General anesthetic and Parkinsons
In preparation for my DBS procedure next month im going to hospital to have an MRI under general anesthetic this coming Sunday. I've read that the most common drugs used to anesthiatise are not good for people with Parkinsons given they Disrupt dopamine, and can really affect their post procedure recovery

RLS and iron
HOW TO HAVE YOUR IRON STATUS CHECKED IRON INFORMATION FOR RLS PATIENTS As we know, low iron in the brain is one of the two major causes of Restless Leg Syndrome. (The other is a dopamine imbalance in the brain. In any event, RLS occurs in the brain - it is manifested in the limbs.) With regard

Buprenorphine
Hello Everyone, I haven't been here for a while, I thought I'd add a bit more info about my rls journey. I'm 51 now & have had rls since I was a child. After slowly coming off years of using the awful dopamine agonists, (pramipexole/ropinerole), thanks to the fantastic advice here, I'm now getting up

Produodopa
Does anyone know who’s classed as been suitable/unsuitable for this? How does it work differently to other Dopamine meds? I believe it’s very effective, is anyone on it? Advice and help much appreciated

Repost from 5 years ago on on probability of genetic element. Nothing new to say, so I’m reviewing my back catalogue 😂
Hi all. I hope that this post finds you all as well as can be expected😊. I don’t write too much these days, not because I’m too bad or anything but I just don’t have as many thoughts as I used to have about the disease. I exercised, juiced, fasted, red light hatted and I still have it unfortunately!

An Article from ABC (Australia)
Hello all,I have just come across this article. It deals primarily with Parkinson's disease, and exposure to a particular pesticide, but given that rls is ALSO caused by damage to dopamine receptors (is that correct, Sue, Joolsg ?), it may be of some interest to those on here. Note that it is not a scientific

Inter-medication pain
As my medication wears off, I get pain from my head to my toes. This lasts for an hour or more .... when the next dose kicks in, the pain goes away. Does anyone have a remedy to ease the discomfort? I take dopamine medication every 90 minutes.

Powerful antioxidant - also for PD!
Hi all, Came across an article of Dr Jockers about C60, the most powerful antioxidant. Read this first : https://drjockers.com/c60/ So went on PubMed to look for more info : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10526674/ -> "Oral [60]fullerene reduces neuroinflammation to alleviate Parkinson's

Interesting: "pro-dopamine regulator KB220"
Hello All, I've encountered this compound (actually there are several formulations / variants) which I believe you need an Rx for in the US. It's been used to revitalize/repair/bring back dopamine system to homeostasis for several conditions including RLS. Has anyone tried or heard of it?

DBS cancelled due to improvement of UDPRS measurement
Hello all, I am new here and wanted to share my story. In Feb. 2018, my left foot started to drag and for many years before my left arm would not swing. I probably had this symptom for years and considered it my normal way of walking. It has been 7 years with increasing dosages of levodopa. Throughout

buprenorphine, pregablin, opiates
Hi all. In the ongoing battle to get things stable I have been able to decrease my buprenorphine to under .5mg sublingual (from 2mg) and pregablin to 100mg (from 225mg). RLS is mostly managed well which is terrific but I can't say that I feel much less tired overall having decreased dosages. Like

Dopamine discovery: Brain chemical’s role in social understanding offers new hope for treatments
study will hopefully pave the way for future studies aiming at the development of new therapeutic interventions for people who find it hard to understand others. Besides people with Parkinson’s and schizophrenia, this might be beneficial for a range of other conditions affected by dopamine imbalances

Last year we did a road trip 3000 miles across the continent to the desert, it was amazing. Obviously I can’t do that regularly, what is something that will raise my dopamine levels like
