pregabalin vs buprenorphine
I’ve been off pramipexole for a bit over two weeks. I had a fairly easy transition off it thanks to buprenorphine and cannabis, along with pointers picked up here about iron supplements, diet, etc. I started pregabalin but stopped taking it after 10 days or so because of the comments about it not fully

Iron supplement recommendations please
Can anyone recommend an iron supplement that won't cause constipation? My iron is low so GP prescribed me 200mg Ferrus Sulphate. I'm supposed to be taking 3 a day but I can barely manage 1, my bowels do not agree at all! 🙈 I was looking at Floradix liquid iron however it contains b vitamins which I'm

The eternal supplement conundrum!
Hi all, hope all doing well and all optimistic going into 2024 - and/or grateful for what we’re leaving behind. I’m reviewing our supplements going into ‘24 as a friend of a similar age is on so many I think she must rattle! She is on her IVF journey ahead of me so getting all the advice she can -

Vitamin/mineral deficiencies
Hi. I've had Pbc for 6 yrs now. Recently I've noticed that I am more fatigued than normal. I asked for my blood results over the last 10 yrs . I noticed a progressive decline in my ferritin levels over the last few yes. I had a vitamin b12 level done recently and it was just above the borderline/normal

iron overload
An early happy new year to all. Just curious if anyone has iron overload from blood transfusions and if they have started any therapy for this. My husband has high risk MF and has been dependent on monthly blood transfusions since his hemoglobin and hematocrit levels have been low 25 for hematocrit

Given up with GPs!
Sue Johnson gave me lots of advice about ferritin levels. In July my level was 7 and I was prescribed Ferrous fumerate 2 x 210mg per day. This stopped my RLS and I was amazed. However after about a month I felt it creeping back. After 3 months I had a new test and it had gone up to 19. The GP said I

Why has my ferritin risen so quickly!?
So I got my yearly iron panel check, and my ferritin had dropped to 42! even though I eat iron rich foods and take vitamin C with meals! All my vitamin levels are now optimal I take an expensive powder form of probiotic by Biomel and the Rheal gut feel greens powder, all supporting my gut health and

ferritin still low
As mentioned before my ferritin is 13, can’t tolerate any oral form and have had infusions in the past. Am being denied infusion as Full bloods are within range, no idea what to do now, eating plenty of iron rich foods, feeling really unwell and down. Recent test results: B12=651(187-883), vit D=92(

I really don't know where to start
My PMR is back and as bad as can be. I started out at 15mg and am taking methotrexate too. I've tapered to 14mg and I'm now unwilling to budge from this because I've been hit with a list of things that are making it hard. My husband has been diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer and is not doing well at

Massachusetts Opioid Register Year 4 results
I attach the latest Massachusetts Opioid Register results, showing the medications taken by participants and the doses. Dr Winkelman set up the Register to show that addiction and tolerance are unlikely to happen when low dose opioids are used for RLS. For those who have augmented on dopamine agonists

Recent blood test – Why do I feel so tired?
Hello, Please could you have a look at my recent blood test results and tell me what could be the cause of my constant tiredness? I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning and often wake up with brain fog. I often wake up during the night to pee. I often feel the need to fall asleep in the afternoon

Confounded by two different results for MMA test. One negative, one positive
About six weeks ago husband took a Medichecks MMA test. It was over range (positive) In a way I was relieved by this because it meant that now we knew what we were dealing with and what to do about it. However, GP was clueless and referred us on to a specialist in Cambridge, who five weeks after the

Switched from Methadone at 10 mg to Buprenorphine 10 mcg
Good Morning, As of June 2023, I began with 5 mg of methadone, and gradually increased it to 20 mg by August. I reported to the forum in early November, a transformation occurred, with the leg spasms virtually gone, caused by RLS at night. I began tapering off, and reduced it to 7.5 mg and have remained

Low dose aspirin
Had anyone who is on low dose aspirin for life, found their iron levels have dropped. Went for pre assessment for total knee replacement a few weeks before Christmas and blood test showed my iron levels had dropped, so now going for iron infusion at local hospital this afternoon. Looking back on past
