Alcohol - Minimum unit pricing Wales.
Scotland’s drug-related death toll has increased by 27% over the past year to reach a record high of 1,187, putting the country on a par in terms of the fatality rate per capita with the United States, where synthetic
opioids
such as fentanyl have devastated drug-using populations.

Don't just want more pills with more side affects👎🏻 Feeling swamped 😩
Hi I care for my mum and at the moment I’m suffering debilitating back pain ,I can use nurofen patches that help best for someone in my situation as with
opioids
I’m not any use.

opioid induced hyperalgesia
She can still get the relief she needs without the side effects of
opioids
and even without the psychoactive effects of marijuana. I'm so beyond grateful for her team of doctors once again. Now our next big hurdle is waiting to get scans done and see what they show.

Beta-Endorphin (or make your own opioids at home)
With so much talk here on the forum about off-label drugs and supplements, I thought I would throw in another "miracle" substance you can make in your very own body. This is also a follow-on to a post of mine from a few months ago asking about how important rest was to fighting cancer, hoping to find

Medical cannabis, safe, effective for elderly
src=WNL_infoc_190523_MSCPEDIT_AGS&uac=97343EZ&impID=1971977&faf=1 Interesting read, particularly reduction of
opioids
. Might give reassurance for some to try? (Might not help PMR directly, but a good night’s sleep will help, plus any additional aches and pains may reduce?)

Opioids misuse and money
There was an interesting programme on BBC Radio 4 last night - File on 4,
Opioids
: A Painful Prescription. Here's a link to it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00050s0 It raised loads of interesting topics, but I'd just like to reference one really - clinical trials and what happens afterwards.

Taxol and fatigue
My palliative care NP is thinking to change my pain meds over to methadone from
opioids
. She said methadone does not cause fatigue. In any event, I am told that the fatigue is cumulative on Taxol. I have had 6 infusions thus far.

A question about pain in legs.
I tried
opioids
but even at the highest dose, they didn't work, and fentanyl patch the same. I am scared thought that I will augment on the Neupro patch being another dopamine agonist, but am not going to increase the dose and will take drug holidays to try to circumvent that.

Possible Nerve damage...what do I do?
The specialist is staying away from
opioids
, but says Ketamine IV treatments should help. He literally looked at my arm for a solid 15 minutes, based on his tests he said I had nerve damage. I dont know what else to do...

Warnings on packaging
Health experts welcomed the move, saying
opioids
can cause "life-altering and sometimes fatal addictions". https://www.bbc.com/news/health-48082736?SThisFB&fbclid=IwAR3cDmO2t7DqxJlz-N6cMRkmmSAcnsVoIhgm5yi970xThH1pKyThA_61cSA

The latest on my battle with sciatica
Please don't say, "Be careful with the
opioids
." I understand the dangers, but as I said, they blessedly help with the pain. Anyway, here in the USA to doctor is not going to continue prescribing them.

Starting to take LDN for unbelievably severe anxiety depression and pain.
I did get off of
opioids
about little over two years ago. I've only taken a few recent doses of Norco. But not sleeping doctor says I have no endorphins. And he's right every little thing hurts extra bad.

MRI failure
Well, these
opioids
do NOTHING to relieve the pain. They don't touch it. I just don't know what to do. There is no break from this pain. It is 24/7. I want to go out on the streets to get heroin. I need the strongest pain reliever known to man. I'm losing my mind, I really am.

It wasn't easy, but I'm still here ...
My 7 day Coma and Multiple Organ failure was due to my choice to use Bourbon instead of
Opioids
for the pain of my 2nd broken back. My healing took 5 years due to homelessness after being released from the hospital.

Managing pain .....or not!
For instance all
opioids
can cause constipation and this can have really extreme effects in older people.

Spring has sprung
Opioids
are supposed to stop the pain. They really do not, take to many and hospital for “YOU” my friend. Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) is supposed to slow the progression o our illness. IT DOES, slow it but not cure it. Nothing does.

Calling All USA Suffers This is Your Chance to Help Us All!
Hi, I know there are a number of people on here from the US and there is some very important legislation about to be made that could affect us all or at the very least those of us with Refractory RLS where nothing BUT
opioids
will help.
