btw, if you have tinnitus you should ask your dentist to check for similar issue as seen in that graphic but don’t expect all dentists to even know about it.
The doctor prescribed tramadol for me when I had both my knees replaced. Nasty stuff. Did nothing for the pain, just made me delirious. I didn't bother taking any more of it.
Yes, exactly! I pulled an abscessed tooth with a butter knife and pliars after a bottle of Jagermeister. Pain got to be too much, ibuprofen and water wasn't cutting it anymore and I didn't have insurance. Gargled with what was left of the bottle over the next couple days and haven't had any issues since.
The Sackler narrative was BS.
Purdue never had a large Market share, it was about 4% or so. .
Prescription opioids have gone down more than 60+% since peaking in 2012 but Opioid ODs are at record levels due to un- regulated illicit opioids.
Addiction rates for opioids are around 1% certainly less than 5% and less than alcohol.
The few that were addicted to prescription opioids cannot account for the record opioid ODs; this was all illegal opioids.
If prescription opioids were a major cause of addiction and OD deaths, we should have seen a drop on opioid ODs. But of course we haven’t.
People always looks for easy explanations and scapegoats. The government always will blame-shift.
sheesh...are you in your 80s or 90s...that is some ole timey remedies right there. I could never.
I had a molar pulled out about 3 weeks ago. Far back one.
Jack and I had a good night after that.
Well the Jager has enough alcohol to kill off any infection so what the hell...
They told my 80 year old mother who has been known to keep going despite broken bones that she was just "being a baby" to go home, and the pain was not "that bad".
They ran into the wrath of dad and decided that maybe they should do a check just to make sure.... Major abyss. They had drained the smaller one earlier that day and completely missed the big one.
Granted sending her home with pain pills would not have been a good solution in that case but it does show how they regard pain as not being a major symptom anymore.
The government is expert at blame shifting. In the 1980s before big pharma and the insurance companies colluded, tying physician’s hands, I was taught that patients became addicted while in ICU and part of the care was titrating and treating that as they recovered. Now, they’re just discharged to deal with it on their own mostly. I’m still waiting for terpene compounding and sane cannabis dispensing.
Oxycodone, works great for me. Without them on hand for the times when pain is overpowering, is a miracle.
It is possible you have P450 problems in the way your process drugs. Just be on the lookout for other weird reactions to drugs.
For me, I am completely missing the enzymes from both parents that would metabolize that drug. But you can have a problem even if only one parent gave you the enzyme.
Also some pain drugs are metabolized by multiple enzymes. So if you are okay with one set but are defective in another it might still cause you problems.
That is what I have to watch out for with Plaquenil.
And then there is the whole other nightmare of how one drug effects another when you have P450 problems
Acetaminophen and Codeine work great!
Eagle-syndrome is a condition associated with the elongation of the styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament, clinically characterized by throat and neck pain, radiating into the ear.
I dont know how long I have had it but I know at least 5 dentists missed it on panaromic xrays and radiologists missed it on other images. I had to have an Eagle expert radiologist at a university hospital look at existing imaging to confirm what everyone else had missed.
It was a dentist who eventually caught it.
It can compress your jugular. I have seen pictures of it doing it. One person who had surgery said the CT didnt pick up compressing the jugular and it wasnt until surgery that they discovered the compression
I am not sure yet if I have a CNS leak but many do.
And over and over and over again I am hearing Doctors tell me they have never heard of Eagle Syndrome...which apparently is pretty common medical experience of patients who have it.
Rush Limbaugh did that too when he was hooked. Talked about it on his show. I sure miss him......
here is an example of eagle jugular syndrome imagining

But it can press on any number of things in your head/neck..veins, arteries, nerves. Can cause so many different symptoms depending on what it is pressing on. Since Tinnitus is one that is why I tell people to at least have your dentist check your panoramic xray
Lol. I was 30 at the time, and teaching at a local technical college. I'd had enough trying to lecture through the pain. It's amazing what we can do with/to our bodies when the time comes. If it's bad enough, you'll do something about it.
btw, this is not a modern day processed food problem. they have found it Eagle Syndrome in skulls dug up for the early mankind eras...and yet it wasnt officially discovered until the 1930s and most doctors are clueless about it.
If you have weird stuff going on that doctors cant figure out look at that panoramic xray. Chances are you dont have it because it is rare but I have so many rare things “rare” doesnt mean anything to me.
i agree
one last thing on this
If you are experiencing long haul covid you definitely need to check to see if you have Eagle Syndrome.
here is a person who found out after covid
but my reasoning is that Covid may have affected your vagus nerve and what you were able to tolerate before has all become more inflamed for a variety of reasons. Depending on where your spikes are it could be aggravating the vagus nerve which operates all throughout your body.
