So I updated my stack. What's in your stack? Does it seem to be helping? Success Stories are Welcome. About 6 weeks ago I cut Methylene Blue out of my stack. My tongue was getting really sore for a long time so I stopped. I don't think this is a side effect of MB, but it has been 6 weeks and

Hi ! My hwp (77) diagnosed 2017. But of course with hindsight symptoms manifested earlier. Started C/L last year : 25/100 @ 3 times a day. Azilect 1 mg once a day . Walking became a really serious problem a month ago. Partly because of ongoing "sciatica" but also freezing a few times a day. Two weeks

Saw the local consultant here in Aberdeen (not a RLS specialist) had a thick pile of paperwork, journals etc to give him. However, these were not needed (yet!) I gave him my last week symptom severity scale and monitor (from RLS-UK.ORG) which he will scan into my notes and encouraged me to bring new

Hi All, has anyone ever heard of, or taken, Health Factory liquid Nano Iron?I have problems with the standard iron tablets given by GPs, even if I take it with vitamin C.

My ferritin is good but my Absolute Lymphocytes was 1.3 (a bit low) and my Absolute Monocytes was .33 so he is recommending Iron Ferrous Sulfate (325 mg) and Vitamin C (500 mg) three times a day. Anyone else taking these. I also take Magnesium Glycinate
