LONG TIME DEALING
Hi Peeps! My most substantial accident happened in August, 2001. I was working at the Children's Center as the Director & got hurt very badly by a child. She snuck up from behind my desk to surprise & hug me. So I wouldn't fall on top of her I fell out of my chair, & truly wrenched my spine. This

FDA Statement on Opioids
The FDA have released a helpful statement to distinguish between dependence and addiction to opioids. For those of us dependent on opioids to control our severe RLS, this will be useful to print out for our GPs. https://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2019/2/6/fda-patients-dependent-on-opioids-are-not-addicted

Correct management of opioids?
Currently been upped from codeine to tramadol due to pain increases. The codeine made me high and the tramadol doesn’t, ive never really had an issue taking/not taking the codeine but the tramadol... I’ve had withdrawals for the last few days. I asked my doc how to manage taking the tramadol, as I have

THE DANGERS OF ANT-HYCOTICS PRESCIBED FOR SLEEP- OLEXAR, OLANZAPINE
Hi, my name is Denise and I am an addict” How on earth had it got to this point! I am sitting in Stepping Stones addiction centre and it is the 23rd December 2018. I am going to spend Christmas in a psych facility with people I have never met before. It would be funny if not for the fact that I am

Long Term Pain Relief
An article in today's press that might be of interest, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/21/opiods-chronic-pain-prescribe Maybe I'm missing something, but I found this article pretty gloomy, opioids don't generally work for chronic pain, but the NHS hasn't the resource to offer much

RL medication Disappointment!
Well, after another night with NO sleep I didn't think I could go another night so made an appointment at the doctors. He doesn't believe the severity of RL since I reduced/stopped is due to withdrawal. He thinks it may be due to not having the drug that was helping! His suggestion is that I take it

a very short statement
It is okay. How "YOU" feel is okay. This is your illness; these are your feelings, your fears. I do not expect "YOU" or anybody to understand mine. No matter how close they may be to me. I live in my head. My feelings and fears are mine. At 3 am when I can not sleep for whatever reason

Dental health
I am a major proponent of dentists and dental healthcare. I have dental cleanings every 3 months. I made my husband who really disliked dentists realize what they do for our health. He has undergone several major dental treatments first bullied by me. But now he realizes how critical our dental well-being

Dental treatment following a heart attack
I recently had a heart attack and my dentist now wants me to ask my doctor whether I need antibiotics before having dental treatment (to deal with bleeding). Does anyone know anything about this?

Tapentadol and Headaches. Do they go away? Has anyone experienced this?
Headaches on Tapentadol? I’ve just started Tapentadol ER 100mg x2 3 weeks ago from spine problems, chronic migraines, and CRPS. I had been on fentanyl patches 37.5mcg for several years, doing wonderfully with a healthy quality of life, but my insurance company kicked me off of them - I’m in USA and apparently

Endocarditis warning card
“Happy new year” Do BHF still do the endocarditis warning cards at all? I was just curious and do you still have to have antibiotics before any dental treatment? I’ve been reading some very serious stories that have been due to dental treatment and followed by serious complications afterwards. Cheers

Has anyone used a product called Quell?
I was wondering if any of you wonderful people have heard of or used Quell? It is a tens type unit that seems simple, no outlying electrodes, just goes around your calf. You adjust the relief. It is supposed to release naturally occurring opioids from your brain, providing all over pain relief. It is

Opioid lawsuits to protect us from ourselves
Tonight on the news, there was an interview with former Mississippi Attorney General Mike Moore. He is spearheading multi-state lawsuits against the manufacturers of opioids and stated that, frankly, he hopes to get big enough judgments to put them out of business. Well, that is all well and good for

Alternative treatments for RLS.
Hi mtm19,Tim61, I posted recently about withdrawing from Pramipexole, which I’m doing at the moment, not very nice. My GP eventually discovered I was suffering with myoclonic jerks, not restless leg syndrome. I saw him yesterday’ & he has agreed to try keppra ( levetiracetam) 250mg at night. I took
