Buprenorphine finished. What alternative opiates are available?
After four weeks of insomnia and continued PLMs on 15 mgc patches, I shall abandon the treatment. I’d be grateful for advice on a.) potential withdrawal issues, and b.) alternative opiates.

Well tomorrow morning I will finally know whether I had a stent fitted during my last angiography at the beginning of September last year. If I haven't it's going to be a bit of a dilemma as to whether to go for a stent or not as I have been relatively angina free (and when I have had its been relatively

Lessons from last Dr. appt: drug testing for kratom and a Suboxone issue
Hi, All. I went to a new doctor last week and she did a blood test which gave immediate results. Posters have mentioned being worried about kratom and drug testing…but she said there is no test for kratom...just wanted to pass that along. The Delta 8 gummies showed up, as did Suboxone. I learned another

Referral for Angiogram
After a recent telephone conversation with a cardiologist I am being referred for an angiogram (with angioplasty if required). Over the last two years have begun to find hills a little harder. Looking for good advice and positive comments on how I can prepare myself prior to the procedure for good outcomes

Vaginal bleeding following bowel movement.
I have had a pessary ring in place, successfully for about 10 years. I am using vaginal oestrogen crem. Recently had a slightly difficult bowel movement bowel movement, after which I experienced slight vaginal bleeding. I will make an appointment with my GP, but wondered if anyone else had experienced

Stopping Statins

Burning Mouth Syndrome
I haven't been on here for a while so, apologies. I have had pneumonia twice in the past 8 weeks & have been left with a terrible burning pain in my mouth. Has anyone ever had this? If so how do you treat it. Dr say there is no cure for it, it is driving me insane. Jackie

First post. LVT recovery and exercise
Hi all, been reading posts for the last few weeks and now plucking up courage to post myself. I had a HA on Xmas day while half way on a 30 mile ride. Hindsight says I shouldn’t have ridden home but I did, silly boy! Troponin of 4K+ suggests a bad one and ended up with one stent and, 2 weeks later,
