GP suggesting alternative to citalopram to reduce PMR pain??
My GP has just suggested that I consider changing from 20mg daily citalopram (that I’ve been taking for last 3.5 years to combat menopause symptoms) to Duloxerine because “it will help reduce some of PMR pain”. I’m confused. I know she is concerned because I’m having trouble reducing from 17-20mg

Gabapentin for RLS
I was diagnosed with RLS around three weeks ago and have now been prescribed Gabapentin by my GP having rejected his initial prescription of Ropinirole. My RLS symptoms were initially very severe at night but I was generally symptom free during the day. This has now altered and I am now experiencing

Ocular hypertension and insomnia
My glaucoma consultant is concerned that the IOP in my left eye is too high. I’ve already had a trab on my right eye and she says that if the left one doesn’t go down I will need to have a trab on that eye too. I’ve been suffering with insomnia since I got Covid about a month ago and haven’t had a good

Anyone with ET use Besremi?
Pegasys is causing me significant liver enzyme increases. I have high risk ET, CALR-1 and resistant to Hydrea. Pegasys has worked well for past 8 years but now liver can no longer tolerate. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what the change in cytoreductive management strategy was

Depressed, hopeless and sleep deprived with RLS. HELP??
I’ve had RLS for 40 years and have been on almost every medicine out there. I’ve been in Requip for 6 years - 2 mg XL, 2 2mg Requip along with clonopin & methadone. My neurologist of 15 years has given up on me. I saw another one a few weeks ago and she said everything she’d prescribe, I’ve already

Ptosis following Trabeculectomy
I’m on week 8 following my first Trabeculectomy and still have a droopy eyelid (ptosis) - I know this is a very common factor and was expecting it but just wondering (praying) that this will resolve and go back to normal on its own? I think roughly the 3 month point is what I’ve read in terms of full

Insomnia add CBD oil
CBD oil acts on different receptors than Opioids and THC . If you are taking low dose CBD with THC or medical marijuana and you still suffer insomnia add extra pure CBD oil. If you suffer from opioid insomnia add PURE CBD OIL always sublingual it has some many health benefits a great nights sleep

Thalassemia and PA
Hello, I've been telling everyone I know about PA, and so far two friends quite possibly have it. One definitely. But my nieces husband and daughter have Thalassemia. A very rare genetic blood disorder. When i googled it, I was surprised to see it can be linked to b12d and PA. Does anyone here have this

Does half dose of sertraline make any difference?
I’ve spoken to a GP this morning (not my usual one, sadly) about my restless legs having returned since taking sertraline. She mentioned other antidepressants as an alternative but all of them are listed as having restless legs as side effects. She suggested halving the dose. As I’m only on the lowest

Compression boots w/heat
Hello, So far the only the only things I have found to help my severe RLS is 15 mgs of methodone w/400 mgs of magnesium (long term fix about 24 hrs), hot baths with epsom salt (short term fix, maybe 30 mins.) Being how I do NOT want to be on methodone for ever. I am looking for other solutions.

GCA Symptoms
Hello, I’m curious of those that have gone blind in one eye, or completely, from GCA…did you have any symptoms? We’re you misdiagnosed? If you had symptom, were they consistent, and present all the time? How long did you have symptoms before going blind? Was your blindness abrupt, or a slow loss of sight

Is it GCA or side effect of Prednisone
Has anyone had blurry vision in one eye, no jaw pain, no headaches and eye exam revealed nothing to worry about in regards to GCA. The blurry vision comes and goes. I am tapering down. Started at 60 mg for 1 day in ER due to PMR then 40mg for 2 days and then 20mg for 2 months. Now down to 13mg reducing

Very dry mouth
Since Covid in October 2022 I have had a dry mouth with a sore tongue and sore roof of mouth. I am now thinking it is nothing to do with Covid but maybe related to Mercury thyroxine? I have struggled for years trying to find a brand that agrees with me, ever since the original Eltroxin I by Glaxo disappeared
