Opioid lawsuits to protect us from ourselves
He is spearheading multi-state lawsuits against the manufacturers of
opioids
and stated that, frankly, he hopes to get big enough judgments to put them out of business. Well, that is all well and good for him to say, but what about those of us who depend on
opioids
for easing our pain?

Alternative treatments for RLS.
I know you guys, know your stuff about restless leg syndrome, & may have read this article, but thought it was worth posting for thoughs who have suffered augmentation from Dopamine antagonist, & are looking at other treatments rather than
opioids
.

Exclusive use of Kratom
However ,sadly, the
opioids

Why have I never known of RLS-UK before now?
So having read more on here and the Christopher Earley webnair/podcasts re
opioids
for the past 4 nights I am now taking 30mg Codeine at night as well as the Ropinerol 2mg-sleep almost all night and the leg restlessness in the day is reduced.

Restarting pramipexole
With the help of
opioids
, I was able to taper totally off of it over the course of a year. I've been totally off it for the past year now but other things I've tried have not worked well. So, I'm considering going back on pramipexole now that my body has 'reset'.

This is our life now we make rules
I did actually treat it I kept overdosing on
opioids
. I do recommend against this as the pain never subsided I just ended up in an ER scaring everybody, though admittedly it was interesting to watch. So how do I/"YOU" cope?

Helping Patients Cope With Chronic Pain
A wide range of analgesic agents are used for chronic pain, including
opioids
, which carry a high risk of dependence. Antidepressants may be especially beneficial because they also target associated depression. Nerve block therapies and Botox injections can help with specific indications.

Is RLS / PLMS really the cause of all my problems ?
I thought that only happened with dopamine agonists and not on opiates /
opioids
? Most of what I have read on forums etc suggest the overwhelming symptoms of RLS / PLMS are pain / uncomfortable sensations and this is what has a serious impact on quality of life.

Nefopam
It was mentioned in a tv programme as an alternative to
opioids
. I am currently on 20mg twice a day of slow release morphine for joint pain caused by my RA plus chronic lower back pain with right SI joint involvement.

Iron, Opioids and great information
Hello all I belong to the RLS Foundation, as do many of you. But for those who do not, I have just discovered, by chance, that some of their best lectures, from some of the best experts, are now available on YouTube. Here is the lecture from Doctor Christopher Earley of the Mayo Clinic, on Iron in RLS

I can assure "YOU" that
opioids
are not really very useful. At least not for Trigeminal Neuralgia. So, my friend, the point is. Without being too crass, open your mouth and ask a question of a professional before "YOU" get scared, ask and learn your risks.

Opioids
I am wondering what
opioids
are used and how much. I’m trying to gather information for doctors. Also, does switching the
opioids
every so often help make them work better as first line med?

Im new here....The long wait to diagnosis begins.
(okay....no) Their only care was to give me the option of staying over the weekend and being dosed up on
opioids
to 'manage the pain' (im seriously not a fan of that and want to get to the bottom of the cause of this horrendous pain! Not just manage it!)

My inclination is that low dose
opioids
might be the answer but we all know how most doctors feel about prescribing
opioids
.
