Changing meds
I've been on Tramadol for almost a year now but am beginning to augment. I have been referred to a neurologist but don't expect an appointment until some time next year. In the meantime my GP is putting me on codeine. Does anyone have any advice about changing from Tramadol to codeine? The GP said

Buprenorphine
Hello, have many UK people found it easy or hard to get Buprenorphine px by GP to control pain from RLS? I have been withdrawing from Pramepexole and using only codeine however it is now not effective in controlling my pain. I have a GP appointment in a few days and was going to ask for Buprenorphine

IBS-D non medicated on medicine
I’m experiencing a strange occurrence when I’m medicated also when I’m not medicated. If I take co-codamol my symptoms stops. If I don’t codeine I’ll get severe diarrhea with insomnia and with chronic rectal burning. Unfortunately, my healthcare provider have decide to take me off this medication

Pregabalin
Can one add gabapentin to pregabalin or is it better to stick to one. Also what is the highest dose of pregabalin. Is it 600mgs or is that too much. I'm now on 3000 mgs gabapentin and I'm still waking up with my leg. I'm going to change to pregabalin to see if it helps. If it doesn't help I will lessen

I have stage 4 Endo which has caused irreversible damage to my insides (largely due to it taking 15 years to diagnose) I’ve had to really battle and even get my MP involved to be allowed some stronger pain relief for flare ups. I have tramadol (for mild flares) and codeine and naproxen for daily pain

insomnia
I have been off pramipexole for 2 weeks now but insomnia is terrible. I was prescribed lorazepam to help me sleep. It made my restless leg worse. So many meds aggravate it. Has codeine helped anyone. Tramadol helped me relax, but never a good sleep. Running out of things to try. And getting desperate

Ablation feedback from yesterday
Hi allI finally went through with it! Firstly, I couldn't have the usual pain relief as I am sensitive to codeine, tramadol and morphine! Anti sickness gave me an anaphylactic shock when I was 17 so they trod carefully with that one! Not sure what I had but told I had received a fair bit of sedation,

I'd like peoples experiences of gabapentin please
5 spinal fractures, a cyst on the lower spine and blood cancer. Hospital asked my GP to discuss stronger pain relief. He changed my pain patches to fentanyl 12 And also sent gabapentin 100 there was no patient information leaflet in the gabapentin, just a label on the box saying to take 1 the first day

Gastro oesophageal reflux
I’ve had RLS for decades, and have been taking codeine 30mg for a few years which I think helps - not sure if it’s just a placebo effect. However, I also have reflux for which I was taking Omeprazole 10mg on which I was symptom-free. Several months ago I discovered that Omeprazole worsens RLS, so I stopped

Gabapentin
I've suffered with rls for over 30 years which has gradually got worse and worse. I'm now 74. After taking dopamine agonists for years, then tramadol, codeine and trying Kratom nothing was working and my doctor and neurologist would and could not prescribe anything else. In the past I had tried Pregabalin

Horrific mornings
Just a rant really in case anyone has similar experience. Every morning, without fail, is a nightmare. Regardless of the previous day and how I feel when I go to bed I wake with pain from nasty to severe to excruciating and need to expel the alien before I can think off getting out, by which time however

Vasospastic angina pain relief
Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has been prescribed decent pain relief to take at home instead of having to call an ambulance? I’ve been admitted 5 times in the last 14 months with severe pain due to VSA which the GTN didn’t touch. Mine can last almost all day and go on for several days at a time

Rheumatology second opinion appointment
Hello everyone, so my husband had his second opinion with another NHS rheumatologist yesterday (same hospital), and I'd really appreciate people's thoughts on some of the things he said, as follows: 1) The pain, stiffness, heat and swelling across my husband's knuckles and proximal joints (both hands
