Seeking thoughts on lab results (and my condition in general)
My current neurologist / sleep specialist will not prescribe
opioids
, but has referred me to one who does. I'm meeting with them in September. I'm in Colorado, USA. I'd love any thoughts on these recent iron/lab numbers, which as far as I can tell look pretty good.

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.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/30/health/experimental-pain-drug-vertex/index.html US Cable News Network (CNN) today published this article: "Experimental pain drug may offer alternative to
opioids
for acute pain, study suggests" today which may offer a ray of hope to those of us who are using low-dose

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

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!!

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.

increase iron
I am going to talk to my Neurologist about augmentation and
opioids
. But I was wondering if there is a way to increase my iron levels on my own?

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.

Informative video on updated RLS guidelines
He explains the problems with dopamine agonists and RLS, talks at length about augmentation and how to get off the DA with the help of gabapentin, Lyrica and
opioids
and other pharmaceuticals. The presentation is directed to both RLS patients and medical providers.

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.

I’m still searching for a neuro who prescribes opioids in NY. In the meantime, Mayo Clinic published this video. Oxycontin for RLS?
does anyone here take OxyContin for RLS? According to the Mayo Clinic, it’s the primary opioid they prescribe if DAs lead to augmentation and Gabapentin and similar meds fail to work. https://youtu.be/daAyvu14ics?si=OIcd89hmaHpSUGaC

QoL: "Moonrise in a liminal place"
That is not helped by my taking sublingual
opioids
(Abstral) for pain in my pelvis. Perusal of the x-ray by both me and the consultant concluded that the sequestrum was in no way related to my cancer, but to a much earlier tooth extraction that left part of the root in place.

Because I don't tolerate strong
opioids
l, I had declined the Oxycodone prescription that was offered me. Since I take Codeine-Tylenol for RLS, I naively thought that that would be sufficient for my post-op pain. Well, I was wrong.

Buprenorphine update - one week in
Go and see Dr Robin Fackrell in Bath, or one of the few other consultants willing to prescribe
opioids
(Jools has a list). It’s an uphill struggle but it can be done!

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.
