Genetic test positive
In November 2023 my iron labs were increased. Ferritin 117 TSAT 58 my doctor said we would retest in six month and do genetic testing but wasn’t concerned. My results just came in and it showed homogenous for H63D. I haven’t been able to speak with him yet. I am extremely scared.

Dr Berkowski Article on Dopamine Agonists Oct '23.
https://www.calameo.com/sleeplabmagazine/books/006372046fb2b80cd3776 Dr Berkowski is one of the top US experts on RLS and he firmly believes dopamine agonists cause permanent damage to dopamine receptors. This means pregabalin and gabapentin often don't work for us, nor do iron infusions. It may be helpful

Looking for comments on this opening info sheet.
I am a doctor who got interested in RLS over 6/12 ago when my wife's RLS went crazy when she was trying to use Phenergan (sedating antihistamine) to sleep. After a couple of sleepless night she was a mess and complained "And there is no treatment for restless legs!!". I thought that could not be right

Antidepressants
Hi, I have been on Esatalapram ( SSRI ) for over 20 years and it has been fantastic for OCD and awful anxiety. I get no side effects at all from this medicine- Until I developed RLS. I have tried to wean off , super super slowing and I can get down to 5mg but anything lower I become very unwell mentally

Thinking of going back on Sertraline but my partner makes it seem like i’m being weak or lazy
Hi, So I first wrote on this forum 5 years ago when I suddenly had the worst Health Anxiety of my life and it felt totally out of the blue at the time. I had never experienced anything at all like it. I woke up one day with my muscles aching, feeling dizzy, felt like I was rocking on a boat or like

iron supplements
hello! I wondered if anyone could recommend an iron supplement that has no nasties in? The GP suggested I go on it because I’m slightly anaemic. I am very careful with other supplements to not have additives that might trigger the AF (like B12, Vit D etc) but can’t seem to find an iron supplement that

Unlocking the Maze of B Complexes: A Handy List for Safe Dosages and Bioactive Vitamins
It can be quite challenging to find reliable B-complex supplements that are safe in terms of dosage. Additionally, it is advisable to opt for bioactive vitamins for added safety.

Hair Loss on Acalabrutinib
Has anyone suffered significant hair loss while taking this drug? Does the hair loss stop at some point in time. Does the hair regrow? This is the one thing the oncologist said wouldn't happen. I have been taking an iron supplement and 5,000 mcg of biotin, information that I read in other posts. My hair

Evening everyone, I have continued to feel increasingly unwell. Shoulder and neck pain continues and keeps me awake or wakes me up every night now.
