Weaning off ropinirol
Hi! I have been told before but can’t remember how to wean myself off ropinirol, I’m currently down to 0.50mg at night but if I go lower than that I don’t sleep at all! Which isn’t helpful when I work full time, I’m in the uk so my doc won’t prescribe opioids, I’m already taking Gabapentin and that’s

Sulphasazine
I saw both rheumatologist and ophthalmologist last week. Good news - I'm having cataract surgery under general anaesthetic. Apparently its high risk hence general. I'm also down on prednisolone from 15mg to 12.5mg. I'm hoping to be symptom free reducing by 2.5mg. Bad news - I'm now have to take sulpasazine

Hip Replacement OP
I've been blessed and offered a cancellation for the hip op. Very last moment, but grabbed it as I've been reduced to a cripple. Had it last Saturday and I'm back home now learning how to walk again and get my knickers on without bending! Just to say the anaesthetist was great. Gave me methadoxatone

Sad Times 😞
We lost our beautiful Brodie Bear two weeks ago. I haven’t posted about it because we have been trying to keep busy but we are truly heartbroken. He was only off his food for a few days then violently sick over the Easter weekend and we took him to the emergency vets. To our horror he was in kidney failure

Am I entitled to IVF on the NHS
Hi all, after years of tests with my gynaecologist he has finally referred me to an IVF clinic and we had our first appointment today.

Bloodshot eye from a scratch now seems to be more bloodshot.
Hello all, A week ago I scratched the lower part of the white of my eye. The blood seemed to be diminishing, but several days ago when waking up the eye was painful, like very bad dry eye. Cool eye drops helped, but it is still sore and veins around the eye are more red. My vision doesn’t

NHS and 2nd potential anti vegf
Hello all even though I work for the NHS I still despair at the appointment system sometimes! I paid to go privately for my first anti vegf injection and the consultant said he would slot me into his nhs clinic for the second but due to probably the jubilee BH my second one will be 5 weeks 2 days after

Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD) requires methylation
*** I ended up with High Blood Pressure taking TTFD. I no longer take TTFD. Based on my experience, I would not recommend TTFD. *** Excellent write up on Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD) but I am unsure if it is a Methyl Donor or requires a Methyl Donor. https://www.eonutrition.co.uk/post

Traveling with Pegasys on airplane.
Any suggestions on traveling with Pegasys prefilled syringe? I know it needs to be stored at 36-46 degrees Fahrenheit.

Any eye problems?
Hi My husband who has PV has had sore, itchy eyes for a couple of weeks, with painful spots appearing on the edges of his eye lids. He went to the GP 2 weeks ago and was given a couple of different eye ointments (an antibiotic and a lubricant). However, the problems haven’t gone away so I’ve persuaded

THC O- a 1 person mini experiment
I got my THC O in the mail last Monday and have taken it all week. Here are my personal conclusions. Keep in mind this is just my experience. It may differ for others. DOES IT WORK: Yes. It seems to have the same efficacy, mg to mg, as normal THC. WOULD I RECOMMEND IT: No. Not if you have other options

Tramadol + Gabapentin
I have been on 100mg Tramadol and 1200mg Gabapentin for about 8 years now (after all the DA’s and augmentation). This last year getting up once or twice a night has turned into 3+ times and some very bad evenings and I believe I have reached tolerance in Tramadol. I won’t increase above 100mg as I fear

16 and been diagnosed with lupus
My son was diagnosed with lupus last year December. I feel so sorry for him he’s suffering with a lot of pain in fingers. I never knew that at the age of 16 you could get lupus. I was 38 when I was diagnosed.

RLS and Mono (Epstein-Barr virus), any correlation?
Hi all, I'm testing an hypothesis about RLS and mono today. Short story, I had mono symptoms for months about two years go. I tested reactive for EBV VCA IgG EIA (mono) twice over a few months period. It eventually got better, but I still get those same symptoms randomly for a few days or a week at

What else is available?
I have done Carbo/Taxol, Avastin, Carbo/Caelyx, Rubrac a and now Anastrazole. I have a scan coming up, but lately can feel the cancer spreading and am resorting to pain killers. Can anyone who has had this many lines of chemo tell me what else was available for them to try, and also how successful it
