cycling with a tooth abscess

I have just spoken to the practice manager who has arranged for me to see another dentist at the same practice on the NHS tomorrow. She said the dentist should not have told me that I had to go private and that I should have been offered an NHS option as well. Also the initial consulatation with the other surgery is free of charge. I got a feeling they were backing down somewhat when challenged.

Whatever makes you think that

One of the side effects of Codine is drowsiness and it definitely makes me drowsy.

I wouldnt ride while on Codine, just like I wouldnt drive.

After my assault last year I was on 30/500 co-codimol. I was clinically stoned for two weeks.

Google " Oxford League" tells you from randomised clinical trials what really works.

Interesting. So codeine is a pretty poor potentially addictive painkiller. While higher doseage ibuprofen is right up there. have not taken any codeine yet today, on that evidence I will stick to the ibuprofen.

Intersperse the ibuprofen with paracetemol and you have about the best combination.

Codeine is seriously addictive. I had withdrawals after my two weeks on the stuff.

I don't think that point is highlighted enough. I was told by my doctor to take Solpadeine after a back injury about ten years ago and I had a devil of a job trying to stop the things again.

I tend to think I am more succeptable than most as I have a compulsive/addictive personality (for weeks after my only operation that involved a Pre-Med and General Anaesthetic I wanted that feeling of spacedoutness I get from the premed. I was 14 at the time!!!). Most Pain Killers don't touch me for some reason so I avoid them where-ever possible.

Codeine is an opiate like heroin and has the same addictive qualities.

It is a Morphine derivative isn't it?

the constipation thing with paracetamol is handy to know, I have ibs so have issues with ibuprofen and would often double up Imodium and paracetamol to control pain and movements without realising I was od'ing on the Imodium effect

Yep I think they all come from the same starting point. i.e. the opium poppie, although there is probably some synthetic way of creating it nowadays.

I'm sure there is. Rather like digitalis, aspirin er can't think of others at the mo
