GCA Eyesight Anxiety
Hello, I am feeling quite anxious now, because my long-distance sight seems worse today. I am definitely seeing double (at a distance) and cannot focus (distance only.) Up close is clear. (I do have myopia, and have never had any problem with close work, unlike most people my age, which is 65.) I was

what to do? Take .25mg Pramipexole and 7.5mg zopiclone for 2 or 3 nights? Or not?
Cannabis isnt effective atm so I need a 5 day break. Being sleep deprived from RL and insomnia just now is awful. I can't see my doctor to discuss methadone till after New Year. What to do? Doctor prescribed .25mg Pramipexole to try, but I'm too worried about augmentation to take these. BUT....I'm exhausted

Hydrocodone?
My doctor is prescribing hydrocodone for help with my restless legs during plane flights, in addition to my regular meds, ropinirole and pregabalin. Has anyone had experience with this? Thank you.

PMR again ?
I stopped pred on 8th October after 4 years and was OK until now. I have developed stiffness and aching in hips down to knees and am wondering whether the PMR has come again due to stress. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th October and am currently on Letrozole to (hopefully !) shrink the tumour

buprenorphine study
Just wondering what people think about the recent study below? Study population was people with opioid use disorder (OUD) who are taking buprenorphine to manage it. Apparently an unusually high percentage of participants had RLS symptoms. I thought Bup alleviated symptoms? I’m in the process of getting

Treatment was well tolerated, and no adverse events were reported. Our case series shows a potential role for self-administered taVNS in patients with severe pharmacoresistant RLS.

Co-codamol any good for RLS or PLMD?
I asked my GP for buprenorphine. He gave me co-codamol. Does anyone have any personal experience of this opioid? I'm not in pain, but have PLMD. I'd love to know if anyone has used co-codamol - and how they took it - and what their experience of it has been.

Pain management
Dear Friends: I am currently taking 20mg Methadone daily for RLS and will have painful hand surgery soon. Because Methadone blunts effects of opioids I am concerned about pain management. Any ideas how best to handle? Thank you.

Runny eyes
I have recently been diagnosed with suspected glaucoma and prescribed one eye drop a day. Before this I had experienced runny eyes and had been referred to an optician by my GP. She found that I had dry eye. Often now a short while after my eye drop the eye runs briefly. I am worried that the eye drop

declining & blurred sight in one eye
I have glaucoma in my left eye which used to be my dominant eye. The right eye is so far fine although very short-sighted. Sight in left eye is 6/120 and 6/12 in right and I have (again) managed to pass DVLA test. However I do struggle with TV, reading supermarket signs, etc because of the blurred vision

Cataract after Preserflo treatment
I'm 4 months after glaucoma surgery / preseflo, I still have blurred vision - today I was diagnosed with a cataract on the operated eye and also retinal swelling. Does anyone have experience with such a case - how to treat it (cataract surgery will help). I will be glad for the reactions - experience

Success Story (so far, anyway)
I've had RLS for decades, starting in my 30s. Was on carb/levidopa for a while till it became no longer effective, then switched to Roprinirole, which worked just great, but had to keep upping the dosage to keep it's effectiveness. At 4MG of Roprinirole, I was running out of options, did some research

best anesthesia for knee replacement surgery ?
Greetings… I experienced my first struggle with daily RLS after 2 emergency gallbladder surgeries in 2021. My RLS lasted 10-12 horrible months post op… a short time still I’m aware, relative to the experience of so many sufferers on this forum. Apparently I am one of the lucky ones for whom only daily

Turmeric
I have been amazed at the effect taking turmeric has had on the amount of pain I experience in my hands and how quickly this has happened. (Yes, I know about the placebo effect!) I would recommend anyone to try it (providing they check with their haems/doctors first). I take 2 capsules of turmeric extract

One Small Setback...
I reported to the forum four plus weeks ago, the RLS symptoms had temporarily disappeared, due to extreme attention and focus on two tennis tournaments I conducted at our community. I began to taper down from 20 mg methadone to 7.5 mg today. The jerkiness I experienced in the past were absent, with

I have RLS and have been taking the hell tablet Pramipexole for over 20 years. I am now down to 2.5 tablets a day 0.088mg at night. I also take 20mg Oxycodone, one in the morning and one at night. My biggest problem at present is that at certain times of the day, I am fatigued to the point where I cannot
