Agony of Reducing Ropinerole
I have been weaning off Ropinerole for a while now. I am down from 4mg per day to .5 mg per day. However I when I try to come off or even try .25 mg, my legs always start up. My neurologist reckons my RLS is secondary due to a spinal tumour I have. When I get an attack, my left leg feels it has

Does anyone have any insight on how or if V +O treatment affects insulin sensitivity?
My husband is on V+O treatment, on cycle 7, he also is type 2 diabetic. Ever since starting treatment, he has had to add fast-acting insulin after meals to his regimen. We attributed this to the steroids given during O infusions, but those are now in the past, and he is not able to reduce his A1C and

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results

Any tips on raising HDL please? Thanks
Hi Vegan for almost 30 years now, age 52. Latest bloods. Total cholesterol 2.6 (<5) LDL 1.6 (<4) HDL 0.9 (>1.0) Triglycerides 0.6 (<1.8) Non HDL 2.25 Cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.0 (<5) So, all markers are ok except for HDL. I’ve read that vegans tend to have low HDL. Any tips to raise this please

Latest Fish test results??
I just had another Fish test completed due to the fact that the Ibrutinib that I have been on for almost 5 years is not working as well anymore. In my first Fish test many many years ago I was Trisomy 12 .The new report now shows that I have acquired both deletions of 13q and 17p and still have Trisomy

Has anyone tried Glucotrust capsules and is this product from Maximum Edge any good?
A video landed in my inbox from a company promoting this. Long story about how the presenter had discovered the ingredients / formula from a Dr Kumar, at the time living in the States, now back in India. It apparently reversed the man's diabetes. I am naturally cautious, suspicious even. But I see

leg pain
I have been having terrible tight cramping pains in my legs when I walk. My GP thinks it is fluid retention and has given me a diuretic which does not help. I am wondering if it is PMR . I have been off prednisolone for 18 months now …does anyone had this type of pain in their legs with their PMR

Raised Creatinine in urine
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with PMR in January and am now down to 4.5mg prednisolone. Having piled on the pounds at first I have been on a low carb diet since March. I do eat quite a bit of meat and a recent urine dip stick test showed raised creatinine. Could this be caused by high protein/low carb

Can I switch from 200 mg Lyrica to 1200 mg gabapentin…
all at once? I’m having side effects from pregabalin and was thinking that maybe gabapentin might be better. Can I just stop the pregabalin and start the gabapentin in one day? I’m so tired of the tapering down of the ropinerole until I’m off of it (and when that’s done, I’ll continue the tapering

"Honeymoon phase" in Hypothyroidism?
After a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (an autoimmune condition), there is often a “honeymoon phase” where a small percentage of the pancreatic beta cells continue to produce insulin for a period lasting from a few weeks, several months, to as much as 1-2 years. This honeymoon period continues until the

Fibro & Magnesium Spray.
Evening all. So as I've only been recently been diagnosed with Fibro (although had many symptoms for many years ) and I've been on Pregabalin for a number of years too, I was wondering if anyone else has had much success with using Magnesium Spray?. I did some research and this was something that cropped

Muscle spasm in right hand??? Has anyone else had/ have this?
I can barely use my right hand, I am right handed. The spasms run up to mid arm. Has anyone had a similar problem. I am at my wits end, I don't know how to reduce it. I use magnesium, high doses of Nortritypline and nothing seems to help? I think the issue is coming from my neck? Neck very sore, currently

Can the effects of Metformin, for diabetes 2, cause irregular urinary flow effects akin to that of Prostate Cancer side effects?
I have both Diabetes 2 from March 2020, when started taking Metformin, and Prostate Cancer, June 2022. I have had urinary flow symptoms from March 2020, seem to have worsened, could that be indirectly be a side effect of the Metformin?
