Which iron supplement is the best and what dose?
But had a blood test this morning and my ferritin levels are 48ug/L, serum iron is 14.1 and serum TIBC 53.7 and the transferring sat index 26% When I talked to my doctor last week, having sent her 5 articles and a video about the new iron approach to RLS, she would not agree to giving me
opioids

Attn US RLS Opioid patients
By now you have likely heard that new guidelines on prescribing
opioids
have been released. Unfortunately, RLS was not considered in the update. This change will fuel the RLS Foundation’s advocacy work to ensure a carve-out for RLS in the future.

Help from those taking Methadone
My understanding is that if you take methadone other
opioids
won’t work for pain. Is this correct?? If that is true, if I go back to oxycodone for RLS wouldn’t that solve the problem? I just don’t know. I have to have something for pain after this procedure.

Problems in U.S.A. Refilling Opioids/other controlled substances
They’ve tightened up their policies re:
opioids
so much, it’s putting patients at risk. Last month, I submitted refill requests every day for 3 days prior (what I’ve always done) but got the message “ this is an early refill request & what’s the reason for the early refill?”

Shout at the Moon
I then asked him about my
opioids
and the suggested daily dosage to maintain treatment. I'm taking 10mg Slow release twice daily, I'm given 15mg immediate release, but he asked me not to take them regularly, just every few weeks.

Insomnia from Temgesic - Drug Combination ?
I have tried most of the drugs available for RLS over the years- including different
opioids
. I have been taking .200mc Temgesic with 0.25 Zanax every night for over a year. This has been fairly successful- usually having one or two RLS episodes a night and some insomnia.

osteoporosis pain medication
The gp offered me codeine morphine etc but I can’t touch those or ibuprofen style medicine so I was wondering if anyone has been prescribed alternatives to
opioids
and I do not get on with tramadol either and haven’t tolerated never pain meds so I’m worried there isn’t much left.

Insomnia from meds
Does anyone have advice for managing insomnia from when they take
opioids
? This has always been a challenge for me. Nothing to do with rls keeping me awake.
Opioids
have always made me a little bit wired.

Insomnia add CBD oil
CBD oil acts on different receptors than
Opioids
and THC . If you are taking low dose CBD with THC or medical marijuana and you still suffer insomnia add extra pure CBD oil.

Restless legs destroyed my life.
Hi after an excruciating withdrawal from
opioids
and methadone I thought my life was just beginning, however I then started suffering with rls I thought it was just part of the withdrawals and would pass in time.

After recovery from DAs augmentation
Are there examples of folks recovering from DA augmentation to the point that they no longer need any medication (ie:
opioids
)?

Help! Horrible pregabalin side effects
I am really trying to give the alpha-2 delta ligands a fair try before concluding that I have refractory RLS and will only get relief with
opioids
. But I am afraid to stay on the pregabalin much longer because it will just get harder and harder to wean off the longer I take it.

Holistic first consultation of RLS sufferers with their doctor and use of intravenous iron therapy
See my discussion on iron therapy and dispelling the ‘fallacious fear of raised ferritin’ (not the sensible scientific care in avoiding iron overload) Discuss treatment options - intravenous iron, alpha 2 delta ligands ,
opioids
and only if absolutely necessary………………dopamine agonists. 9 For those
