Attitudes to people using opiates
We all have a back story. I know nobody wishes to be thought of as a drug addict. But there may be members with RLS who are recovering drug addicts, or alcoholics trying to get their lives back on track, and needing support from this forum. Its a sensitive are. I hope I haven't offended or upset anyone

Update finally on treatment
Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am finally on treatment, it took nearly 4 months from dx to treatment (due to moving from South Carolina to Seattle area). I am on Ibrance (Dec. 13th) and letrozole (Nov. 16th). And I am on palliative care for pain management since I have neuropathy in my left arm and hand

Switched from Methadone at 10 mg to Buprenorphine 10 mcg
Good Morning, As of June 2023, I began with 5 mg of methadone, and gradually increased it to 20 mg by August. I reported to the forum in early November, a transformation occurred, with the leg spasms virtually gone, caused by RLS at night. I began tapering off, and reduced it to 7.5 mg and have remained

Diltiazem
After more than 20 years on
opiates
my digestive system has slowed right down. I have laxatives daily and still can't "go". A huge amount of my chronic pain is from bowel adhesions . The pain gets far worse when I can't go properly.

tortuous world of pain
It seems counter-intuitive and unfair that person addicted to
opiates
can obtain buprenorphine at a constant prescribed dose, to enable them to live a 'productive' life, (read Employed), whereas the person in chronic pain is denied the same drug, due to fears of addiction.

Venting
I did see my GP who thought it was the ms so gave me
opiates
. Now I finally after not eating for 4 days went to our emergency room. Who ignored me for a lady with cramps for 13 hours to be told they think c. diff and take testing items.

Opioid prejudice at the pharmacy
At my local chemist, there are a few members of staff who are rude and hostile towards patients who are prescribed
opiates
. I pick up my prescription every month. When I go in these staff members can be hostile and very rude.

Diltiazem
After being on
opiates
for 20 years, my stomach and bowel are now not working properly and I need daily laxatives and even they don't work well. Over the hospital stay I was unable to "go" for 5 days. I also started getting painful mouth ulcers as soon as I took the first tablet.

Successful .. ish ablation
The hardest part of the procedure was keeping up with the explanation of what was going on whilst high on
opiates
and diazapene. It was also a shame for the guy who was next in the queue as he had to wait an extra hour for his turn.

RLS and Parkinsons
If there is any validity to this proposal then the logical next step would be to start weaning her body off the pramipexole very slowly and with the help of gabapentin or
opiates
if possible.

QOL post , etrike trip to Eaton regional hike & bike trail.
The mobility freedom is wonderful and I can even go pick up my own Kaiser prescriptions (
opiates
cannot be mailed ) for a change or go to appointments, ….. ….. being more self sufficient, and less heavily dependent on other people is really nice.

Still no symptoms
Hi Nearly a year since being told I had decompensated cirrhosis, sadly I've not been able to stop the drinking but have given up the
opiates
. Still doing my best to pack in the drink but it's hard. cold turkey for
opiates
is so easy compared to alcohol.

Can you help with understanding pain-meds doctor?
I’m well aware of Pain Clinics but only the NHS ones and they are anti-
opiates
as well. So again, would you please PM me if you know of or have an understanding doctor who accepts some of us actually need strong pain medication?

frustrated with gp re pain meds.
Ever since I had my stroke in 2018, I’ve not been allowed nsaids, due to the increased risk of further strokes. My then gp prescribed butec patches, which in the 5.5yrs have only been increased twice to the current 15mcg. I was given Tramadol for breakthrough pain which I don’t take too often. A box
