Something I don't get, right, with my tablets.
Sometimes when I take them, it's like nothing has happened, no real strength to them at all. Then other times I take them, like this afternoon, and they're rediculously strong.

It doesn't seem to co-incide with what I've eaten or what I've drunk with them, how much sleep I've had, or anything like that. It's just, like, random, where every few days a dose would do nothing and every few days a dose would make me feel wasted.

Is it possible that the tablet manufacturing has gone funny?

Shouldn't be
They should be manufactured and distributed under very strict conditions.

You can build up temporary resistance to them in your synapses.
Different parts of your nervous system will clear out at different times that's probably the reason.

Really?
I'm not disputing it, but it sounds like something out of a shampoo commercial!

Pain meds effect neuroreceptors on the end of nerve cells,
they can only activate a limited number of times before they stop working and get replaced.
Drugs generally either block them to stop pain travelling or speed up their usage. So the cells try to counter it, either creating more or removing them quicker.

Can I ask why you dont work in a more medical capacity in the NHS?
You seem to be very knowledgeable about it

Perhaps you could set yourself up as an online quack
There is a lot of call for internet diagnoses round these parts.

It's kinda sweet that politicians think they can change the way the NHS works.

They can change how much money it has

Only until people start saying "give us more money or pretty photographic children start dying of preventable diseases"

I don't quite understand really,
Is this that thing where now the GPs decide how to spend the money, ie, who gets what operation or medicine, rather than PCTs ?

Sort of yes.

Makes sense, although I would thought it would be regulated as I always take them the sameish times.

I get this sometimes with my meds. I think it's related to blood sugar level.
