Hello! New here! Can you take collagen supplements with potassium iodide at 50mg with Hashmotos disease?
I am very curious because I have leaky gut and want to supplement with collagen which I heard helps leaky gut. I heard potassium iodide is good for hashmotos as its like a detox for the thyroid. If you can help that's great thanks guys. Xx

Coming off Pramipexole
I'm a 65 year old female in Norfolk in the UK, with hereditary RLS for which I was prescribed X1 every evening 0.088mg Pramipexole some 10 (possibly?) years ago. A year ago I had a single mastectomy, am on Anastrazole oestrogen suppressant hormone treatment and a Calcium/D3 supplement for that, along

Dopamine Agonist withdrawal syndrome
On what would have been Robin Williams' 72nd birthday, a reminder of how dangerous dopamine agonists can be. If you mention DAWS to a UK doctor, they have no idea what we are talking about. They mistakenly say it only happens if the patient had Impulse Control Disorder. It can affect anyone taking these

EMDR.. anyone?
I am due to start EMDR next week. I have put it off for quite some time for one reason or another but I finally feel brave enough to start this. Anyone else on this journey? Or any success stories? My therapist thinks I have lots of little traumas mostly including health and death and believes this will

How to blow up your consultant!

This was not treated for that time so when I saw her I wa feeling pretty terrible after months of lung congestion, breathlessness, fatigue also my heart and RA had been badly affected. I am afraid I burst into tears and gave

Tingling sensation in my fingers and hands. Is it caused by augmentation ?
Hello everyone my RLS is getting worse. I live in Mexico. I wanted everyone to know before I got started because there are certain drugs like buprenorphine I can’t get here. I’m finding that my arms and hands have this funny tingling in them when I go to bed. No jumping like my legs. It’s just a tingling

Severe COPD and cataracts.
Hello Everyone, I had my eyes tested recently and the optician told me I had cataracts. He said, ‘you do know you can’t have the operation?’ Which I didn’t. From what I can find out it’s because I can’t lie ‘supine’ or flat on my back and also because of the increased possibility of coughing. I

Tortuous
I'm now in my 4th week (feels like years!) of reducing Ropinirole and taking Pregabalin. GP prescribed 50mg which I quickly increased to 100 and I am now taking that with 0.5mg Ropinirole instead of 0.15mg. The moment I sit and 'settle' (no chance!)for the evening off go the legs. I'm already very low

Reaction to trabeculectomy
I'm 66 and it was decided that as drops were no longer controlling pressure, I needed to have trabeculectomy in both eyes. Had first op last summer but had a toxic reaction resulting in my eye being closed, severe reaction to light as well as constant irritation. 11 months later eye still not fully open

Eye Drop Prescription Bottles don’t last 4 weeks
Hi, just wonder if anyone else has a similar problem. I take Brinzolamide twice a day in one eye and Travapost at bedtime. The Brinzolamide only ever lasts me 3 weeks although prescription says it should last for 4 weeks. Maybe because I am more concerned about getting a good dose each application. I

Pegasys issues
Hi everyone previously I had told you that I was having Sjogrens symptoms while on Pegasys. I stopped it and saw a rheumatologist. She was very dismissive. She told me to just look up my own results on the portal and because she was convinced, without seeing any results that i do not have Sjogrens.

Nail stain
Hi, I’m here again but now asking for any experience with nail stain, a dark one ( Melanonychia ) related with Thyroid issues. I got it in one of my nail and waiting for a NHS specialist doctor appointment now. I know this can be a big problem, but looking on internet some of melanonychia can be related

Inadvertent taper of prednisolone
I inadvertently took 5mg instead of 10mg prenisolone for 2 days( before which everything was fine) and all my inflammation symptoms of my uveitis came back(haziness etc). . Now I'm back on 10mg . Any idea how long it would take for these symptoms to resolve itself?

Advice on codeine v tramadol
I'm hoping for some advice because my doctor and the neurologists have been no help. For the past few years I have been taking 50mg tramadol, 300mg Gabapentin and 50mg sertraline. Prior to this I managed to wean off Pramipexole. I haven't increased the dosage of any of my current meds because I had hoped

Cannabis and Restless Leg
Hi all, I was told recently that cannabis, in whichever form you choose, may be helpful in relieving restless leg. Do any of you try this with any success? I had a weed cookie last night, very low dose, and it SEEMED to help, but I had only reduced my Mirapexin, not refrained completely, so I'm not

Could my son have Ehlers-Danlos? Who to ask about diagnosis?
Hi everyone, I've joined the group today as I'm not sure if my son has hypermobile EDS and I'm not sure where to turn and what to do next. He has lots of niggly health issues which I'm starting to think might be EDS (or I could be adding 2+2=5). Since he was about 6 months old he has suffered horrendously

problems wearing glasses?
Hi. I’ve always worn glasses - very shortsighted so a strong prescription and heavy lenses. For a long time I’ve had to pay for the lightest possible lenses and small frames, because of headaches. But despite that, in the last 2-3 years I get sores on the sides of my nose where the glasses rest. It’s
