I've just completed my 6 monthly survey for Dr John Winkelman's Massachusetts Opioid register. It is now in its 5th year and, so far, over 93.6% of the original 500 participants are still filling out the survey.
My RLS score is confirmed at 0/40. No RLS symptoms at all in the past month.
Hopefully, this information will help persuade health authorities and Governments that low dose opioids are safe, highly effective and are not causing addiction or tolerance.

I do of course share your wish, but I fear that the Pendulum is still swinging the wrong way as regards Opioid prescribing as Shumbah hints at in an earlier post.
Buprenorphine is the only opioid I’ve even tolerated so far. Not well by any means, but still enough to make it worth it and better than anything else. I’m grateful.
They should do. Mine arrived at about 6pm. Maybe they take a few days to send to all 500 participants, rather than send all at once ( to allow time to review & collate replies).
Yes. Once every 6 months. Clearly they stagger the questionnaires. I know there's just John Winkelman and one assistant. But his previous assistants have moved on to start medical degrees.
That assistant will presumably be collating the 500 responses and preparing the yearly report for publucation.
