Weaning off ropinirol
Hi! I have been told before but can’t remember how to wean myself off ropinirol, I’m currently down to 0.50mg at night but if I go lower than that I don’t sleep at all! Which isn’t helpful when I work full time, I’m in the uk so my doc won’t prescribe opioids, I’m already taking Gabapentin and that’s

Lump on my arm after angioplasty and stent insertion
Hi, I had a HA a year ago and underwent angioplasty where they put 4 stents in. After the op as they were relaxing the clamp on my wrist, I had a large loss of blood under the skin, they put pressure on the bulging area and all was fine. A few weeks later I spotted a small lump at the site of the blood

ADT options for BCR oligometastesis
Recent Auxmin and PSMA scans show that my husband has BCR oligometastesis (MRI shows nothing). It seems there are two different treatment options/opinions: 1. Lupron OR Eligard OR Firmagon OR Orgovyx for a few months and then radiation, then continue hormone therapy for 1-1.5 years 2. Lupron OR Eligard

THC O- a 1 person mini experiment
I got my THC O in the mail last Monday and have taken it all week. Here are my personal conclusions. Keep in mind this is just my experience. It may differ for others. DOES IT WORK: Yes. It seems to have the same efficacy, mg to mg, as normal THC. WOULD I RECOMMEND IT: No. Not if you have other options

Sleep Tracker Recommendations?
Hi all, I'm 53 and have had severe refractory RLS and PLMD for over 30 years now. As you can imagine, or probably know yourself, lack of sleep has been a nightmare for a long time. I'm looking for recommendations for sleep trackers as my doctors want to know when and how long I sleep. Because of the

Low blood pressure
Hi all, 1 year on from my stent and all going well, however for the past week, I've been getting dizzy spells. I went to my gp who diagnosed low BP and told me to keep hydrated and rest, which I have done but still getting the dizzyness. It feels like a very mild electric shock in my head sometimes

A couple of personal anniversarys one biggish and one huge.
Twelve months ago I was moved from Shrewsbury cardiac ward to Wolverhampton so that I could be given a angiogram, so I smoked my last cigarette exactly 365 days ago to the minute, I stubbed it out and got into the ambulance at 09.00, and I was not allowed outside of new cross for another eight days.

Slight swelling and pain in right hand one week post angiogram procedure. Should I be worried?
My procedure went well and I didn’t require a stent which is good news. I’m only needing to take statins. However 5 days post procedure I noticed the swelling on my forearm just above wrist ( opposite side of wrist to the wound site which is healing well). I did rest it post procedure followed all guidance

Tramadol + Gabapentin
I have been on 100mg Tramadol and 1200mg Gabapentin for about 8 years now (after all the DA’s and augmentation). This last year getting up once or twice a night has turned into 3+ times and some very bad evenings and I believe I have reached tolerance in Tramadol. I won’t increase above 100mg as I fear

Monomil after stent?
Hi all, I had a stent fitted yesterday and the pharmacy discharge letter says that my monomil has now been discontinued. Is this normal? Will it do any harm if I continue to take it until I get clarification from the cardiologist? Cheers.

Just got CPAP
Just received a CPAP this week after several months wait. Tried it the first night using a full mask. Stopped using after 1 hour because of sore throat, sore nasal lining. Too dry! Will try to use on a Friday night with higher humidity setting. My history: major LAD heart attack with complications 23

RLS and Mono (Epstein-Barr virus), any correlation?
Hi all, I'm testing an hypothesis about RLS and mono today. Short story, I had mono symptoms for months about two years go. I tested reactive for EBV VCA IgG EIA (mono) twice over a few months period. It eventually got better, but I still get those same symptoms randomly for a few days or a week at

Recent echo after A/F diagnosis
Had a 3X CABG 19 years ago ( I'm 69 now) and just 3 months back had a bout of A/F which was treated with the usual Bisoprolol and Warfarin (bad reaction to Apixaban so that was a no go). Had the echo 3 weeks ago and was given the results yesterday - valves working well but Ejection fraction down to 40

Energy Drinks post Stent
I had a heart attack in 2016, and a stent fitted the week after. Been on standard meds ever since. I've had no angina, no issues and I train hard in the gym 6 days a week doing both hard cardio and weight training. I can cycle miles with no issues, and train with weights for 3 hours with no issues,
