I'm a retired skateboarder with a history of migraines, arthrosis, bilateral facet hypertrophy, flattened nerve roots, and anxiety, all sports-related. I've been on a pain management regimen for years, but recent changes and forced tapering have me concerned. My current regimen includes 30mg of Methadone, 2 60mg of MS Contin, 6 15mg MSIR, and Fiorinal 2x a day. Methadone has worked best for me, and I'm considering switching pain management doctors who believe in Methadone. What should I do?

I got a conch piercing back in March and have been cleaning it daily, but I've developed what I think is called a “piercing pimple” or “piercing bump”. It pops and bleeds when I clean it, and this is the third time it has happened. What should I do, and should I be concerned?

I am hypersensitive to certain drugs, including NSAIDs, higher doses of Tylenol, and antihistamines, and have had allergic reactions to them. I am concerned about potentially going into anaphylactic shock and am unsure how it would be treated given my allergies to these medications. Is epinephrine enough for treatment, and should I carry an EpiPen?
