recommendations for high cholesterol med please
I stopped taking my cholesterol meds in November, just tested again and it's now 371. For RLS I'm now on gabapentin (100mg) and .5mg requip (need to transition off). My RLS is the best it's been in years! However, my doc wants me to continue to take the pravastatin (80mg) for the high cholesterol

While I remember….
While I was sharing a four bay ward post hip replacement, two ladies - who had a total knee replacement and the other a half knee replacement - told me that although, like me, they had a spinal block plus sedation they both could hear the sawing and hammering and what the surgeons were saying…. but

struggling with feelings when people announce pregnancy
Me and my partner have been trying for over a year. We are at the stage where we have been referred to a fertility specialist and waiting blood tests and sperm analysis results. Everytime someone I am close to announces they are pregnant I take it really bad which my partner doesn’t understand why. One

RLS and antidepressants
I’d be grateful for advice on this, as I feel I would benefit from an antidepressant. I’ve had RLS for decades, getting gradually more of a nuisance in the last 10 years or so, and have taken Codeine 30mg for several years, which helps to an extent, sometimes! I know antidepressants make RLS worse. I

Bye Bye Tramadol
Since I started methadone a couple months ago, I understand better about the difficulties I started to have with Tramadol. BTW, I went cold turkey off Tramadol, because methadone would negate it anyway. I realize now that after 4-5 years on Tramadol I was augmenting badly. I didn't realize what was

Understanding my RLS Symptoms
Hi togther, I am new to this board and registered because my RLS spread to my arms, shoulders, back and neck one week ago and now I am really scared, because having an almost overall RLS is terrible.

Buprenorphine finished. What alternative opiates are available?
After four weeks of insomnia and continued PLMs on 15 mgc patches, I shall abandon the treatment. I’d be grateful for advice on a.) potential withdrawal issues, and b.) alternative opiates.

Suffered since childhood
Here's what works for me... I've been able to manage (pain and discomfort) RLS a couple different ways..In the beginning I used requip and Ultram until Ultram because a so called problem drug(I never had any issues with it) I used it for a couple of years before requip became available and then used

Lessons from last Dr. appt: drug testing for kratom and a Suboxone issue
Hi, All. I went to a new doctor last week and she did a blood test which gave immediate results. Posters have mentioned being worried about kratom and drug testing…but she said there is no test for kratom...just wanted to pass that along. The Delta 8 gummies showed up, as did Suboxone. I learned another

Vaginal bleeding following bowel movement.
I have had a pessary ring in place, successfully for about 10 years. I am using vaginal oestrogen crem. Recently had a slightly difficult bowel movement bowel movement, after which I experienced slight vaginal bleeding. I will make an appointment with my GP, but wondered if anyone else had experienced

methadone and shortness of breath
Hi all, Apologize in advance for length of this post. I've had RLS for since my early 40s and spent about 14 years on DA drugs. A not unusual story with augmentation and switching over to pregabalin about 3 years ago- but the pregabalin not being entirely effective for symptoms. At that time I was

Treatment of RLS with Pramipexole
I was diagnosed with RLS about 6 months ago. My consultant prescribed Ropinirole but after reading adverse comments about it , I told my GP I did not want to take it and I am now taking 300mg of pregabalin twice per day. Unfortunately my symptoms are not improving . My GP has now prescribed Pramipexole

Tramadol has been a life saver for me
I try to alternate between mirapexin(unfortunately) and tramadol. Its the only thing that seems to work for me.

Burning Mouth Syndrome
I haven't been on here for a while so, apologies. I have had pneumonia twice in the past 8 weeks & have been left with a terrible burning pain in my mouth. Has anyone ever had this? If so how do you treat it. Dr say there is no cure for it, it is driving me insane. Jackie

RLS under anesthesia
Has anyone had RLS while under anesthesia ? I didn't know it would be possible but my Dr told my husband I was probably a secret opioid addict because my legs were twitching a lot during the procedure...... 1. I don't take opioids. Even when I tried them for RLS years ago it didn't really work and
