augmentation with Mirapex (pramipexole)
Hi all, I'm new here and have had RLS one form or another since I was a child but lately it has kicked off particularly badly. To give some insight I have night terrors and I had a sleep study which suggested RLS might be triggering the terrors (my legs wake me when I should be asleep). My dr at

Levothyroxine & Midodrine
hello, I wonder if anyone has any experience taking levothyroxine & midodrine at the same time. I was started on midodrine 3-4 weeks ago and have just increased to 5mg 3x a day as these have a short half life and I have to take my last one 2-3pm to prevent impact to my sleep, it has been tight to fit

Ross procedure - left shoulder pain and sore neck muscles
Hi all, I had the Ross procedure on 8th June 2022 (my 3rd valve replacement surgery). Due to the complexity of the op, it took approx. 10 hours to complete. Naturally my neck muscles.. all of them and so fricken tight! And my left shoulder often feels very achey 😣 Does anyone think when I’m well

Anxiety Struggle
Good morning, well here goes another day. As soon as I wake up I think I can hear my heart pounding and just seem anxious all day. I was taken off Citalopram back in March following a heart event (not a heart attack but diagnosed with CAD with a narrowing in my LAD, no stent needed at the moment). I

Risk of surgery?
Hello, my husband has chronic liver disease and splenomegaly , thrombocytopenia and neutropenia associated with haemachromatosis and NAFLD, he is due to have a hip replacement in the next few weeks and I’m worried about his risk.
