advance
