Restless Legs Syndrome
I have RLS and take codeine 15mg at night. My ferritin level got too high last year so no longer on iron supplements. Wondering how successful ALA is and if it is what dose and what time to take it. Thanks in advance

Sternum discomfort
I had a CABG x 3 in July and am recovering well. My main problem is the discomfort/pain where my sternum was wired up. The main problem is at the bottom of my scar. I have lost weight so not much padding, I wondered if this will get better as time goes on. It is uncomfortable mostly when trying to

Weakness after radiation
Hello! I am here for Dad. He just completed twenty rounds of radiation.. but not without complications. He had several bouts of extreme afib, heart attack, and low platelets. Since having another stent, new AFib meds, and two units of blood he has completed radiation but it's still so very weak. He's

Dialysis / RLS
Wow, this sub is a lot more active than the Kidney Disease sub, one would think it would be the other way around. I guess RLS is a lot more prevalent than people think? I never experienced or even heard of RLS before starting dialysis but boy did it hit me hard. It's already hard to sleep while doing

bypass
I am due to go in for a CABG x4. Last Tuesday I was in for the pre op and met the anesthetist etc, and on Thursday had my ultrasound x 2, and an echocardiogram, does anybody know the average waiting time after all that’s been done

Link between dry eyes and throat and PMRGCA? Any ideas?
This is my first post, so it’s a bit long-winded, as I’ve included some context and background. Context: • About 20 years ago, when I was in my mid-50s, I developed dry eyes and dry throat. This was eventually diagnosed as ‘dry eye/dry throat syndrome’. I had my tear ducts plugged to minimise loss

CARBIDOPA 25/LEVODOPA 100MG TAB For RLS
I know this drug was talked about in relation to Parkinson's. My doctor has prescribed it for my RLS when I travel in an airplane. I am only to take no more than 3 tablets per week. Has anyone used this for traveling? Any help? Side effects? Comments, please.

Ropinirole withdrawal
Hi all, newbie here. I was prescribed Ropinirole about 6 months ago, in May my ankles started to swell and got burning sensation in my feet. Saw GP again and he said it is probably diabetic neuropathy but my sugars are well controlled, anyway he put me on amitriptyline. Either of these meds was making

Dapagliflozin side effects

Long-term health of bypass grafts.
Hi, Feel slightly fraudulent as I’m fit and healthy, after a bypass in 2016, but I’m just curious for any insights / opinions re one niggling question. I do fairly intense cardio every other day (mostly) and my BMI’s at the top end of normal. For my age - 61 - I’m fairly fit. My question is: do those

Ovestin and ivf?
Ok, so I had an ectopic from ivf which resulted in removal of part of one of my ovaries. I have been prescribed with Ovestin (estrogen cream) as a result as I am very dry and itchy down below. I know I need to stop this before my next transfer but want to take it until the latest possible date before

Switch to Mucuna
Apologies if this has been asked and answered earlier. I am looking for a guide to switch from C/L to Green tea/Mucuna. Is there a method to calculate green tea against equivalent carbidopa doses? Is brewed green tea better or green tea extract capsule? Is there any interaction between green tea and

Chest wall pain
I am 6 months post NSTEMI and one stent. Generally functioning and walking lots but have near constant chest discomfort, not sure I would call it pain as such. It is nothing to do with exertion. In fact it tends to go away if I walk or run. Also goes away after a bath or if very relaxed. I am feeling
