Weaning off of Sinamet and Mirapex and onto Methadone
When I first started having RLS symptoms my family doctor tried to assist by giving me Sinemet and some other drug with alternating doses but it did not control the leg spasms so I started sleeping on the sofa and listening to the music of the Mystic Moods Orchestra.

overwhelmed
Lockdown and last child leaving for uni caused loneliness and the inevitable comfort eating. I went to doctors with heartburn and discovered it was a HA - stent fitted and new tablets I went home and within days was readmitted with biliary sepsis and statin related hepatitis. Then I went to Mexico

My doctor refused to give me the tests for iron deficiency that I asked for, saying that past tests showed my iron levels are fine. I contacted her again to explain how the tests I need now are different - copying out for her the relevant paragraphs from two research articles on the matter. I also sent

listening to music has transformed my sleep
I’ve suffered terribly from restless leg syndrome since I was a child. Only Having it diagnosed later in life. My RLS definitely comes and goes but when it’s at it’s peak it keeps me up in the night in levels of discomfort only a fellow RLS sufferer can understand. Recently I purchased some wireless

I have PMR and blood pressure just plummeted for no reason. Ideas???
I live in Australia. I started with PMR in late August 2021. It was hit with 50mg of Pred and that stopped the excruciating pain it's tracks. Then the hard part started. I initially knocked chunks off the Pred, coming down really fast from 50mg to about 6 mg in three months. I had the odd bout of neck

Just received the full copy of my blood test where I can see my TSI
My TSI is 1.20 (0.00 - 2.00) Does it mean that I ddi not have Graves and RAI is not right treatment for me? Thank you very much for your opinions.

Go back on Pramaprexol?
I was on Miropex/Pramaprexol for 15 years for RLS until I augmented late 2021. I phased out the Pramapexol slowly as recommended by this site and Mayo Clinic(complete hell),as I began Gabapentin. I hated the side effects so switched to Pregabalin,which I also hated. I now take 100 MG of Tramadol

Inability to work is frustrating me.
I am a veteran Realtor, over 47 years of full time self-employment as a Realtor. Because of this prostate cancer nonsense and it's subsequent treatment, I am finding myself more and more fatigued, overwhelming so. I always kept myself in good physical condition because of my life's career choice. I

Well here I go again! W1R1
So to celebrate my 56th birthday (how did those years fly by) I decided to start C25K again. Doing this mainly to support my partner James as he returns to exercise after having a stent fitted 2 months ago. And what a beautiful morning I chose for this. Got out early before it gets too warm but

Clonazepam
Hi I'm still having a rough time with RLS despite my usual gabapentin and temgesic. My doctor has suggested trying clonazepam in combination with my existing medication and I wondered what experience my fellow sufferers had with it. I've tried other benzo sleeping tablets in the past but the RL always
