Reintroducing DA at a low dose?
What is the current thinking around taking a low dose of a dopamine agonist in conjunction with another RLS medication? I took pramipexole ten years ago and experienced augmentation after approximately 12 months. Fortunately I didn't experience DAWS when coming off it. I have been on pregabalin for

Huge anxiety 2-3 days after Radioactive Iodine treatment
Hi, I hope someone can help/advise. After 2 1/2 years on carbimazole for Grave's disease (5mg for the last year or so), I've had RAI. It was administered on Tuesday, I felt ok until bedtime on Thursday - settled in bed but felt paniky, very conscious of my heartbeat and breathing, felt the need

Update on rls
Hello everyone, just an update to let you know how I have been getting on since coming off the dopamine agonist. It's around 3 months now since I took my last tiny piece of pramipexole, after a pretty rough time of crawling legs, arms, shoulder shivers, I'm finally getting better!!! While coming off

Continuing problems after RAI treatment
Fifteen months ago I had RAI treatment to destroy my thyroid as the Consultant said it could no longer be treated with carbimazole as it was affecting my white blood cell count. So eventually, despite not wanting to, I had the treatment. As I had had an underactive thyroid for 12 years before it changed

codeine
I’m just wondering if taking a 60mg dose of codeine each night is addictive? I’m only taking codeine occasionally at other times if I’m in agony with my other health problems. I’ve noticed that it helps my RLS calm immensely when taken with or a low dose of pramiprexole. I also find a hot way bottle

Too much thyroxine?
Hi, Please can someone help me? I have Hashimotos, Sjogrens & Antiphosphilipid syndrome. Has anyone experienced continuous rolling migraines for a week? I don’t usually suffer from migraines, other than the odd visual aura if my INR drops below 2. For the last week I have had frequent daily auras

The iodine question
Hello, I am pondering on
iodine
supplementation. The b-complex I used it buy have changed the formula to add
iodine
so I am trying another one. However my nutritionist friend has incouraged me to have some
iodine
as it is important for healthy breast tissue and ovaries.

What is the prognosis for someone with Graves’ disease?
Hi All, I have some questions about the prognosis for someone with Graves’ disease. How would Graves’ disease likely progress if solely treated using anti-thyroid medication such as Carbimazole? This is the route I am taking. I know it’s an autoimmune disease so there will be flareups and periods

Venting about a poor night, again and no relief in sight
This is more of a desperate rant than anything else -- I wish I was outside today, in the sun and enjoying life. Instead I'm in bed feeling wiped. Last night I tried codeine, again. Only this time i tried a much higher dose. All previous times I've used codeine it's either worked alright or not very

Tylenol 3 with Codeine…I need a substitute…Help
I’m stage 3b and maintaining. I just had foot surgery this morning. My orthopedic surgeon consulted with my nephrologist and decided Tylenol 3 with Codeine would be best to start . If that didn’t work I could take low dose Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen 10-325mg. The Tylenol 3 is making me vomit, but
