Experiences with

Codimal

Hello I have only posted briefly before but read most of the posts. I am really in complete despair with regard to my 75 year old husband and the worsening of his RLS symptoms which are now intolerable. The situation is that he has had worsening RLS for about 5 years. Initially he found relief

The title is a bit dramatic but, following up on my last post I put my big girl pants on ( with difficulty because my hands and wrists are quite sore and not working right) and had an appointment with the mental health nurse. She was lovely but said if I'm in pain we need to address that rather than

Hello, I am not sure if I have posted here before. I have RA (diagnosed on the back of Polymyalgia Rheumatica) in 2022. I am still taking steroids (9mg per day) even though my inflammation levels have reduced, it takes a long time to come off them. I have been on Methotrexate for 5+ years and changed

I have recently started taking Co Codamol. I have since been told that I have high blood pressure, which is new to me & I have noticed my cheeks feel as if they are on fire. Could the Co Codamol cause this? Has anyone else had similar.

I am feeling at a bit confused, new to this adventure and feeling lost. Have been taking Hydroxychloroquine since early May. Not sure if it has helped or not. I know it can take a while, not been pain free but for a while during summer felt a bit more mobile, more active. GP px'd co-codamol

Thankyou for your answers I have mobility issues with my back RA drugs don't work but co codamol helps maybe it relaxes muscles I take sulfasalazine for my RA but my back is driving me mad

Can you take these two meds together,co codamol works for me but they say you can't use it with sulfasalazine anybody on here used it thankyou

Hi, I have been taking co-codamol for about a year, as needed, for the pain I get with gallstones. But I have found that it reallly helps my fibromyalgia pain, especially with sleeping, which I find very difficult due to pain. So far I have mostly resisted taking it unless I have bad gallstone pain

I am about to begin taking Buprenorphine prescribed by my doctor. I have another condition for which I take Co-codamol 30/500 at night for the pain. My GP didn't say not to continue taking this but I have read that they shouldn't be taken together. Does anybody have information about this? Is there anybody

I posted a few weeks ago about a new kind of pain, which went from groin to the top of my thigh and also from top of buttock downwards, but not to the knee so I knew it wasn't sciatica. It did ease for a bit and I managed to shoot a two day music festival - the organisers were fantastic, and provided

so…I was diagnosed with palindromic onset RA in 2021. From what I can gather that means it goes as quick as it flares and when I have a flare it bounces round different joints. I posted on here in August about a bad flare and was looking forward to a steroid injection. Injection was not the holy grail

Happy Tuesday fellow supporters. Wondering if anyone had side effects from Buscopan? I was prescribed last Thursday and took it that day and Friday and started to feel a bit off. Woke up Saturday with a blinding headache like I’d never had before. I tried my migraine medication but that didn’t touch

Hello again. I’ve taken my last Ropinirole after warning off just 1 mg. Augmentation has gone in the day but OMG my legs are so bad in the night. Dr gave me 15mg codeine, I took 2 at 12.45am. Think I slept for 90 minutes. Had to take 2 co-codamol at 5am but never helped. I’ve stated taking ferrous fumarate

Hi everyone, I haven’t been around in a long while because I’ve been unwell and dealing with family matters. I always feel guilty popping back in after a long while but I’ve not been able to maintain any sort of consistency the last several months. Up until I started HRT I was alright with what I

I started my periods when I was 13 years old. I have suffered with painful periods for as long as I remember. I started to realise there was a problem when I was in pain throughout the whole of my cycle not just when I was on my period. This would cause me to cry and be in a lot of pain, but also bleed

HI There I am 43 and back in Early July I had been really suffering with abdo, hip & back pain. It all ended with me collapsing in my GP Office, then into A&E on Morphine, Ibruprofen, IV Antibiotics and a week admitted to a ward. Then I had basically 4 weeks signed off work due to pain. Since then

I have an appointment tomorrow evening. I am going armed with printouts about iron and RLS, medications list. Also going to request change off Sertraline to Trazadone. I took co-codamol last night and squirmed for a couple hours but actually got over 6 hours sleep and slept in the same bed as my husband

I everyone I've had pulsatile tinnitus on and off 2 months ago started getting headaches really bad especially aching in lower back skull by spine went for physio told were tension headaches been to A&E said No red flags so gave me some co codamol seem to do the trick but not ideal as side effects are

Hi Guys, I have been taking this statin for almost 4 weeks and just wondered if anyone else who has PMR takes this. At first when taking I felt a bit queasy, so started to take it after evening dinner on its own. This did help but I have developed other side affects - I feel extremely tired all day

Hi I am about to start taking the above. I already take Bisoprolol for AF and also methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis. I'm always concerned about side effects when I take any new drug. If there is someone out there taking the same combo or anything similar. I'd like to know if they've had any problems
