ICU/Covid/PEA Arrest/Coma
My mom who has neuropathy was admitted on 12/30 with covid. She was septic due to c. diff/colitis...They started to treat her accordingly. Her heart stopped 4 days later, which required compressions to bring her back. During intubation she was bleeding through tube, to assure there was no bleeding internally

Cellulitis in foot and hands, leading to dramatic skin changes all over my body
I have primary lymphoedema in my left foot which has been well controlled through compression and daily creaming of the affected area. Despite showing no signs of any lesion I developed cellulitis which went un-diagnosed for a week or so as I was unaware of what it was. My foot and ankle were very swollen

Weaning off Ropinirole
I am currently in the process of Ropinirole withdrawal. I was on 3mg per day having started on .5mg. My legs had started to play up as early as 11am in the morning, and I guess I was augmenting. My GP has put on Gabapentin 200mg at night and am reducing the Ropinirole by 0.25 each week. At the

Lactobacillus reuteri , Mucuna Pruriens , and magnesium malate to treat RLS
Hello, Newbie to the forum wondering if Mucuna Pruriens is used by people on this forum? Magnesium Malate , which helps the iron cross the BBB? And Lactobacillus Reuteri? (Recommended for RLS by Dr. Will Davis)

Hello. I’m new here.
Hello RLS forum. I’m new here. I’m already learning a lot from reading your posts and responses. I could quickly tell that it is mostly women on this forum. It is a kinder and gentler place than the Parkinson’s forum with predominately older men. What a relief! I have anxiety which is greatly worsened

recommendations for high cholesterol med please
I stopped taking my cholesterol meds in November, just tested again and it's now 371. For RLS I'm now on gabapentin (100mg) and .5mg requip (need to transition off). My RLS is the best it's been in years! However, my doc wants me to continue to take the pravastatin (80mg) for the high cholesterol

Not waking after sedation weaned
My sons father has been in the ICU 13 days septic and in multiple organ failure due to an unknown bacterial infection. At one point his cardio output was at 15%, was on full ventilator, and dialysis for his kidney. After about 10 days the infection and fever seemed to clear up. On Friday they stopped

While I remember….
While I was sharing a four bay ward post hip replacement, two ladies - who had a total knee replacement and the other a half knee replacement - told me that although, like me, they had a spinal block plus sedation they both could hear the sawing and hammering and what the surgeons were saying…. but

RLS and antidepressants
I’d be grateful for advice on this, as I feel I would benefit from an antidepressant. I’ve had RLS for decades, getting gradually more of a nuisance in the last 10 years or so, and have taken Codeine 30mg for several years, which helps to an extent, sometimes! I know antidepressants make RLS worse. I

Bye Bye Tramadol
Since I started methadone a couple months ago, I understand better about the difficulties I started to have with Tramadol. BTW, I went cold turkey off Tramadol, because methadone would negate it anyway. I realize now that after 4-5 years on Tramadol I was augmenting badly. I didn't realize what was

Buprenorphine finished. What alternative opiates are available?
After four weeks of insomnia and continued PLMs on 15 mgc patches, I shall abandon the treatment. I’d be grateful for advice on a.) potential withdrawal issues, and b.) alternative opiates.

Lessons from last Dr. appt: drug testing for kratom and a Suboxone issue
Hi, All. I went to a new doctor last week and she did a blood test which gave immediate results. Posters have mentioned being worried about kratom and drug testing…but she said there is no test for kratom...just wanted to pass that along. The Delta 8 gummies showed up, as did Suboxone. I learned another

Binaural Beats: Ditch the Theta Waves!
[u]
Somebody on FB warned me that PwP probably should not be amping up their theta waves as their theta waves were already amped up. I dug into this and they seem to be correct, so please ditch any theta wave (6 Hz) Binaural Beats you have downloaded.
