Holding Back the Years - features Dr Rangan Chatterjee and a lady with Fibromyalgia
I agree
Opioids
are probably not good long-term for Fibromyalgia due to risks, efficacy seems to change needed stronger doses and also that Fibro is reported to have less opioid receptors.

From chronic opioid pain meds to finding relief with facet joint injections.
I’m happily looking forward to weaning off
opioids
and getting back to living life. I almost didn’t give this treatment a chance due to the Dr. being quite rude about my pain meds and questions about the procedure itself. I still don’t like the Dr. but I love the results.

Does everyone automatically put weight on when taking Pregabalin?
Diagnosed with trapped nerve and unable to tolerate
opioids
. Have been reading horror stories about people piling on the pounds immediately. I have been on 225mgs daily for a month now and have not gained. Is that yet to come? Hope not!

RLS and Disc Herniation
I have tried benzodiazepines,
opioids
, evertthing to treat Parkinson’s and neuropathy. For a long time the best thing worked for me is zoloidem for sleep and plenty of leg exercises.

Opioids for treatment of refractory RLS
The US RLS foundation have posted guidelines for the use of
opioids
in refractory RLS. If you’re having difficulty persuading your GP or neurologist to prescribe
opioids
, print off a copy and use it to help persuade them.

Now have Osteoarthritis too.
Anyway now I have to pin my hopes of relief on a physio referral, which wont be until into the new year or else next phase if that fails I am told is
opioids
which I really really don't want. So I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today.

Constant Migraines
This is one situation where
opioids
saved a life. Have learned how much to take and when. I now have a normal life and my wife and I are raising our grandson.

Hot Flashes
I also take meds for fibromyalgia, gout, osteoarthritis, and
opioids
for spinal pain. I'm just wondering if anybody else out there has these hot flashes that are out of control.

Congenital cervical stenosis
I will not take
opioids
. Does anyone have any advice for me? If I attempt to do anything, I’m in extreme pain. Feels like someone hit me on both shoulders with a baseball bat.🙁

Pred sucks
Hope I get accustomed to these side effects of pred soon, 20mg, often times I think of quitting pred as fast as possible and going with ibuprofen... if I knew I didn't have gca or was not going to get it I'm pretty sure I would opt out of this drug..and people think
opioids
are bad??

Pregabalin - class C Drug
There have been a number of deaths particularly when used with
opioids
, due to respiratory failure Apparently this is due to overprescription by GPs for pain and anxiety and misuse by patients who increase the dose to enjoy the fuzzy high feeling.

Don't eat enough, or often enough..suggestions?
Challenges with thyroid & diabetes 2, along with digestion/elimination problems have left me so confused & discouraged (
opioids
for pain stops body working & metformin keeps it too loose so balancing on a tightrope here).

SCD treatments.
The Haematologists in the UK, try to manage the painful episodes with strong
opioids
e.g. OxyContin, morphine, Tramadol etc. They also try to keep you well hydrated with bags of saline and also increase your haemoglobin numbers by blood transfusions.

All the symptoms of hypothyroidism but told test normal.
I am incredibly constipated even though I have been taken off of
opioids
since having a morphine pump put in. I suffer from chronic back pain due to a botched epidural. My nails are breaking off, my hair is falling out, not in clumps but strands and strands when i comb it.
