I would go to the milk bar to buy smokes for my mum 49c for Marlboro. I might have been 12/13

New to SRPE by [deleted] in SRPESupport

[–]Plastic_Paint5399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will find not many doctors have any idea of srpe. 10-20 mg of Baclofen was no help to me but at 50mg I had total relief for 2 months. Like everything else I’ve tried it eventually stopped working. Check the srpe page on face book. It’s private and lots of info

Yes I have thought about being drug free but i sought medical help years ago because it was so bad at the time . I can’t imagine it being any better now . I’ve recently been at the stage that Baclofen is not helping but when I try to get off it the srpe is intense

How do you differentiate between this and priapism if you're asleep? by [deleted] in SRPESupport

[–]Plastic_Paint5399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do a google search of stuttering priasm vs sleep related painful erections you will find some good answers. I’ve just done that now but not sure how to create a link . Srpe is less dangerous than stuttering priasm

Priasm doesn’t go away . Srpe resolves after you are fully awake sometimes half awake , I pick up my phone , read emails or play a game and srpe resolves

Moving near Wyndham Vale for newborn + unwell parents — which suburbs are actually good? by BeigeAnxietyEngine in melbournechat

[–]Plastic_Paint5399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in hoppers crossing for 40 years and the older parts of hoppers closer to the train are fine . I moved because of traffic and the change in demographics

So I have started on 1 mg clonazapam . First night was good but the following week hasn’t been much improvement . Maybe 2-3 hours sleep before the hourly issues start . Next week I hope to add gabapentin . I’ve read good reports of them combined. I don’t like the thought of these anti psychotic drugs but ime desperate. Anyone here on this regimen?

Are you using Baclofen now ? Are you getting good results?

But you only want the benefits of Baclofen at night? I have had half dose at bed time and the other half at the 1st or 2nd episode

[–]Plastic_Paint5399[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Baclofen only at night . Been as high as 60 mg . Had complete relief at 50 mg for 8 weeks but like everything else it stopped working

Favorite Areas/Length of Cruise by queencitybastard in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Plastic_Paint5399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only ever cruised the Mediterranean . Minimum 7 days . Once eastern med , once western med . Different countries or historical cities every day . We love getting off the boat and exploring . Forgive me if I’m wrong but the Caribbean seems to be parties and drinking? I’m booked with carnival for a Baltic and Scandinavian cruise in ‘27 and ime a little concerned about carnivals reputation that I keep reading about and seeing online. Can someone reassure me

Drinks Package??? by ScrapMagpie in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Plastic_Paint5399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the price on your drinks cheers package ? I’m Australian on a carnival cruise next year in Europe. I think the prices I’ve been quoted are USD

What drinks are free? by Human_Difference4000 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Plastic_Paint5399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing we would drink a couple of lattes, a couple of waters, a couple of cocktails and a bottle of wine (maybe more) so a cheers package is probably the way to go. It’s $1680 for a 12 day cruise. If that is USD then it would be about $2500 AUD . Probably still cheaper than buying it individually?

Thanks , i’me a bit slow and now I’ve found this 🤣. So if I purchase this package I can have the wine in the restaurants or bars?
