Has anyone here dealt with drug dependency? I have....a few times. The first time I didn't relalize it. I had been taking Vicodin for migraines and then (unknown at the time) nerve and muscle pain for over 7years and developed an ulcer, so of course my dr discontinued the medication. I developed insomnia

Re is it a flare and alendronic acid.
Had consult with GP and X Ray shows fracture in vertebra, not compression. Pain when he felt the vertebra was minimal compared to when he last examined there. In view of fact that it is six weeks since injury was sustained he thinks this is normal. Pain there is now only a concern when I get out of bed

Nervous about taking Alendronic acid
Hi, I'm new! I am wondering whether everyone is taking Alendronic acid with their Pred? I was diagnosed with GCA six weeks ago...no eye problems so started on 40mg Pred and reduced last week to 30mg, but I have yet to take my first dose of Alendronic acid. I don't know why but I feel really nervous about

So here's my story in brief: I'm 34 and had painful heavy periods for over 15 years, the last 5 years I've suffered with large clots during periods which meant I couldn't leave the house for a couple of days during my period as leakage was a big problem - as well as the pain. Saw my GP and she gave

Period pain with no period
Hi I'm almost 51 and on the mini pill. I have agonising period pain -like cramps. My GPS prescribed Mefenamic Acid last year but it's not helping. I have hot flushes but no idea if I should stop the pill to see if it helps the pain and struggling to get a GP appointment. Had a scan last year which

Waiting for my second lap and feeling like I'm going slightly mad?
Hi everyone, Long time no speak! The last I posted I was talking about my failed laparoscopy I think. Just to reiterate - I'm not diagnosed as of yet, but I have suspected endo. So I basically just wanted to rant and see what you guys think of what my new gynae consultant said to me. He said that my

Apple Cider Vinegar and Magnesium
I think have seen posts here about using ACV for acid reflux. I currently take Omeprazole but need to stop it for 2 weeks prior to an endoscopy but worried that the acid reflux will be bad. Any advice would be welcomed. I have also seen posts about using magnesium as a sleep aid and as I suffer terribly

The former contains hydroxocobalamin Chloride 1000 microgram/ml and the latter Hydroxocobalamin Acetate 1mg/ml. On the information

Topiramate anyone???
Hello everyone, I saw my GP the other day. We discussed my migraines which are getting worse in frequency and severity. I am stopping my gabapentin thank goodness. She has started me on topiramate, 25 mg once a day for a day increasing to twice a day from week 2. Anyone had any success in it reducing

Bigjess question and hopes
Hi there. I'm new to blogs. This is my first so please bare with any ignorance. I was researching berberine's effects on the liver and came across this site. It looked like an Indian version. I don't know which this is. My question is this; does berberine damage the liver or does anyone know of any other
