Hello Beth: Thanks for your help. I found that Zopiclone is no longer allowed in the US and not much in Canada. Plus I found the following small excerpt from Health Canada >> Treatment with IMOVANE should usually not exceed 7-10 consecutive days. Use for more than 2-3 consecutive weeks requires comp...

Thanks for the replies Beth and Ann:) I am taking Emtec for pain. The pain that I am enduring right now is pretty nasty. The emtec does take the edge off the pain a bit for a while. By no means does it rid me of pain. I totally understand that acetaminophen is not good for the body & has devasta...

There are ..so far..two more scheduled.

Hello again...........
Sorry I don't mean to complain.
There's always someone worse off than me.
Guess I am being selfish...I don't know.
After having such a WED free time..hehe I did get spoiled.

Thank you Beth!!! Yes; things had been wonderful for quite a while...then he (the new doc) decided to take me off the nightly dose of dilaudid. All well and I went off of it straight away. Of course he as well asked me to decrease the emtec..and I did. However; this resulted in an increase in the re...

Hello Steve and I wish you all the best with your running!!! This is awesome !! Myself; I had several surgeries that do not allow me to run; (severe back surg. cancer surg, and the knees to name a few) however; I was an avid walker and I miss it so so much. Praying that soon I will be able to walk a...

Hello Steve and I believe you are correct! I just read up on the Neupro Patches and sounds very interesting for sure. For now I am not totally sure about the patches but ..as stated they sound interesting. I am very happy you are receiving such good results:) Sure hope this continues for me as well....

Hello Steve: The only side effect that I am experiencing is that I am tired from 600 mg of gabapentin/ 4Xday compared to the *prior 500 mg of gabapentin /4Xday. As well I was tired for about 3 to 4 days at that time...same as now. No problem I just rest for one or so hours. Before that I was taking ...

Yes and thank you Polar Bear; I am so happy plus my husband and I cannot believe it ! I understand a lot may be the gabapentin....in any event it all doesn't matter...as long as I stay this way. In the meantime (no matter what happens) I can once again enjoy the utmost luxury of sitting at a compute...

Hello all and it's been a bit since I posted an update. In the meantime I am seeing a different doc! He sees me each week and is very very interested in WED/RLS etc. I am now taking the max for *pain (so to speak) of *gabapentin (neurontin) and it's been a battle but to date the WED's are at peace. ...

Thanks again Ann:)
