[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2513270, member: 25851"] I consulted the pharmacist at our medical practice about taking pain killers. I'm not addicted to the codeine in the Co-codamol that I take, but I am finding that it has less effect than it used to, so I am taking 2 doses on some days. And now, even that isn't taking the edge off the soreness, although it does, after about an hour, ease the restless legs. So I was looking for something to replace it with. However, she thinks I'm better sticking with it but separating out the codeine from the paracemol. So she is changing my prescription to separate them out and I can decide how much of the codeine to take with regular doses of paracetemol. I also asked her about the Furosimide, which apparently was given to treat breathlessness,years ago and never stopped. The breathlessness is still there, although since having my iron infusion it is much improved. So she is cancelling that and adding in a new one which should help with the fluid retention but may put my blood pressure up, so will have to watch that. Mainland dermatologist, consulted online, says the problem with my legs is a bacterial infection on top of the eczema which has been there for years but at the back of it is "venous insufficiency" (varicose veins) for which he recommends consultation with a specialist surgeon. Could do without more surgery. He says I have classic "inverted champagne bottle" legs!:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
