Has anyone tried “compassionate use” or “right to try” laws?
I’m getting pretty desperate here as hubby can no longer tolerate any dopamine therapy. He’s only 61, can barely speak or walk, and I have to help him with almost everything. There’s actually not much out there on the horizon, but considering trying it with Buntanetap or neflamapimod (for Lewy Body

Buprenorphine transition from patch to tablets
Hey Everyone With the help of a 20 mg 7 day Buprenorphine patch, I have been free of any dopamine agonist for almost 3 months. But as we all know, the patch does not last 7 days, 5 if you are lucky. Consequently, I change it every 5 days and have had pretty good results. Initially, I would have moderate

Treatment for severe OCD
I've undergone surgery for my bad OCD. It helped quite well. I know the FDA has accepted the newer operation type, Deep Brain Stimulation, to offer us, OCD sufferers. I don't exactly know what it is said about DBS in FDA's guidelines, but they consider this surgery as an exception if no other method

Oral thrush
Hello!:) I need some advice for this. I'm using Fostair, I really think it's from that inhaler. I have some white and red spots on my throat, nothing on my tongue yet. I have a few questions because this never happened before. Is oral thrush contagious? I'm afraid because I don't want to give it to

ADT and crying
Does anyone else that has been on ADT drugs for years have trouble with tears or crying for no real reason? I tear up anymore at just the thought of something sad. It’s a major pain in the ass, not to mention embarrassing because I am still employed. Wondering if there is a solution other than stopping

How effective is fenofibrate for itch?
My doctor suggested a few different drugs, like rifampricin, naltrexone, and fenofibrate for my itch. He prescribed fenofibrate as he thinks it works best. Does anyone here take it and if so, has it helped? I'm worried about the warnings it comes with about severe liver damage.
