I've had rls for 28 years and been through all the other major meds. My MD is gone until 9/9. He hasn't really been all that much help. The nurse, who can't change a script, has been more help. After months of living hell, I finally got the dosage for Oxycontin right (10 mg at 9pm; 2.5 mg of IR at 10 pm.) That's worked for 5 nights, if you don't count tonight, so my respite might be over. I can hear the torturer at the door.

Anyway, prose aside, and assuming it will start working again; Medicare is denying the Oxy script, even with a Prior Authorization. Does anyone know if resubmitting it will work?

I haven't had any problem with the Oxycontin, as long as I take it at night. I hope this night is an exception and I'll go back to being able to sleep. The MD who's covering for my person has suggested methadone but I've heard terrible things about it. Also, I tried it years ago, but no one has said they looked at that MD's notes to tell me why I didn't keep taking it or what the dosage was; I know I was taking it because I still have some.

Things have been so hard and their still not great. I have a lot of rls from 6-10, but even though I could take more short acting, I don't because taking too much gives me migraines. I just don't feel strong enough to go through another transition. And I can't pay for it out of pocket, $200/mth! I have Good RX, bu the problem is the Prior Authorization. I really resent this; decent medicine, another privilege of the very privileged.

Anyway, I also know and have been told that methadone is hell to come off of. The really bitter pill is that I probably would never come off it. Or if something better comes along, I'd be on a very high dose at that point, which makes coming off it even harder. I've also heard its a much more toxic drug. The upside seems to be price and maybe duration, it could last longer.

But the transition! Working out how much to take and coming off the Oxy, I just don't think I'd make it through. I'm completely worn out. I had a precious 5 nights of 6 hours of sleep a night. I don't want to give that up. It really feels like a rock and a hard spot.

It's really hard not to let loose here. Please write to me if you're in his clinic (now).

Forgive the brevity, there's an axe thru my skull. And apologies for the repost, I forgot that I asked before. I think taking valium with it helped....did they close down the opiate users sub?

....My md recently increased my nightly oxycodone from 5 mg to 15 mg for restless leg syndrome (the bane of my existence.) Now I get enough sleep, but I wake up with a relentless 7/10 migraine every morning. My pharmacist can't offer any help, other than taking tylenol at night with it. I hope someone on this has another suggestion, because he didn't sound all that positive.

cute little white malti-poo or some other ‘oodle or poodle found collarless and wandering on California Street by Little L bakery. non neutered male. friendly! being held at Tail Waggerz grooming for now.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do about this? I've been prescribed 15mg a night for restless leg syndrome. I started increasing from 5mg a night and even thought I've been going "low and slow" it's been hell. And it doesn't always work for the rls. It's only been a few nights, so I still have some hope. That said, I woke up this morning at 3am with a 6/10 migraine and really bad RLS. I wrote to my MD, who is a Fellow in a Sleep Clinic, but I haven't found him to be very helpful. Thanks for anything you care to offer.

will turkeys come and hurt each other fighting over it? My intent is that they and other birds eat the sprouts and develop a taste for the them: problem solved. My concern is obvious. I expect the answer to be "DON'T DO THAT", but it's such an elegant solution, please tell me it will work?

I live behind a capped landfill, bordered by a park and a river, and covered with solar panels. All of this, I've learned by experience is great for turkeys. Not a day goes by that I don't see some enormous tom, it's rainbow organs dangling immodestly around it's neck, turning slowly around the parking lot or courtyard. It's very weird to wake up to a perfectly formed, "G O B B L E G O B B L E". This is a farly densely populated area of a small city and there must be 25 of them living close by. My research spells "massacre by cracked corn."

Could they use all that wattle to detoxify run off? :). A.
