If you can't get an opioid prescribed--or even if you can but don't want to use a strong prescription opioid--you might try kratom, which is a mild, non-prescription herb with opioid properties. I've been using it for the last 7 months to control my RLS/WED. Amazon is carrying it now: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CY1 ... UTF8&psc=1
Good luck to you.
