    My guess would be because they can. I am sure if they had trouble finding out of work people with graduate degrees they would lower the requirements.

    You can teach HS with a bachelor's. Ifyou want to teach, have you considered teach for america or other teaching fellowships?

    can you feel the struggle within?

    Is that not still codeine derived though? I mean there are some chemical differences (apart from the major one of a hydroxyl group instead of just hydrogen at C14) but I think it would still make me sick.

    The opioids are kind of messy drugs, metabolically. There are four (some people say five) different opioid receptors, and in people who have had chronic pain for a long time, the activity of one or more of those receptors may have been altered (or congenitally abnormal). And then each opioid is metabolized into three or four or more active byproducts all with slight chemical similarities and differences. This comes up on urinalysis a lot - you can't test for, for example, codeine and oxycodone separately because their metabolites are so similar. So some people who develop, say, a skin rash to codeine might develop the same rash with oxycodone but not hydrocodone, or vice versa, or all three.

    So, yeah, there's a good chance that oxycodone would trigger whatever adverse reaction you get from codeine, but it's not a guarantee. The only way to figure out this mess is to try it. Try a small dose of oxycodone (or any other opioid you're curious about) and see if you have an adverse reaction. Just keep in mind that 5mg of oxycodone is roughly equivalent to 30mg of codeine, more or less. (This isn't an exact science.)

    Just to clarify this post, with most opioids, both the analgesia and any adverse reactions are caused by the metabolites - the drug is converted to {some combination of other opioid molecules} in the liver, and it's one or more of those active metabolites that we're actually interested in. Since there is some, but not perfect, overlap in the metabolites produced from each of the major opioids, then it's possible that one drug can cause a reaction that another does not.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    That's a relatively savvy combination. That gives me confidence that your pain management clinician knows what he's doing.

    Yeah. It was pregabalin and venaflaxine but my new pain management consultant switched to duloxotine to see if it helped a bit more.

    It was kind of funny 'cos if I'd seen him years ago when I first started this regime he wouldn't have given me this combination because he doesn't use it. But my pain consultant in Glasgow was just awesome and totally on top of all the neuropathic pain stuff. I miss him.

    You can require a masters to teach at a shitty community college because the market for educators is shit and they're expecting to have to slog through it, I imagine. The price of not having to leave academia.

    If it's Higher Education I actually strongly agree with the UK kind-of rule that for a lecturing post you have to have (or have just submitted) your PhD.

    I mean, I do some teaching and I'll be in charge of creating and delivering a module next semester, but I'm also very near the end of my PhD with two Masters degrees and a first class undergraduate degree and the module is very strongly associated with my research area and I shadowed a similar module a couple of years ago when it was taught by my Supervisor.

    yeah there are a lot of unemployed Masters and PhDs floating around

    I mean the fact that so many of them fetch up at bookstores should indicate that all of the better teaching positions are heavily competed over, even at community college

    Because many of them have transfer deals with nearby universities, so in order to maintain their accreditation, they need to have high standards for their faculty.

    I have no doubt he's a nice fellow. His charity work/rescue stuff is already proof of that. I just wish people like Leno or even John Stewart would realize when someone like Ford doesn't like doing their show and not have him on as a guest when he clearly looks like he'd rather be somewhere else.

    Something about the GABA-nergic agent plus SNRI combination just seems to work particularly well for neuropathic pain. I dunno why.

    It's nice because it also ferrets out some of the fakers. Somebody with a neuropathic complaint, who has been on narcotics for a long time, should report that the GABA/SNRI combination takes the pain down to a functional level (but it usually doesn't eliminate it completely)... just as you have. Such a person usually needs something additional for really bad days, like an opioid or marijuana, but will no longer report dependence on it.

    People who maintain daily opioid or marijuana use despite the GABA/SNRI combo is going to have something else going on. Psychiatric issue, addiction, spinal injury, etc.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    To expand a little, surely even at a Community College the lecturer is expected to have expertise in the area in which they are teaching? I honestly don't believe that this can be the case if the lecturer only has a BA (or whatever undergraduate degree it is). Plus, they wouldn't have the research skills to find out the stuff they don't know and the career development offered by postgraduate education.
