I just thought I would drop in and say hi, and good to see some familiar names still around. For six months when I was here previously I tried my best to assist and support others and their queries as a survivor and have continued to do so elsewhere but to a more limited extent. Covid being less

Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless leg syndrome. I have found 75mg pregabalin works (mostly) for twitches but still the nerve endings 'crawling' in my lower left leg that can reach a painful peak..

Panic over cataract surgery
Hi friends I'm writing this as mum is on the toilet. She has cataract surgery due at 12.30 today but it is now 10.15 and mum needs a number 2. I'm worried we will not make it to hospital as she takes over an hour sometimes two to finish and then I have to wash and shower her. It takes an hour to get

CPTSD
So I'm wondering if anyone here also has Childhood (or Complex) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? if so, have you found some good therapy/treatment for it? How do you feel it impacts your ADHD? I seem to recall Gabor Maté stating that he thinks many issues like ADHD are actually attributable to CPTSD

What to take after Methadone
I have been on Methadone for about 3 years and though it works well the constipation was so bad, I finally came off of Methadone and want to go on a drug that isn't an opiod. Does anyone have any suggestion. Been on requip, Mirapex, gabapentin and wondering what will work? I just cracked my femur

Little laughter 🤭 🤪

Methadone vs buprenorphine/naloxone
Hello all. I am in the "fortunate" position of being offered either methadone or Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) for my refractory RLS. I have been taking a very low dose of methadone --1/4 of a 5mg tab once daily--for only 3-1/2 weeks and I fall asleep quickly and sleep uninterrupted about 5

I added Mucinex to my list of DO NOT TAKE over the counter meds.
Well, I finally got IT... yes, covid. My husband came home with it and four days later I came down with it. I was trying to get ahead of it by taking Mucinex the second night so I could prevent it spreading into my lungs as much as possible. My whole body jerked and thrashed all night long plus I

Great RLS & Augmentation Articles (all available as PDFs)
I thought I’d share several articles that give, as far as I can tell, the best, evidence-based guidance for RLS and PLMD treatment + augmentation info. which can all be invaluable tools for understanding RLS, PLMD and augmentation. Note some of the authors names. 1)
Guidelines for the first-line

Under active Thyroid with symptoms!
I have a long history of thyroid problems, diagnosed in 1986 with Graves Disease, had a Thyroidectomy in 1988, have been taking thyroxine since late 1988. In the past 15 years I have been suffering with dry eyes, dry mouth, dry ears, dry nose, and dry oesophagus. I have been tested for Sjogrens but everything

Switching brands of Thyroxine
Hi there...I'm new to this forum so hello to all fellow sufferers out there. I've recently been reading about the issues that surround the swapping of brands of thyroxine. I heard about this from a lady in the pharmacy queue and couldn't help but overhear her conversation there. I asked her what

Pramipexole vacations
I am currently completely off Pramipexole for 7 months, after being on it for 6 years. It was the only medication that gave me excellent relief and no side effects, except one sudden episode of augmentation . All the augmentation symptoms have resolved, but the symptoms of course are daily and last

Muscles in lower back all rigid and locked up
Hi, the muscles around my lower back have been locked up for a few weeks now. I find using an electric blanket has helped. I also use "winter green' (methyl salicylate) sports rub, with limited effect. Taking a couple of Ibuprofen and a co-codamol help too, but it's still very immobile and limits

Blurriness and floaters
I’m currently in the ‘watching brief’ phase after a series of 10 Lucentis injections in my left eye. Over the past month, I’ve noticed a number of small black floaters and intermittent blurriness in the affected eye. I’ve yet to see my specialist doctor but the nurse practitioner and my optician haven

A brief respite and now back with a vengeance
I suffer from restless legs syndrome and was prescribed pramipexole. I started a reduction program several months ago and by September I was down to half a tablet today. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy 3 moths ago. Unbeknown to me the surgery temporarily raised my ferritin
