I am sorry that your neurologist won't prescribe any opiate based drugs, but I am glad to hear that they help you. I have been living on them, and thought that maybe I was crazy, as everything I have read indicates they do not help TM, and should not be prescribed. But they do help, and yes, I am not the only one! I find they "quiet" the crawlies and the aching better than anything else. My GP has me on hydro morphine contin 2 times a day, and percodan as needed, as well as the standard lyrica. Perhaps you could try your GP. I have found that Robaxacet works well too. The one mixed with asprin rather than Tylenol works the best.
