Re: ultram er

Re: here we go again!

Im really not sure why its gotten bad again. It just seems to cycle. As far as doctor shopping, no thats not me. I have stuck with the same people for a long time. Maybe too long!

Re: here we go again!

Thanks! I agree codeine is probably more effective than tramadol. Probably has less drug interactions as well. My neuro is not willing to cross the opiod line . However I think codeine would be better for me.

I haven't posted in a while. Life is too busy these days. I am taking mirapex 0.5mg at night only when I can handle it anymore and I have tramadol 100mg twice daily as needed, which is everyday. This morning when I woke up. My arms were so "restless" felt like "oh no! Not again. "...

Re: neuro appt.

Hematology appointment in the morning. Nervous, I dont know why just a consult. Maybe because the receptionist said " just a consult to see if we are going to do anything." Sounds like the story of my rls life!
