Buprenorphine vs. hydromorphone or other opioids
So I noticed during and after a recent TKR that the buprenorphine that I take for my RLS interacts with the hydromorphone that my surgeon prescribed for me for pain. First, when I was taking my buprenorphine along with the hydromorphone, the hydromorphone wasn't easing my pain because the buprenorphine

Iron Infusion Attempt
This week I saw Dr Robin Fackrell privately at Bath Sulis Hospital to discuss whether an iron infusion would be an appropriate way forward for me and if so how I could progress this. The outcome of the session is that Dr Fackrell will write back to my GP recommending this course of action for my RLS

Opioid prejudice at the pharmacy
I wonder if other HU members have experienced hostile treatment from the pharmacy, while collecting their opioid medication?At my local chemist, there are a few members of staff who are rude and hostile towards patients who are prescribed opiates. I pick up my prescription every month. When I go in

Also have poor appetite. It has taken me 25years to find something that relieves my RLS, am terrified now regarding

SOVENOR PATCHES (Buprenorphine)
Please could anybody using Buprenorphine confirm an article I read recently that it can block the effectiveness of other opioids needed as top up - maybe Tramadol - when the RLS just overrides the patch.

Seeing my GP
Hi, I've had RLS for 47 years and, as with many of us, it worsened as I got older. I have been through the DAs, Gabapentin and have just come off Pregabalin due to side effects. My ferritin level is over 100 so I'm pretty happy with that and have just started taking A-Z multi vitamins. I avoid the

Antibiotics and dentist
Morning. This old chestnut again I'm afraid. I spoke to my sister yesterday evening. She has had aortic valve replacement. She said her dental hygienist refused to carry out a clean without prophylactic antibiotic cover. NICE guidelines have changed. Her dentist was not so sure. Long
