Experiences with

Opioids

Also not wanting opioids. Not sure what to try next but someone mentioned CBD Oil. Any help would be hugely appreciated. My go to meds are paracetamol which help but when bad nothing touches it like NSAIDs hope everyone is having a lovely weekend 😎😎

After long term DA use, many doctors, an iron infusion, opioids, etc.? Do they actually have you lie there all night without any meds or help? Would I learn anything? It is hard to imagine that much could come from it, but I would love any input from the forum. Thanks very much!

I had a DEXA about 3 week's ago having been suffering with 2 fractured vertebrae for almost 2 year's. I have been begging for a scan since they found the fracture's on an Xray 2 year's ago. When I , eventually, had the scan the Radiographer confirmed that I have 2 wedge fracture's, the 2 vertebrae

I tried them opioids, like the addictive Codeine. they had little or no affect. Why are they giving me Antidepressants for Pain?

Hi, I’ve just arrived. I have only recently begun suffering from RLS. I’m on a ton of very strong pain killers for Fibromyalgia, CRPS, a bowel disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Acute Anxiety & Clinical Depression & more. So my pain meds already include: Diazepam, Oxycodon, Fentanyl Patches, Zapain

hello fellow sufferers diagnosed with fibro a few years ago , through trial and error on different meds , i had 3 or 4 different pain meds , able to get on with life .then my doc wanted me to go to a pain clinic , the worst thing i agreed to . the clinic informed my doctor to stop giving me opioids

Hi, I restarted Pregabalin in Feb. this year partly I have to say out of desperation, there being nothing else prescribeable available to me, GP had allowed me to trial Codeine but it took 90mg to suppress symptoms and there was no way that was going to be viable long term, more potent Opioids were

My doctor was horrified at the thought of prescribing opioids and I suspect he won’t consider this. What are other peoples experiences? I have read a lot on here about buprenorphine which I believe has a ceiling effect which means dangerous amounts of dosage are not possible.

GPs usually have to keep a strict record of opioids and I understand this. I do not know what I will do if the buprenorphine fails for me. As everyone knows on this site RLS is a very cruel disease.

Although the Oxycodone did take manage of my pain once he increased my dosage to 10 mgs (my doctor discovered that he had to give me more than 5 mg every 4 hours, because my tolerance for opioids was high due to 5 years on Tramadol).

He was also quite firm that NHS policy was against prescribing opioids, (Buprenorphine or Oxycodone) for obvious reasons.

Hi all. I haven't been here for a while because of various problems. I have been reading through the post's and I cannot believe how much a lot of you know. I asked my Dr. a year last January if he would refer me for a DEXA Scan but for some reason he wouldn't do it! I had been diagnosed with 2 vertebral

Are the medications that work on the brain does like opioids do. I don’t want to seem like an addict. I already struggle to take myself to the dr or hospital when I’m I real extreme pain, because I don’t want to seem like a drug seeker. I really want to be able to focus like I can on the pain meds.

Which isn’t helpful when I work full time, I’m in the uk so my doc won’t prescribe opioids, I’m already taking Gabapentin and that’s not helping!

The advice was to encourage secondary prevention the use of preventers and LOW DOSE MORPHINE ... extract: Opioids in patients with COPD and refractory dyspnea - PubMedhttps: //pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34507574/ I ask you if any of you have tried this therapy and also

By the way RLS sufferers should be prescribed opioids I’m not against believe I’ve taken them so don’t get the wrong idea here I guess I’m just upset and needed to vent

I wonder if anyone has experience or knowledge about the use of a variety of opioids for rls in the short run, I.e. using a different one each time to avoid addiction or dependency. Over a week I might use Tramadol twice, OxyContin once or twice and the same with Hydromorphone.

When I wrote my last post I was so full of hope and felt happy again. I had forgotten what that was like! However, my original Dr. has overruled my new Dr. and once again I am getting no help or support and I am feeling so depressed. I have had 3 day's where the pain has been unbearable and yesterday
