Restless leg syndrome
Rls started when I was 7 months pregnant with my first child and has been rearing it’s head since 1973, 50 years. The past few months I have been taking 3gr of red vein kratom and it was helping. Lately it doesn’t seem to control it at bedtime. I spend a couple of hours exercising, stretching and

Clonazepam instead of Pregabalin?
I have just had a telephone appointment with a Neurologist which lasted all of 90 seconds, part of which he spent looking through my notes and came to the conclusion that I should try Clonazepam instead of Pregabalin for 6 months. He wasn't interested in listening to anything I had to say about iron

Preventable Corneal Abrasion
Recently I went to a recycling centre on a windy day. I usually wear eye protection glasses but had forgotten to put them in the car. Within 5 minutes some dust had blown into my 'good eye' and it was very painful. Everyone was busy shaking out bags briskly all around me. Luckily I was not driving

Is anyone else experiencing a shortage of Ropinirole for restless legs? Yet again my usual pharmacy has run out of this drug and it’s the only drug I’ve found so far, that works for me. I can’t work out if it’s my pharmacy not ordering in enough or whether the pharmaceutical company isn’t manufacturing

Trouble transitioning to Gabapentin
Due to augmentation, I switched from Ropinirole to Gabapentin about 6 weeks ago. I did it in about a month (a bit too quick, I realize now, and suffered because of it), so I've been off Ropinirole for over two weeks. Unfortunately, Gabapentin has yet to do anything for me. I'm up to 900 miligrams a day

My new Rux journey
See end for reason for the image. -- I've been on Rux for just over a month. As posted I switched from Bes after the IFN and Flu Vax blew up on me. I'm at 20 BID (10x2/day). So far nothing bad that's clearly Rux guilty has happened . I held CHR for three months off IFN. But it's starting to

insomnia in middle of night
my husband is weaning down. His ropinirole from eight mg. He is currently on 6 1/2 mg and just has a slight amount of RLS coming through mostly around 10 o’clock at night. The worst part is he wakes up at 3 o’clock in the morning and cannot get back to sleep, he does not have a RLS at that time just

Some help please…regarding waiting times
I have just spoken to the hospital about my referral and they are saying it could take 3 to 4 months. I cannot wait that long as my brain can’t cope and with all the medication I’m taking I cannot stay on it for that long. I had a laser iridotomy in November through the NHS for narrow angles this partially

Problem with antihistamines
I have glaucoma and the treatment causes me to have dry eyes that have resulted in damaged corneas. I am prescribed Carmellose 1% eye drops. I was also prescribed Fexofenadine tablets for my allergies but decided to stop taking them as watery eyes helped to reduce the dryness. However, given the pollen

RLS nightmare
I have had Rls for about 10 years now and am currently on Ropinirole 4mg. Nights are ok but it’s the daytime attacks that are becoming a nightmare now. I just did a 4 hour flight to Europe and despite being early morning, within half an hour my legs were going ballistic. I spent the next 3 1/2 hours

Dexamethasone & Chloramphenicol. Do they cause blurred vision?
Went down to eye casualty as still had sensitivity and irritation from my cataract op though my vision was clear. No infection but the eye is very dry still. Seems the dry eye drops aren't doing a lot. I need to use my heat mask at least once a day. They've stopped the Betamethasone I was given after
