I have found Morophine,Dilaudid,and Fentyl all through the IV to be extremely helpful. But they are all narcotic's,and I cannot find a doctor to perscribe any of these for me as of yet. But they made a huge difference for me. Good luck,and I hope you have a doc who is much more understanding then any of mine. Take care.
