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

Newbie with PV and questions!
Hi everyone, new to the forum. I'm 50 and was told I have Polycythaemia Vera last week. Probably like many of you on here, I ended up getting diagnosed with PV as a coincidence. I complained at my GP about persistent and worsening hip pain when walking. Eventually got sent for xray to check for arthritis

Help with blood test results please
Have recently had an Ultimate blood test through Medichecks and need some help deciphering what I need. I’ve managed to work out that I need to supplement Vit D and B12 but am struggling with the iron panel & thyroid results. It was done through Eurofins County Pathology Iron - 21.5 umol/L - (5.8

Update and advice needed
Hi, Just an update on my husband and a little advice please. (He's just turned 71) After having a massive flare of PMR and suffered with Carpal tunnel syndrome and sleep deprivation. He is finally in a better place. He has a bone density scan in September, should have been earlier, but he missed

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

Techie measuring help please
Due to a full hip replacement I do my running at an outdoor gym on an elliptical cross trainer. I'm up to (usually) 3 x 1hr in a week. My Apple Watch says I'm going about 5.7 miles. Wasn't too unhappy with this as it's nearly 10k However today I happened to record a walk with my husband at 4 miles in

T3 "eating" up my HRT hormones? Hypo

post menopausal 53 and lost
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with early menopause years when I was c.45 & took hrt until I got an under active thyroid, c4 years ago.. I’ve noticed some vaginal atrophy, which bothers me, although I’m currently single, I hope I won’t always be. Is this just something I have to accept? The journey

Knee replacement
Morning my lovely friends! I have to have a knee replacement in the very near future. I am on 4 mg Pred, can probably get down to 3,5 mg. before I have it. Your experiences please —— I am 80 years old and really worried about it. I do understand that it is very very painful but does the Pred hinder
