You are augmented and will need to wean off the ropinerole altogether and this should be done with the support of your doctor. Non drug help is unlikely to help you do this.

This causes me pain through the hip and into the thigh, it's always there but at times can be very severe and becomes non weight bearing. I have the same issue in the cervical ...

Re: Reversing Restless Leg Syndrome
You have been very determined and are to be congratulated.
If you aren't scheduled for your spinal stimulator until mid June what happens until then. Have you or your doctor a plan going forward.

Re: Sugar and Chocolate problems
The sugar free chocolate will be sweetened with something, artificial sweetener. Do you take drinks with artificial sweetener? We are all different and I guess the only way to find out is to give them a try. My husband is diabetic and has often been gifted sugar free chocolate. He finds it doesn't t...

Re: Any Helpful Guidelines for an Augmented DA patient Switching to Methadone?
I take Cocodamol and Pregabalin to treat my RLS. Cocodamol is At the bottom of the opioid scale but I am prescribed the max daily dose of 8 x 30/500 per day. Usually I get by on 6, possibly 7.
