suboxone update
hello all, I wanted to post that since starting the Suboxone, I have had zero RLS and I feel like an all new person. After two decades of suffering, I don’t even think about it anymore. It’s such an incredible feeling to be free of this malady. Plus I’m completely off oxycodone. I take one quarter

Oxycodone anxiety
After being on Tramadol for 8y and augmenting on it, my doctor switched me to a relatively low dose of 5mg oxycodone immediate release tablet. I’ve been on it for 5 months and it has worked well controlling my RLS. Also, I have taken it strictly as directed to the point of taking it at the exact time

Levo - am I worrying too much?
First, best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year. I have been on Levo 100 for seven or so months now - the Accord brand. I got my new order by post about ten days ago and stupidly didn't open the parcel until Christmas day, when I needed to! They sent me Teva, so I have missed two days so far

Hello everyone, I have not posted before but I am wondering if may be I could have been wrongly diagnosed as my blood pressure readings are between 115/60-150/63, the diastolic is always normal or even lower sometimes, it is only the systolic that sometimes randomly flares up to a high number.

Update
Thanks for everyones kind help. I have now asked to be reviewed by Haemotology and have emailed my results to the docter asking for an urgent neck ultrasound. No response as yet. I have randomly been given an appointment for a lung function test. If my windpipe is blocked will this show anything? Keep

Palpitations/Nattokinase/Serrapeptase
I was looking for some information regarding Nattokinase and Serrapeptase. I have had palpitations on and off for about 2 years. About a year ago I went I to see a cardiologist privately. He said there is nothing wrong with my heart but probably caused by stress. I've suffered from stress and anxiety

I’m among the relatively fortunately RLS sufferers that along with gabapentin can get decent relief from a 5mg dose of oxycodone immediate release. However, I am very concerned about limiting my dependence to this drug due to its power and am determined to avoid having this dosage increased. I believe

Scientists say mystery of how red wine headaches occur may be solved
Thought this could be relevant on at least two grounds: First, so many members say they have issues tolerating alcoholic drinks, especially red wine. And it is specifically in this respect that I am posting. Not ordinary excessive drinking. Second, there are numerous posts here which advocate taking

POTS - useful article interview
Quite a few people, including myself, have or have had POTS and I saw this article describing how it ca be diagnosed in a clinic without Tilt Table test - https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/995674?ecd=wnl_infocu1_broad_broad_per Some excellent explanations alongside advice for exercising - wish

Hi, I have always been an anxious person, since the age of 5 years old. I am now 67 years, and I am totally obsessed with my blood pressure and readings. I know I have high bp, as it is in my family history. But it drives me insane.

Hiccups ?
I am getting regular hiccups for the last three days - Is this a sign of something seriously wrong ? I am 72 Yrs old on diabetics tablets and with insulin the sugar level is under control - I regularly have a peg of whiskey and ginger beer with the evening meal. Also, I take a few tablets daily to keep

Looking for advice, yet again, please.
I had an appointment to see my GP today regarding high blood pressure. I have been taking 10mg Ramipril for some time but recently BP has been high and erratic. Apparently, I cannot go to a higher Ramipril dose, therefore, need to change. I’m aware that some BP medication can interfere with RLS, so

Alpro Almond Milk..... why do they do this? Any chemists have words of advice?
I stopped having cow's milk sometime ago and have been very happy using Alpro Almond milk instead. It contains Vitamins D2, E, B2 and B12 and calcium as shown in the photo. I noticed today that the packaging had changed and thought to myself "I wonder if anything else has?" So I checked. Yes indeed

high aldosterone, high renin.. renal artery stenosis?
had tests re done bloods and urine due to high blood pressure. Sure I’ve had them done two or three times in past year but this time renin elevated at 101, and markedly elevated aldosterone at 969. Albumin/creative ratio elevated at 6.2 (upper limit 3.5). Strongly pointing towards secondary hyperaldosteronism
