Pacemaker and dental treatment
I am due to get a pacemaker fitted on 26 June, I also have a dental appointment on 27 June for treatment - root canal and crown. Is this going to be okay or will I have to delay the dental treatment? Any advice folks???

Dentists
Hi everyone-I am due to have CABG July/August. I have a routing check up at dentist this month. I have read somewhere of a link between teeth/gums and heart disease. What are the risks, if any? Is there any chance of dental treatment delaying the heart operation? Thanks

Buprenorphine update - one week in
Well, I’ve been taking Buprenorphine for a week now, and I can barely believe it. I have had [u]zero[/u] RLS! My IRLSS has gone from the high 30s to 0. Absolutely no symptoms at all. I have spent my nights in bed like a normal person. The relief is unbelievable. On the first night I took one 0.2mg

Interesting update for those in the UK whose GP practice has Buprenorphine red listed
Finally, after months of hitting my head against a brick wall with my GP practice, where Buprenorphine is firmly red-listed (and the partners flatly refuse to change their stance, even after being presented with all the research we know about on this site), I have been able to obtain an NHS prescription

Affect of Alendronic acid if needing dental work?
This aspect bothers me as well as the implications of taking Alendronic acid. At age 81 after taking AA for about 18 months, I stopped it after I was prescribed HRT patches for another problem . Whilst HRT protects bones to a certain extent , I believe it doesn't increase bone density as does AA.

QoL: "Moonrise in a liminal place"
Liminal = occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold. In mythology, this refers to the meeting of this world and another. Regarding the painting, I came across a suggestion by the art Moira Huxley that an intriguing effect may be produced by putting a layer of charcoal over

Buprenorphine and constipation.
Can anyone tell me how constipating Buprenorphine is please? I’ve heard a lot about the nausea it causes but not that other side effect of all morphine drugs. Is it better or worse than other opioids? As it is supposed to be the best one for controlling RLS and my Neurologist is going to ask my GP to

Inflammation and RLS redux
I've both queried and written about the possible roles that inflammation plays in RLS, but wanted to share what I recently learned, which again indicates that the relationship between the two is complicated. I was recently on methyl prednisone for a few days to calm down post-surgery inflammation

RLS and surgery
As I have previously indicated, I take Belbuca buccal patch for my RLS. I am scheduled for hip replacement surgery in the near future. Recently I have seen several posts stating that any surgery will cause increased RLS . Honestly, I am now very concerned and anxious about this. Because I take Belbuca

Dipyridamole didn't work for me
I was hoping to be able to come off buprenorphine so that my digestive system could return to normal, and was excited to learn about dipyridamole on this site. Several studies show that it is effective for RLS. I started with 75mg night one, then 150, and 225mg on night 3. I removed my buprenorphine

Morphine use
Just over 5 years ago I fell from a ladder whilst cleaning my gutters and fell through a secondary roof which was made from corrugated plastic and 4" x 2" wood, most of which I broke on my descent to a block brick floor. I was airlifted to Southampton Hospital and was in resus for nearly 4 hours and

I am posting this in the hope that it helps in forming your own response and if you agree with some of them, including them in your own response might help them pay more attention to them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
