Butrans: Butrans is a great product for chronic pain. Keep in mind it may take up to 3 days to reach steady levels. Also skin redness and mild irritation is quite normal in some. It bypasses the GI tract so less side effects related to bowel.

A grey patch of hair developed on my head in 2018 (it's positioned like a fat strand at the mid frontal of my hair). Also in 2020 I developed unilateral SSHL :(. Do you think these two things can be linked? Waardenburg sydrome? or just Poliosis?
