Addicted to Opioids
I’ve been on Durogesic Patches 50-75mcg for over 10yrs now. Take OralMorph for break through pain or when withdrawing from Patches in last day before changing patch. My Rheumy wants me to come off Opioids. He’s going to try referring to Poisons Unit to get help from them. I’m just worried what do

7 weeks on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
I am on a mission to eliminate the need for Mirapex (Pramipexole). I have been taking it for over 20 years and it has been very effective at controlling RLS even though it took a larger and larger dose to achieve mastery over the “dancing”. When my arms started joining in the Herky Jerky and I was experiencing

Feeling so much better
I've posted about how bad it has been for months, and then been offline for a while. The pain, exhaustion, tears etc. obviously build up.

Newly off Fentanyl Duragesic and all meds. Yeeee haaa!!
I am very recently off Fentanyl Duragesic. I worked so hard for almost 2 years, beginning to taper from 275mcg/hr. Plus heavy duty break through meds, had been off for one full year. "Let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late". I feel so freaking duped by Big Pharma. Never again will I

Lumps and other things
So what I was told was a lipoma on the side of my wrist has turned out to be a ganglion cyst, but in true my style, it is wrapped around the writs joint and goes up in to the palm of my hand. So hoping it will go away or it means a trip to the orthopedic surgeon because of all the tendons and nerves

Sifrol Works!
I've had extreme RLS, night and day. It first appeared when i was building up "mirtazapine" so i stopped with that, but the rls never got away completely. But at that time it was quite bearable and i could easely deal with it. I took magnesium tablets daily, probably a placebo effect but they seemed

Hi all well ive been taken off 25mcg Fentanyl and put on 40mg MST
The fentanyl worked for the first 12hrs then tailed off quickly and caused skin irritation even though I was on Durogesic so my gp has put me on 40mg MST as he does not rate fentanyl as a long term pain killer anyway as they build up tolerance quickly and he rather take them off me now before I get severe

Medications and food to avoid, applies to most of us who has RLS. This is taken from the www.rlshelp.org website..
Drugs and Foods to avoid to improve RLS This section will discuss various drugs and foods that may worsen RLS. Things that cause worsening of RLS in some patients may not bother others in the same way; in fact, others may even be helped by these same medications or foods that worsen others. Please

Help and advice
I have been a sufferer for over 14 years with FM and went through the process of trying everything the docotors asked me to do. I found a lot of the medication gave me cotton wool head or hang over symptons. I eventually got given durogesic patches which for me were life changing as it meant that i could

Matrifen patches
I have just been informed by my G.P & Local Health Board that they intend changing me from my normal Durogesic fentanyl patches to something called matrifen patches. Reason give is that this is a cost effective switch and that money saved can be used in other ways to benefit myself and other patients
