How to safely start Fentanyl patch when already on opioids?
I’ve been on 2mg of Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) for a couple of months now for hip and bone pain. The pain has gotten much worse, so my oncologist upped me to 4mg each time. (I’m still taking 2mg, I just take it every 3 hours now instead of every 6 hours). He also just prescribed me a 3 day release fentanyl

Tension headaches
I’ve been having headaches most days since March this year. Mostly in my forehead & not awful pain but I’m aware my head hurts. I have been to my surgery at least 4 times & still no explanation as to what’s causing them. I do have pulsating tinnitus to which doesn’t help as it keeps me awake which

Wait list from referral
Hey :)I just want some empathy I think! I got my referral to speak to a gynae (so I'm not even sure if they're an endo specialist yet!) About 6 weeks ago. I chased up with my doctors as I hadn't even heard if the referral had been received. I've been told the wait list for the initial consultation is

homozygous, so I have the 2 copies for H63D. I’ve had a thought 💭
I’m homozygous/have the 2 copies for H63D. I’ve have higher ferritin levels over past 7/8 years ranges from circa 180 upto 380 at times. I found out as hubby bought me a Family history genetic test as a present and it included health DNA results. For years & prior to the genetic test & since, I have

maybe not PMR!
hello - i saw my consultant rhematologist last week and he doesnt think i have PMR - or at least it’s atypical. If atypical then thats a management problem. So he says steroids are masking symptoms and also causes and im using them as painkiller so he's taking me off them over 6 weeks to see whats really

Prednisone masking various pain issues?
I have read prednisone does not treat certain pain issues ie “arthritis” yet I am also seeing many commemts about prednisone “masking” certain issues, seems like a contradiction, and resulting in a view that prednisone is a pain killer/anti iflammatory, for other conditions other than pmr, ?

Describing my Headache
Since my TBI 5 months ago I have just figured out what my headache feels like. I have struggled to describe it to my loved ones and consultants but Eating Fizzy sherbert is how it feels (but a painful version). This is everyday even with my pain medication. Has anyone had this and does it end?

side effects of tapering
I reduced successfully from 7 to 6mg a year ago and have been trying to reduce a bit further recently. My 6mg was split into 5mg in the morning and 1mg at night. I decided to split the 1mg tablet every few days and got down to alternate days. Going lower wasn’t a success however; I tried once a week

root canal work while on zoledronic acid infusions
I have 6 monthly dental checkups, and for years all has been well. I had my first zoledronic acid infusion 28th December 2023. My last dental checkup was in March. A week ago I started getting intermittent pains in the right side of my jaw, both bottom and top. GP ruled out PMR and recommended I visit

can someone explain please
During a conversation with my husband concerning my PMR, l told him that l was in pain that day. He asked why l didn’t request some stronger/more effective pain meds from the GP. So l made the statement that PMR does not respond particularly to painkillers. My hubby seemed to think that what l had

Nerve pain in foot
Does anyone else get what is more than likely nerve pain in the feet? It comes and goes like a shooting pain but has been a lot more frequent recently and it's not nice. At the moment it's like above my little toe. But it moves around both feet - and usually it was in the middle towards the upper part

Leg cramps
I drink a lot of Matcha tea with honey, also squash. One coffee breakfast but I still get cramp. My feet feel as they try to curl under, legs then feel heavy and cramp up to my hips. Last night both went very quickly and getting out of bed was very painful. Standing and trying to walk was laughable.
