COPD and RLS
I have emphysema and have tried many inhalers and every one of them aggravated the restless legs. I am on Ropinirole, but still and all it got impossible for me to take. Are there any inhalers for COPD that would not aggravate the legs. My doctor feels it necessary to use inhalers, but I refuse as

Hi all, wondering if anyone knows if you can take Lysine tablet form when on MTX I’ve heard it prevents cold sores. Any help would be appreciated?

Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless leg syndrome. I have found 75mg pregabalin works (mostly) for twitches but still the nerve endings 'crawling' in my lower left leg that can reach a painful peak..

Shingles vaccine
Has anyone here has the shingles vaccine? I know that the usual one is a live vaccine but the nurse at the surgery told me that there is a two-dose non-live one I could have if it didn’t compromise my condition. I do have a haematology phone appointment coming up but not for a few weeks yet so I wondered

What to take after Methadone
I have been on Methadone for about 3 years and though it works well the constipation was so bad, I finally came off of Methadone and want to go on a drug that isn't an opiod. Does anyone have any suggestion. Been on requip, Mirapex, gabapentin and wondering what will work? I just cracked my femur

Methadone vs buprenorphine/naloxone
Hello all. I am in the "fortunate" position of being offered either methadone or Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) for my refractory RLS. I have been taking a very low dose of methadone --1/4 of a 5mg tab once daily--for only 3-1/2 weeks and I fall asleep quickly and sleep uninterrupted about 5

I added Mucinex to my list of DO NOT TAKE over the counter meds.
Well, I finally got IT... yes, covid. My husband came home with it and four days later I came down with it. I was trying to get ahead of it by taking Mucinex the second night so I could prevent it spreading into my lungs as much as possible. My whole body jerked and thrashed all night long plus I

Great RLS & Augmentation Articles (all available as PDFs)
I thought I’d share several articles that give, as far as I can tell, the best, evidence-based guidance for RLS and PLMD treatment + augmentation info. which can all be invaluable tools for understanding RLS, PLMD and augmentation. Note some of the authors names. 1)

Pramipexole vacations
I am currently completely off Pramipexole for 7 months, after being on it for 6 years. It was the only medication that gave me excellent relief and no side effects, except one sudden episode of augmentation . All the augmentation symptoms have resolved, but the symptoms of course are daily and last

Muscles in lower back all rigid and locked up
Hi, the muscles around my lower back have been locked up for a few weeks now. I find using an electric blanket has helped. I also use "winter green' (methyl salicylate) sports rub, with limited effect. Taking a couple of Ibuprofen and a co-codamol help too, but it's still very immobile and limits

A brief respite and now back with a vengeance
I suffer from restless legs syndrome and was prescribed pramipexole. I started a reduction program several months ago and by September I was down to half a tablet today. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy 3 moths ago. Unbeknown to me the surgery temporarily raised my ferritin

My Opinion: Collateral Damage due to Discontinuance of Pramipexole
Hi, All. I was going to write about this year's months-long Hell due to discontinuance of pramipexole virtually cold-turkey, following more than two decades of daily use. Having found that circumstance recently has been described by others, I think it may be more helpful if I instead comment on the

All regular use sublingual opioid medications etc how to protect your teeth.
REGULAR use of sublingual medications, from opioids to Valium etc I break mine into tiny pin head size pieces with a pill cutter. I know 200 mcg Temgesic or 2 mg of Buprenorphine looks very small, however I have followed this process for over 3 years now. - Reasons - Absorption in seconds - Better

Foods that "reduce" glutamate
As I am trying to reduce sedating Pregabalin dosage, I noticed that blueberries are a good food, not only OKAY but actually react to glutamate in a positive way. I don't understand all of the mechanisms but then I googled "foods that reduce glutamate" and found interesting info. One thing, for example

RLS study
just completed phase 1 of an RLS study of a wearable e-stim device for RLS. For me, redults were mixed. Worked well on Right leg which has much milder symptoms than the left. The left did not respond well to the continuous stim. When I’ve used TNS in the past, a modulated wave form was more effective

How do you know your circadian rhythm?
This week I will be starting methadone, which may be the answer for me. If effective, it would give me a chance to change my sleeping pattern from 4am to noon to something more normal. My question is this: How do I determine what my current circadian rhythm is? It might be that I actually am still
