There I was, having changed the method of pain management from tablets many times a day to a slow release patch.
Just moved in my seat and genuinely thought "I'm not sure I need this level of pain relief, things don't hurt as much at the moment".
Oh, Graeme. You silly boy.

I am thrilled to announce that I have been honored with a Travel Fellowship Award to attend the 2025 Winter Conference on Brain Research! I will have the privilege of presenting preliminary data from our American Foundation for Suicide Prevention-funded clinical trial, which explores the use of low-dose #buprenorphine to extend the antisuicide and antidepressant effects of #ketamine for treatment-resistant #depression.

CW: Personal, NEISVoid
Those who have been following me know that I talk (sometimes) about my chronic pain, intractable and severe, and the trauma that I have developed from dealing with the medical system and doctors.
It is important to understand that, while my level of pain is usual, this kind of treatment by pain patients is so common that it is developing into a crisis.
In this article, the guy talks about people who have been given the diagnosis so that they can be moved to buprenorphine, which is what was done with me. My new treatment regimine (which, contrary to what they said was not going to be a quick fix but in 2-3 months might provide the benefit I got from the infusions) is my only potential escape from the treatment purgatory in which they have placed me.
Even with this, though, doctors were clear that even mentioning "opioids" almost made them kick me out.

Per #NICE website, #Buprenorphine “Transdermal patches are available in strengths of 5, 10, 15 and 20 micrograms/hour as 7-day formulations” ( https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/buprenorphine/ )
I strongly recommend that as #pwME, one starts on the lowest dose and only increases if necessary, as we tend to be more med-sensitive than the gen pop.

The 1st Step Act ordered federal prisons to give addiction medications to more prisoners. But 4 yrs later, >90% of people who need them aren't on them
Instead, they're getting punished for smuggling in meds they should be getting legally.

Important study about #buprenorphine in #pregnancy. 👇🏽
Use of buprenorphine during pregnancy better for infants than methadone.

Among the many problems with #fentanyl, it is making it harder to start treatment such as #buprenorphine. Time to deregulate #methadone. Like yesterday.
