Pic & Pencil Therapy for Depression & Chronic Pain
Hi everyone. I told my friend who suffers from severe depression & is on several medications about the adult coloring books I wrote about earlier. No joke here. Some of authors of these books are licensed therapists who practice art therapy with folks in hospitals, mental health facilities, senior homes

Diagnosis
Hi all, I was hoping for some advice on an ongoing situation. For some time now (over 3years), I have been experiencing the following: - difficulty losing weight, regardless of eating habits and exercise - cold extremities - either too hot or too cold - thinning hair (although may be MPB) - constant

GRATITUDE
HI all. I got a lovely reminder of gratitude today so want to start a post where we can all share our gratitude. We are all well versed in researching RLS or whatever maladies we have and that means focusing on what is wrong, (and for some of us that is A LOT!); the downside of that focus is that

I read the long article about how mice convert one chemical to another and how dopamine receptors react when they get all the chemicals they need to stop me from twitching 24 hours a day if I don't take one dopamine agonist or another and how some day they won't work. I live in the USA, near Chicago

GDNF not needed by the midbrain dopamine systemDate: March 4, 2015

Do you have stomach tingling? Comments on ghrelin.
I remember as a child getting a strange feeling in my stomach after running long and hard, sort of like hunger pangs, but apparently something having to do with lack of oxygen. Now I have that feeling to a small extent most of the day. It feels almost like there is an acid build up. It seems many if

1 anxiety leads to the next, & always some depression
Ok my experience, pretty normal guy, even married now. I started the noticing the physical affects of Anxiety since 14.Sweating, blushing, stuttering - whatever your body does in the fight or flight situation. (sometimes even aggression as a response). GP will treat this as a physical condition first

Dopamine agonists turned me into a compulsive monster. Have you had similar experiences?
Hi folks, I found this forum by searching this specific topic. I'm fortunate to not have PD, but have been treated for severe RLS for over a decade. Up until a year ago, I was on Requip, which started at a lose dose and then gradually increased until I was sent to a neurologist because it was thought

Doctors are not prescribing Mirapex responsibly . Sleep First, decision in 3 days.
I think that by the time you face taking mirapex or any other dopamine drug, your back is truly against the wall.. you will take any pills or pill or anything good or bad for you.. when I made the decision to take mirapex, I was so sleep deprived that I was holding the very thing to end my life..
