Re: Vacation Reprieve

Rust, I know how you feel. I climbed stairs in my PJs at 4 am. Usually 8 floors up and down twice would do it. I dreaded the flight home but in business Came home to a PET scan and found to have No Evidence of Cancer one year after diagnosis and treatment! Trying to get the most out of whatever I h...

Re: Abilify

BTW I found no studies but at least a blog entry that seemed to reasonably explain why Abilify works differently at low doses: https://thoughtbroadcast.com/2011/09/13/how-abilify-works-and-why-it-matters/ Low dose abilify (around 1mg/d) might actually be worth a try for RLS, because it seems to sta...

Re: Buprenorphine, the good, bad and ugly

Lately my RLS has started again, for about 2 weeks. They wouldn't give me the steroid shot in the right spot. She said she was afraid because of the bone on bone of me my spine as well as the hardware in that area. She did give me 7 lidocaine shots around the lower back area. So that really didn't ...

Re: Melatonin added to the mix

Ann, You said....."I break a 2 mg tablet into 4 pieces and that is all it takes to make me tired within about 45 to 60 minutes after I take it". Do you mean that you take 1/4 of that tablet over a period of time? How much time b/w each 1/4 tab? Thanks! So sorry - I wasn't clear at all. When I use i...

Re: New-Asked to post about treatments

Hi Steve, I started a reply to you and my tablet went wonky and I had some odd keyboard. I was saying that I missed the statement about methadone keeping you awake early on when you were taking it. That's exactly what's happened with me. I've gotten fairly good pain relief but I haven't slept a nor...

Re: Buprenorphine, the good, bad and ugly

Any opioid can cause dental issues. For me, it's dry mouth. I already had a lot of issues, but it's definitely worse with methadone. I already needed full mouth implants and now am a bit concerned to get them.

Re: New-Asked to post about treatments

Wow, my state of mind was not good when I last posted about 10 days ago. I wrote I was on "dopamine 5mg", Methadone is what I meant. It's really not a good opioid for me. I'm using it as needed, 5mg at bedtime if I'm symptom free or have minimal symptoms. 10mg if the pain has gotten ahead of me. If...

Re: Gabapentin post cancer op

I'm currently on 10 mg oxy a day and recovering from my 2nd cancer operation (lobectomy). It's not quite enough but Doc won't go higher dose. He suggested I go on Requip. I believe I tried that before without result. Any thoughts? I don't want to stop the 10mg oxy. I hope the recovery is going well...

Re: New-Asked to post about treatments

I'm in a state of having too many directions to turn to but not in the direction where I should be heading heading yet. I've met with my primary who I've seen the most over time but divided up for a few months while he was on leave and I was in a different hosp for Pulmonary emboli. Back now to my ...

Re: Head roll

I really thought I would be getting more replies. Oh well. It is what it is. I guess I will have to find another way. This will probably be my last post. I hear a lot of people describing their RLS symptoms as a creeping type feeling. That is not what happens to me. My symptoms are like my entire b...
