I wish I was on painkillers...but I am not. I take Alka Seltzer, or panadol,or an anti-inflammatory for pain and depending upon which type of pain. These are all over the counter. In OZ they allow codeine over the counter,it is mixed with panadol.When in tremendous need I may take that but it's quite isolated as all it does is make me feel dizzy.

The twitching has eased up some though. But I just had an ankle twitch as I typed this.

I remember along time ago when I was hospitalised they put me on morphine.I had myoclonus on that and just as I was going to sleep I'd pop up in terror. As you say LJ, narcotics do cause some of these issues.
