Male 57. Bad reaction to all opiates when taken longer than a week. Mem.loss, oedema, swollen joints, etc. Now on 2x Diclofenac50+ 4x acetaminophen1000. My gp won't prescribe 3x Diclo. Too dangerous she says. Is it really that bad? And if so, why?
Is it normal for a young adult to have much better hearing for high frequencies than low frequencies? Its not that I have significant hearing loss. For low frequencies I can still hear at 20 db, but at higher frequencies I can hear at 0-5 db?
