Anticoagulants and diabetes drugs send a significant amount of adults ages 65 and older to the emergency room each year.
New research looking into adverse effects from medication use found that anticoagulants (blood thinners) and diabetes drugs send a significant amount of adults ages 65 and older to the emergency room each year. Younger adults, between the ages of 25 and 44, were more likely to experience medication

Ranking the opioids for RLS
I'd love to see experienced members rank the various opioids for efficacy. Include advantages, disadvantages, side effects etc Which ones should be avoided, etc. Include kratom on the list. Maybe we can all agree on one "master list"?!!!

Augmentation
I guess I'm trying to determine if RLS augmentation is only experienced in those who have used dopamine agonists for a period of time? Or, do other classes of medications also cause augmentation to a degree? And last, how do we separate augmentation from the natural progression of untreated RLS? First

Zoledronic acid and dental treatment
Good morning all. It's been a while since I have been active on the forum but read it regularly and I am aware that there has been discussion about bisphosphonates and dental treatment. My PMR started 6 years ago and I have been on pred for almost as long. My GP prescribed AA but I was unable to take

Natural remedies and food supplements
This is mainly a personal view of the usefulness of these for RLS, but is based on some reading. I hope it is a balanced view. Hopefully it offers some guidance for when you're choosing remedies. The 3 main things you should find out about when choosing a remedy. 1) EFFECTIVENESS : does it actually

Pain relief without more opioids
Does anyone have any suggestions for pain relief without more opioids? I was thinking of getting a TENs machine. Can you use pads on abdomen and back?

Dental treatment abroad and travel insurance w/ asthma cover
My mum's due to go to Turkey for dental implant treatment. She has brittle asthma, albeit, controlled. I've found an insurer for the dental aspect, but they won't cover for asthma. Can anybody please give me any suggestions and guidance on what to do? Thank you.

Do bisphosphonates increase pain?
I'm 53 with advanced disease, PSA was 300 in 2020, due to extensive bone Mets. Since then Orchiectomy and Zytiga has done a great job of getting my PSA down to 0.01, for several months now. I have significant bone and nerve pain, under control with opioids Fentanyl plus Morphine, and Pregabalin. Recently

How do you manage?
Living w/chronic pain most of my life. Opioids don't work for me, spinal cord stimulator helps. Exercise + mindfulness help also. I have use of a pool twice-weekly but must use rollator to help me walk. Pain care is mostly private and restricted in ROI, so very expensive! What access do you have to help

Anybody else get chronic diseases year or so after nissen fundoplication?
I had the nissen fundoplication op in 2008 and 18 months later I started to become sick and have got worse everyday since. It started with cluster migraines and something like fainting/non-epileptic seizures. I've read that the vegas nerve can be damaged in stomach ops and can't help feeling that this

Re "Help"
I am writing this to thank all those who responded to my plea for help. I am very moved and quite overwhelmed by the kindness and good advice I have received. It would seem that I need to overcome my fears about opioids on grounds that they are the lesser of two evils. I am hoping to persuade my new

Paper on meds that help DA withdrawal

Hello, Currently lying here in pain whilst I try to convince A&E to see me who then do the usual and stick me up with a fridge full of opioids and tell me to make an appointment with my GP who has a 3 week waiting list. Can’t go to work. Can’t get a sick note. Pretty sure most people at work think

Oxycodone.. it works for my husband
Hi friends I felt like I needed to update. I was vehemently against the use of any opioids because at one time my husband was trying to self medicate which didn’t work well. He’s literally tried everything. He met a doctor who is helping him tremendously. He’s using 10 mg a night for the last 4 months
