pudendal pain and xtreme sweats
From researching, medications are mentioned, is it due to the
opioids
and is there a proper dosage to alleviate these wrenching sweats? Any input would be greatly appreciated Thank you

Pain Relief Help and Information
[/i] [i]
Nothing is helping and each time I call the doctor it's like he fobs me off because he will not give me anything with
due to past addiction but anything with
opioids
is the only thing that will help the pain.

Hello, I’m new to this community as my husband was recently diagnosed with MS.
We love our MS specialist but she cannot prescribe
opioids
for his breakthrough pain in shoulder. Went to a pain doctor who is trying to get him to swap from Baclofen to Tizanidine, which it took him months to adjust to.

I know that
opioids
are the last option and I will use if necessary but I am getting a lot of resistance from family members about using
opioids
. Please I need some reassurance!!

We've tried Botox, acupuncture, prolozone therapy, migraine medication, prescribed
opioids

Having difficulty getting a prescription for opioids for RLS
I have been to see my doctor and discussed the use of
opioids
with him and he is not totally against considering prescribing them and he told to see if I can find out how others in the UK have managed to get a prescription. He appears to feel that his hands are tied in relation to prescribing them.

How to switch from pramipexole to pregabalin?
Neither the neurologist I have been to nor my usual doctor knows anything about tapering off or supplementing with
opioids
for refractory RLS. Would appreciate it if someone could help me with a taper schedule and suggest an opiod so I can maybe get some sleep at night.

why docs don’t want to prescribe opioids for RLS….😔
With all the recent total panic by docs on not prescribing
opioids
, I thought I would just attach Andy Berkowski’s excellent piece on why we are often being refused
opioids
now and almost certainly in the future at least for sometime.

looking for a neurologist
I currently have a neurologist whom I rate quite highly but who cannot prescribe
opioids
as they are not on the formulary of the hospital where she practises. She has however asked my GP to prescribe Oxycodone and I have been on Targinact, and now Longtec , 3 times a day for a few weeks.

My response to the AASM Guidelines For RLS
Tramadol is an opioid and as it is mentioned in the discussion
opioids
in general help RLS. I could understand being conditionally against it as it can lead to augmentation.

The recent AASM Draft Guidelines
Why not all
opioids
as there are studies on the others including buprenorphine showing they help RLS. Why strong for IV iron and only conditional for ferrous sulfate? When the Mayo Algorithm says one should try iron first except in 3 conditions.

Opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency
Hi everyone, It appears that
opioids
can cause adrenal insufficiency. This is something I have not seen mentioned here. Does anyone know about this? Here are a few articles.

Ropinerole augmentation
She is also good about
opioids
if needed PRN. BTW I am 70 years and my father developed neuropathy in his 80's but absolutely hated the sedative effects of Gabapentin. He and I have similar responses to meds in general, so I am somewhat apprehensive about gabapentin.

Feeling guilty for using pain meds.
I work 50 hours plus a week and doing everything i can to keep afloat.After trying every pain medication under the sun, unfortunately the only kind that gives me relief are
opioids
. My GP has been fine with this over the years but now wants me to reduce.

Low dose opioids
Hi, Does anyone know a doctor in the UK South East who I can see privately who will prescribe low dose
opioids
? I'm on 1800mg gabapentin and still having very bad symptoms. Thank you!

THIRD TIME LUCKY
He thinks I’m mad not to continue with Pramipexole and understandably he is not keen to give me
opioids
. But, he is starting to listen to me, so there is a chance. My question is this: what can I ask him for to guide me through the last weeks of tapering?

Update on first visit with Neurologist
She reassurred me about the use of
opioids
citing several other patients she has using it with great success, BUT, if it did not suit me then there are alternatives.
