Re: Reversing Restless Leg Syndrome
The burning in your legs sounds like neuropathy. Mine is controlled with pregabalin though I know you don't want to take any medications.
6/7 hours sleep is a blessing.
I also use a cpap machine and it changed my life.

Welcome to Mjm
Saturday 11 May 2024 Welcome today to Mjm who I has lived adult life very sleep deprived. RLS definitely altered Mjm's ability to manage everyday stressors, diminished the ability to be career successful and has left Mjm with personal doubt. RLS affects all aspects of our lives and it feels like we ...

Re: Methadone on backorder for nearly a month!
Views, I am so happy for you. It must have been such a nervous time waiting until it was in your hands.
As you say, now to work n your stash. I am fortunate. I use less (cocodamol) than prescribed and my stash steadily increases.

Re: Methadone on backorder for nearly a month!
This is so awful that meds are unavailable to this extent..
That you spend hours on the phone getting nowhere.... the frustration is soul destroying, while also trying to cope with uncontrolled symptoms.
I feel so much for all of you.

Re: Codeine
I am in the UK and my Dr nearly had a fit when methadone was suggested. I'm fortunate that the cocodamol at max dose works for me.
Bear in mind that medication for rls works best if taken in advance of symptoms.

Re: Codeine
I have been a sufferer for 40 years and if untreated I would have rls pretty much 24/7. I am prescribed cocodamol 30/500 x 2 by 4 times daily. Mostly I only take it 3 times. Occasionally taking one during the night. I am also prescribed pregabalin 300mg twice daily for neuropathy and this has the be...

Re: Newbie with RLS for 25+ years
You are taking ropinerole 2mg twice daily and this is much too high a dose. 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. If your doctor is understanding and would prescrib...
