Does being allergic to antibiotics act as a precursor to GCA ?
I am new to GCA and was most interested in the notes on antibiotics.I am 83, have been in excellent health until now, except that I found over the years I was allergic to 9 different antibiotics mainly given me for cystitis or dental treatment over the years. I had a TIA in Sept 2018 and was found to

Spring has sprung
Today I can hear birds chirping birds outside, Yesterday I heard an owl hooting. To be honest, I can hear cars travelling down the freeway a mile away, that kind of ruins the atmosphere, but “YOU” take the good with the not so good. That is life, our existence. Nothing is ever perfect tranquillity, so

Free dental treatment when pregnant 37 weeks
Hi everyone, I'm 37 weeks pregnant and just got my routine appointment to the dentist. Which was private before I got pregnant. But I have my free prescription certificate and MATB1 form. Just wondering can I have a free dental treatment from my dental practice where I am now? Or do I have to go elsewhere

Calling All USA Suffers This is Your Chance to Help Us All!
Hi, I know there are a number of people on here from the US and there is some very important legislation about to be made that could affect us all or at the very least those of us with Refractory RLS where nothing BUT opioids will help. Or even if this isn’t you and you know a fellow sufferer like this

Anticoagulants and dental work
Help! I’m having root planing, then 4 extractions, followed a few months later by 4 bone grafts and 4 implants. My periodontist wants me to ask the doctor whether any precautions need to be taken beforehand. I take Dabigatran Bisoprolol, Fleicanide,and an SSRI for anxiety. I haven’t had a cardiology

Dr John Winkleman at Massachusetts General Hospital is a world expert in RLS and has set up a National Opioid Register in the USA to study long term low dose opioid use for RLS.

Fear of what if.
Fear of what if, It can affect and I am sure does affect all of us at some stages and to various degrees. I lived for several years with frequent Trigeminal Neuralgia pain. I was scared that the surgery would be ineffective, so why bother. After my second or third overdose on opioids, I figured

Addicted to Opioids
I’ve been on Durogesic Patches 50-75mcg for over 10yrs now. Take OralMorph for break through pain or when withdrawing from Patches in last day before changing patch. My Rheumy wants me to come off Opioids. He’s going to try referring to Poisons Unit to get help from them. I’m just worried what do

Trying my GP again
Hi l am fairly new to the site but have had PA for almost 34 years and there wasn't much information back then so l have just tried my best to get on with it and for most part that was ok. Until recently l was able to make it through the 12 weeks until my next injection and the rest of the time l struggled

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

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
