Shingles injection
I've finally made it down to 1/2mg every other day. My Doctor wants me to have the shingles injection. Does anyone know if this can cause an issue?? I've been reducing the pred for 2 1/2 yrs, very very slowly and haven't had a flare and don't want one at this stage. Appreciate any thoughts. many

Even more advise please!
Hi everyone, I’m trying to get off Ropinirole, I have lowered the dose over the last few days which means I am now on 0.25mg. I also started on 25mg of Pregabalin at the same time I reduced the Ropinirole. My doctor has told me to increase the Pregabalin by 25mg every week till I reach 100mg. I would

Shingles jab
I Have been invited for shingles jab. Does anyone know if there are reported side effects. I had shingles on my face and in my mouth about 10 years ago.

Beds and mattresses
I’m having a terrible time sleeping. I wake up every couple of hours - sometimes even less and I know I’m tired. I’ve got the room totally darkened out and quiet. The temperature is fine too yet every night I waken over and over again. Usually I waken up really hot. I blame my mattress. At the moment

Neupro helps a little
My sleep study doctor said my main issue affecting my sleep is restless leg. He gave me a sample of Neupro which is a patch. It helped a little bit. Last night I tried grape seed extract right at bedtime and I didn't notice my RLS as much. Hope that helped.

Withdrawal from ropinarole
I have been on ropinarole for 10 years starting at 1mg then moving on to 3mg daily. I think I started argumenting because I couldn't sleep any more. I started to wean myself of the ropinarole and got down to 1mg but couldn't go any less because the restless leg was driving me crazy. My doctor put me

Gastric Issues after Meningitis?
I am 8 months post meningitis. I am still struggling with after effects. Trembling, brain fog and numb spots. My question....Anyone have gastric issues? Diarrhea? Mine has been bad last week or so. Appetite has never been totally back to normal. I never can tell if new symptoms are meningitis related

PMR? or not PMR? - that is the question.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of alternative conditions that might be / have been misdiagnosed as PMR?. e.g there appears to be some evidence that Lyme disease may present the identical clinical picture as PMR.

I am not an epileptic.
Had my EEG earlier. All clear for me. He has no advice for me, bar, don't ever stop taking Gabapentin, for the love of God, don't stop. I asked for a 90 day supply of Keppra, of course he said yes. More drugs, why not?

My RLS has become worse!!
From all I've read here, people's RLS gets better with passing weeks of the withdrawals. For me, it has been a reverse case. While the initial weeks weren't so bad, the last week or so has been horrible. I remember even during the withdrawal period that I slept for 4hours straight or on some good days

I dont know WHAT just happened
I've had bad anxiety all day, I was in the car when I felt myself fading away like I was fainting but it felt like a build-up in my brain and body of electricity? I thought I was going to start seizing. I could barely move. I was shouting for my boyfriend to take me to the hospital. I thought I was going

Stomach acid-reducing drugs may raise risk of future allergies
I really don't feel the need to say much as an introduction after all the PPI posts here. However, I shall take one sentence from the paper:
We report an epidemiologic relationship between gastric acid-suppression and development of allergic symptoms.
And then suggest, while PPIs might have their

More advice please!
I’m hoping that after the excellent advice I’ve already received from this Forum you will be able to help again. I previously asked for advice on coming off Ropinirole as I suffered a gambling addiction through it plus I was augmenting. Obviously all the advice was to get off Ropinirole as soon as possible

Sertraline and RLS is there a connection?
I have had RLS on and off for years and taking Citalopram for depression and anxiety. I started taking an iron supplement which did eradicate the RLS at one point. I have been moved over to Sertraline from Citalopram and since then my RLS has been horrendous, like many of the posters on here I've been

3 Months post viral meningitis
I’ve been a member for a few months now, trying to get advice from others or just to read everyone else’s stories. Here’s mine... The end of May I noticed I had swollen glands in the back of my neck and a bad headache. Took some ibuprofen and forgot about it. A few days later I was having neck pain along

Baclofen
In addition to RLS I have a very painful (nerve) condition which I be also been taking Gabapentin for. My nerve pain has gotten seriously out of control even with the Gabapentin so I want to see if Baclofen will work better. In order to start the Baclofen I have to first wean down the Gabapentin. Does
