Leg pain from meth. w/d

[misterkangfish]

I weaned d own from 80mg of 'done by 5 mgs every 2 weeks to 5 mg a day for 1 week. My last dose was on May 15th and I didn't go into real w/ds for 5 or 6 days later. Although it has eased up a lot I still have bad pain in my lower legs, ankles and feet ALL the time. I've tried hot water asprin, ibuprophen and aceteminiphen and can't get any relief. Does anyone know anything else to do about it? Also still have bad energy problem and weakness. I'm not just laying up but am moving around a lot and walking (still forceing myself). Any advice or ideas when some of this might stop? LOVE and PEACE to all. - John

Hva eu looked at the health pagesat the thomas recipe and the amino acid protocol?   many of the supps in there can help tremendously with energy...support hose or compression hose can help the legs along with ice/heat...there are also drugs otc at walmart for rls....there are also some supps fround to be helpful for rls in my journal from a study at my hospital...many are iron deficient....the dopamine that u got during drug use from the drugs can cause some of the aching due to the dopamie depletion at this time......tyrosine and dlpa, methionone help with building back up ur dopamine and with energy as well...exercise helps as much as u can tolerate...bananas and tonic water are also help for some
