He is. Thanks

Yes, I probably need to talk to him about the augmentation. He's open. He just wants it all to stop for me just as bad as I do.

Ok, it sounded like to me that the Kratom would be worse than the Methadone because you keep needing the higher dose. I guess I forgot that, that's true with Methadone too. The real addicts take such higher doses than we do. I was also wondering, should you still be drinking coffee? If I consumed an...

So, I if I have been augmenting with the Mirapex and have now stopped that, what could happen if I start the Neupro Patch, say, in about a month ? Or should I not even try the Neupro patch ? I guess the answer will be that I could augment with the Neupro Patch too. My husband wants me to try it. I j...

Just now I thought I was going to be able to go to sleep. My left leg stopped jerking, but not the right leg has started. I know I have plenty of Methadone in me. 15 mg. Can't take more, I would itch too much. Oh well, let the pacing begin.

I'm wondering if you should take the Kratom ? (In general) I realize why you are tonight. But down the road from now, is it your best choice ? Especially since it is so addicting and you have to keep increasing the dose ? It seems like to me you would hit your ceiling too quickly. Would Methadone be...

Beth, No, it won't work, if your mouth is open. It's the same thing as a mask that is leaking. You won't get the good sleep. CPAP is related to WED/PLMD. If you have sleep apnea more than likely you can get WED. It is a must that we wear our masks to get the good sleep. Well, it's just after 1 am. M...

I'll be going to the doctor next week to talk about it.

Ta Da! I thought it would NEVER come but today is day 10! Last night I slept 6 hours! First from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on couch, then from 9:30 to 11:30 pm in guest room, and then from 11:30 pm to 2:30 am also in guest room. So 1 hour, wake, 2 hours, wake, and then 3 hours and wake. My back is still s...

The only one I haven't tried is the full face mask. Of course I've only tried one brand. I know there are a lot of them out there. The ones that go over your nose, around your cheeks and under your mouth, work, but put too much pressure on my cheeks. They hurt, plus they would leak too. The reason I...

I have a CPAP, but it will leak via my mouth. Can't seem to keep my mouth shut.

The last three nights have been @#%. Yesterday I was so sleepy I kept falling asleep and missing the end of my shows. I went to bed around 10 pm, fell asleep and got 1 1/2 hours of sleep. Three nights like that now. Last night I got up after my short sleep and did some pacing. Finally I was able to ...

I'm sorry your husband only sort of gets it. My husband gets it, but gets frustrated with me sometimes when I'm grumpy, or keep him up. I was thinking today, how tired and sleepy I am most of the time. Today I was even more sleepy than usual. I also remember when I was a kid. I used to complain to m...

It's always easier for me to pass up sugar when I'm off Mirapex. When I'm on Mirapex I'm hungry all the time.

That's great that you slept. Good for you. I have another question for everyone. After a person stops Mirapex, it's been two weeks for me, what are the morning WED/PLMD ? They either wake me up or come a little later in the morning. Then also some in the afternoon. Don't stop until I take meds. Is i...
