Re: Roller Coaster Ride

Oh wonderful. My sister is an audiologist and I think there might be something they can do for your ear. At least I hope so.
Maybe only use the neupro when you know you aren't going to drive, like on the weekend. Like on Friday night only. Just to get a little sleep.

Re: Micro-Sleep

It is all about money. It's that way with the drug companies too. They only make drugs that are going to make them a lot of money. The insurance companies dictate to the doctors how to treat people. It's not the doctors deciding how to treat people. It's all about the money. People used to go into t...

Re: Roller Coaster Ride

I don't do that very often. I don't like to take his. Just when I'm desperate and he insists.. He needs them for his pain.

Re: Micro-Sleep

I've known that you were in danger for quite awhile. Just didn't want to say it out loud. I wish you didn't go to work until at least noon. Then you could maybe sleep awhile when you are usually trying to get to work plus the mornings. It's kind of strange saying that there is an end stage to this d...

Re: Roller Coaster Ride

Even with the extra methadone, it still wasn't great. Then hubby gave me a 1/2 an oxy. That finally did it.

Re: Roller Coaster Ride

Today has been horrible, most of the day. From am to pm. More WED/PLMD than I've had in awhile. Have taken 1/2 tab Methadone early, plus I took a second 1/2 tab a few hours later. Still no help. I have been getting in the bath tub every evening, but didn't want to this afternoon. I'm trying to watch...

Re: Hugs for Hubby

I agree, stop the DA's if you get an opioid. That way it doesn't take so long. Plan on 2 weeks.

Re: Roller Coaster Ride

I don't seem to have a pattern other than up and down, good and bad. Just comes and goes. :)

Re: Roller Coaster Ride

Last night I couldn't go to bed, even though I was sleepy because my leg was going. Then when I did go to sleep, my husband says I was restless and moaned all night. I think that was about my hip. So he didn't sleep until I finally settled down. It is crazy. I thought I slept from 1 to 7 last night,...

Re: Pramipexole and serious side effects

Who knows what will happen until you go through it. I'm in the bath tub in hot water when it's bad for me. Plus I used the TENS unit on my legs when I quit cold turkey. I wasn't on such a high dose as you. Good luck what ever you do.

Roller Coaster Ride

It seems to me that we are on a roller coaster all of the time. Up and down. For a few nights, my leg was quiet. Then last night it went nuts. I was in a meeting and had to stand, pace and rub my leg to get through it. The whole time I was thinking I should just go home and get in the bath tub. This...

Re: Article in Newspaper

What absolutely BS that you can't leave a post unless you use Facebook! I don't use Facebook for anything except close family. That shouldn't be allowed. I wanted to tell Jean about our group here and that we would be pleased to have her join us. Guess I won't! Where did they say this? In the artic...

Re: I guess that I will give up !

Ok My leg seems to have settle down again. I'm at one tab of Methadone. I have taken an extra half a couple of nights when my leg woke me up about 4 am. So it's not too bad. Thanks
