So I'm armed I've written my rls story which is sad reading and I've saved some of the links u provided onto my main screen on my phone and printed

New and new meds too
I can’t tolerate
opiates
or codeine so my pain relief options are limited and I’ve exhausted the physio route! Any insight gratefully received.

opiates

Another post another ailment🤦♀️
Hello again, just a quick question, I’m already on anti-sickness tablets but have the most awful nausea, especially in the morning.

Nightwalkers Magazine from the RLS Foundation and opiates
They were describing some of the studies on
opiates
and RLS. There was lots of information on the ramifications of using
opiates
like oxycodone and methadone for RLS treatment.

Thought for the Day - raising our profile
I’m hoping to reinforce with more from Shumbah who seems to be the worlds RLS expert in
opiates
. I suppose it’s understandable that doctors get defensive when faced with something they know little about. If you go in armed with loads of information they might think they’re getting ambushed.

My life is done...
I live with the pain daily and the only way to deal with the pain is to rely on
opiates
. I’m not prepared to keep upping the dosage. My bones are too weak for surgery. I’m 64 but feel 84. My life is over. I can’t go on with this never ending pain. Life is a bitch then you die. 😢

How did my dad get so sick so fast? Treatment emergent metastatic small cell cancer of the prostate.
I can't tell if he is slightly worse again, as he was given
opiates
for pain throughout his trunk earlier in the day. I suppose the fact that he was conscious despite that was a good sign. Maybe he's bottomed out. Somehow, he is in good spirits, or at least putting on a good show for us.

Lomotil works better for me
Loperamide has not worked for me at all but my problems have been episodic, not chronic. Lomotil stops it dead in less than a day but is, of course, and opiate requiring a prescription in the US.

what isthmus usual maintenance dose of the Neupro patch?
So far, the only thing that has absolutely worked is Oxycodone and the medics are not happy with anyone taking
opiates
long term. I have always kept on the same dose and not kept increasing- definitely not an addict!

18 years with metastatic prostate cancer – operation number three, but no good news for me – the end game begins.
(I’ve had this issue after every operation, and it’s only stopped once I’ve managed to ween myself off the
opiates
).
