Augmentation, opiates, benzodiazepines
I read a lot on here about the danger of augmentation with dopamine agonists and of switching to
opiates
. But from what I read,
opiates
are also dopamine agonists. My doc is probably about as keen to let me have
opiates
or even benzodiazepines as offer an alcohol a drink.

Pain relief products that I've found helpful
Since I've yet to experience any relief from my RA, I must rely on pain meds and pain relief devices to get me through the day. While no drug, device, or product has helped much with my pain, I wanted to share with folks some of the things that at least offer some relief, even if subtle. If you'd like

Lightning strike
Was walking happily down the road last Friday. Then I suddenly lost balance (didn't fall) and grabbed a fence. Went back home tree-to tree and was finally helped across the road by a passer by. Still couldn't walk so I called 111. They sent a "crisis team" and they shipped me to hospital where I still

Chronic pain with so much to live for but so little feelings of wanting to.
Pain meds help a great deal when I have to or need to to go somewhere with my family but with the government issues and the crackdown on
opiates
I had to cut back on taking those. Just another thing to make my days much more difficult.

A second medication
Hi everyone. I'm after a bit of advice. I'm looking for something I can take for RLS a couple of times a week that it not an opiate. I already take codeine but can't take it every day due to tolerance build up-it just doesn't work when I do that.I don't want to take a dopamine agonist for fear of augmentation

THE EYES HAVE IT
It was very nice, however, to meet a doctor who understands chronic pain and doesn't just want to throw
opiates
at it. He does a lot with nerve blocks, which I think is what I need for behind my knee.

Taking Tramadol with LDN for ME/ CFS and Fibromyalgia.
Morning All! I just started on 0.5 LDN this week. I have ME/ CFS, Fibromyalgia and I'm Hypothyroid (so taking T4 Levothryoxine and T3 Liothyronine) LDN makes me feel nauseous the minute I take it, and the nausea sticks around for fifteen minutes or so, but I'm already sleeping better and am looking forward

To the streets
I have been told by some medical professionals that all opiate patients are gonna have there meds taken except for cancer patients. Is this a scare tactic or fact?????? I have seen people who are in terrible pain loose their pain management and have had to stop their job. Suffering. No quality of life

The best RLS solution used for the last 300 years
Willis in his description of this disease in 1685 also reported on the benefits of
opiates
for treating the symptoms. Thus for over 300 years
opiates
remained the only truly effective treatment for this disease.

An Immune Disease? Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Fibromyalgia Study Suggests FM Has Inflammatory Side
"Low dose naltrexone (LDN) is becoming more and more widely used in fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

Pain medication for prostate cancer that has spread only to the bones. Is opiate pain medication always necessary?
I would love to hear from anyone who has avoided
opiates
for pain relief, and what they use instead. Thanks,

Bowel pain / codeine
Anyway I think all the pain relief I can have will be
opiates
, I can't have NSAIDs because of upper gastric problems. Any thoughts? Ps I use heatmat as much as possible. Wish I could find a portable one. Used to have tens machine but my skin just got wrecked from the pads and tape.

Fingerprints
I just want to say to newly dx, or not. Everybody's case of MS is different!!! Just because someone has vision problems with their first attack. It may be common, but not everyone suffers from it. As well as numbness or pain. Depression, fatigue, which isn't just mean your tired. It can mean you are

Still wondering what to do ?
I have a genetic mutation which makes me process
opiates
very quickly. The good news is no dependence the bad news no pain control. Being allergic to naproxen also excludes NSAIDs and I cannot take Prednisone.

Paralympic Discrimination
On a more serious note we could easily be disqualified for "doping"as both our cylinders and concentrators would be difficult to conceal and they would probably find traces of Steroids and O2 and possibly
opiates
in our blood and urine tests. Think we might go for the Highland Games instead.

A Procedure for RLS
I see drugs generally divided into three groups Dopamine agonists,
opiates
and Marijuana based. These all might have long term side effects that make them unusable for some people.
