Spreading the word to Drs

We did a cruise in Hawaii for Christmas

I met a Dr in the hot tub he specialised in geriatrics. I told him about buprenophine he was very interested.

He gave me his email address and said he would do the course to allow him to prescribe and even write a paper on it .

He currently prescribes OxyContin for his elderly patients .

I told him how it destroyed my memory and although helped my legs it was a long way off perfect .

Dr Joseph was from USA and he is going to get his patients to get it prescribe by Dr Glen Brooks then he can continue prescribing for them .

I hope that Drs who are in charge of the health and well-being of elderly patients with a of RSL can help make a difference .

I am taking OxyContin + Fentanyl Patches for pain is spine it’s been wonderful to finally have a drug that works /my legs, it drive me mad but I also jerk a lot at the same time whole body..........dreadful .

. My legs are dreadful starting about 6pm & continues until I take a shortex either 5 -10 capsules once in my system I sleep for a while , then use music as distraction with a good pair headphones, sometimes I don’t get to bed as I can’t keep still > now this is possible not the answer you were looking for , I an currently reducing my patches & that’s made my rls syndrome worse.

So we will see .
