Does half dose of sertraline make any difference?
I’ve spoken to a GP this morning (not my usual one, sadly) about my restless legs having returned since taking sertraline. She mentioned other antidepressants as an alternative but all of them are listed as having restless legs as side effects. She suggested halving the dose. As I’m only on the lowest

Body and face sores
I’m almost 3 years into my CLL diagnosis with fatigue being my main symptom. But lately I’ve been getting these large sores that look like a small boil that itch, hang around for a few day and dry out my skin then go away? I also have been getting small patches of little tiny blisters that come and

Compression boots w/heat
Hello, So far the only the only things I have found to help my severe RLS is 15 mgs of methodone w/400 mgs of magnesium (long term fix about 24 hrs), hot baths with epsom salt (short term fix, maybe 30 mins.) Being how I do NOT want to be on methodone for ever. I am looking for other solutions.

chicken pox and pmr
My granddaughter has just been diagnosed with chicken pox. It’s her first birthday tomorrow and the following day, a party and bbq was planned. This may go ahead in a shortened form as she appears only mildly affected. My question is - am I at risk of catching chicken pox (severely) if I am in the same

alternative to sertraline due to restless legs
I have suffered restless legs all my life. A few years ago my dr checked my ferritin level. It was very low and I took iron. My legs got better and I was elated. No one had ever told me there was such a simple solution in all my 71 years. I have also taken sertraline in the past but never associated

Very high IgE levels
Does anyone else with autoimmune PA have a sky high IgE level as I do? Since diagnosis mine has been around 2000 KIU/L (normal range <20). I don’t suffer from any of the conditions usually associated with very high serum IgE such as aspergillosis, Hodgkin’s Disease etc, so whatever has caused it is

Shingles Vaccine

chicken pox
I would appreciate advice on chicken pox I had chicken pox as an adult when my children got it. I have also had a shingles vaccine. My grandson is just recovering and we’re waiting to see if his sister catches it. I’m on 5mg prednisone and we’re wondering if I should still be careful and stay clear

insomnia
I need some one who is taking CBD for insomnia with success to share the brand of CBD he is taking with me. From my past posts you may be familiar with my oxycodone-induced insomnia. The Hempland USA Cannabitol has lost effect after 7-8 months of daily dosage of 83.4 mg every night. I am now again

Restless Legs Medication - Ropinirole and Gabapentin
I was diagnosed with Restless legs syndrome around 2012 and was prescribed ropinirole. I started on 0.5 mg increasing to 1 mg, and this worked for a while.

Restless leg syndrome
Having suffered from RLS on and off since childhood it now starts in the morning and continues all day until I can take Ropinirole at nighttime. It seems little research is being done what can we do to persuade some scientist somewhere to take this on and relieve the pain and distress experienced

Tonsillitis question and mtx
Hi. My 3 year old granddaughter has just got back from A&E and she has tonsillitis and has been given antibiotics. I’m due my MTX jab tomorrow and as it’s bank holiday I can’t get hold of Rheumy nurse. On the internet the NHS says it not contagious but the bacterial or viral infection that causes tonsillitis
