Looking for various so called causes of RLS
Can anyone give me a list of ALL the 'causes' of RLS. There have been so many starting with lack of magnesium. I am not interested in the 'band aid' drugs we are all given but rather the suspected etiology (the cause) of RLS. Recently Johns Hopkins Hospital said it was too much glutamine in the brain

Memory issues from using Pravacol
I sure hope that there are people on this site that can give me some help or at least hope. I quit Pravacol 2 months ago after taking it for 6 months... Memory issues!!! I was told that by now things would be returning to my normal but they haven't. I have read that possibly COQ 10 may help --- there

Mucuna Pruriens as a dopamine agonist and Aspartame
A few things I have read - I wonder if people have noticed a difference taking aspartame out of their diet and adding Mucuna Prurients. I personally avoid artificial sweeteners but have not tried Mucuna. "Aspartame is a synthetic, laboratory concocted, genetically modified, sugar-replacement nightmare

My experience with Ropinerole (Requip)
I have been on this drug since 2004. My mother, aunt and uncle have had it also, so runs in my family. About 1.5 years ago I mentioned to my doctor that the dose of .50 was no longer working, so he increased it to 1 mg. About a year ago, i noticed my RLS hitting earlier in the evening, so I started

Confused after many scans. 7 weeks, ivf.
Hi, My Name is Sarah. I recently had IVF which was successful luckily. Last Thursday I went for my viability scan at 7 weeks at the ivf clinic, which is to determine wether I am still pregnant and that it’s not ectopic etc. The nurse carried out the scan transvaginally, she congratulated us that she

Went to Dennys restaurant yesterday
Had DENNY'S CRANBERRY APPLE CHICKEN SALAD Grilled seasoned chicken breast, glazed pecans, apple slices and dried cranberries atop a bed of crisp spring mix. I didn't feel I was missing out as it was delicious and for pudding I had a waffle syrup and strawberries so I really enjoyed it even though

Post Grad Musing! 🤔 Keep going, it really is so worth it! ❤️
Hi Runners A pretty eventful run yesterday and nothing to do with a PB! Although it might be a PB in the amount of obstacles and things that kept NOT going according to the plan. SaskieAllieCat had me musing about my C25K journey so far. I thought I would share my thinking about my not so great run,

Zinc
Since being diagnosed with macular degeneration recently I have been taking a supplement containing lutein. It also contains zinc. I seem to remember hearing/seeing something about zinc being contraindicated for taking when using predisolone for pmr. I have pmrgca, into third year, down, at second attempt

DAs addicting?
I am currently not on anything for RLS. Still struggling with withdrawal from pramipexole. It’s been going on for months. I went to a sleep specialist who’s only plan would include a DA. I told him I cannot take DAs since I get terrible side effects, both while on the drug and after withdrawal. He

Newly Diagnosed
After suffering with Raynaud’s for a couple of years I finally saw a rheumatologist about 6 weeks ago. Blood tests reveal that I am anticentromere antibody positive with Systemic Sclerosis, which I understand used to be called CREST Syndrome. She has organised a whole host of further tests, bloods, X-rays

Tramadol withdrawal
I have mentioned previously that my neurologist wanted me to come off Tramadol. I was uncertain about this but I have had a go. Starting with 200mg I took 0.25 less the first week and I was relatively ok. The second week was a different story! Poor sleep, pain and legs on the go. Suffice to say I am

Dealing with the loss in memory
Hi, I was diagnosed with TLE when I was 18. The thing that I battle with the most is the mood disturbances, crippling depression and severe anxiety. After 4 years of trying to find the right treatment to manage my moods, I was eventually put on a high dose of 500mg Lamictin and 50mg Topalex. Since then

Pneumococcal Immunisation
Morning all, has anybody had Pneumococcal Immunisation whilst on steroids? I've been offered this as a precaution against pneumonia, septicaemia and meningitis. I'm slightly concerned about its interaction with GCA/PMR and/or steroids.
