Hi All Just wanted to post an update following all of the helpful comments: Contacted pain clinic about referral to neurology- that has been actioned but will take time. GP has issued blood tests to check ferritin - last reading was 117 in March. I have increased Pregabalin to 100mg with iron supplement

Pain relief during Period
I have daily pain throughout any stage of my cycle all day everyday. I recently started taking codeine and amitriptyline when it got to point I couldn't cope anymore. This was about 3 weeks ago. It doesnt remove the pain its still bad but takes a small edge off sometimes and I figure I needed to give

why wouldn't the consultant order a scan of a goiter ( I have confirmed Graves Disease?)
When I asked they said it's because the treatment plan is the same regardless in first instance - ie carbimazole - in hope that stops growth/ balances the hormones and so avoid radioactive

Addictive drugs
Many years ago, when I found paracetamol was not always sufficient to give me relief from pain, my GP prescribed codeine. To be taken as and when required with a maximum of 4 a day. Since then my GP has changed and he seems to be telling me to take 4 each day at regular intervals, as the previous instructions

Struggling coming off ropinerole
First thank you for all the replies to my earlier posts, before my second hip replacement. 4 weeks post surgery I am decreasing ropinerole slowly, just dropped from 0.75mg to 0.5mg after 2 weeks on 0.75mg. But struggling with symptoms starting early afternoon and getting worse as the evening progressed

What is my status
Please could someone clarify this for me as had an overactive thyroid which was knocked out with RAI. I am Thyroxine which, thank goodness, has stabilised me so that I am Euthyridic (sp) however there are the occasional flareups of eye problems associated with Throid Eye Disease. What I am really confused
