Steroids with general anaesthetic
Do I need to double the dose of my steroids (currently 11.5) on the day of hysteroscopy under general anaesthetic and also on the day afterwards? Preop assessment didn't mention it have just been reading around and feel really nervous now. Especially as I've been taking steroids for 21 years.

Starting Ropinirole as a first med for RLS?
I have had more severe RLS since last March, which is possibly a Long-Covid symptom. So far I have had my iron/ferritin tested. My ferritin was on 25 initially but has gone up to 45 after taking oral iron supplement which I still continue to take. My RSL has not improved much yet though. It is still

RLS and Magnesium
Has anyone experienced this? I started taking Magnesium for my RLS but each time I take it I get terrible cramps in my legs and toes several times a night. Yet Magnesium is used to get rid of cramp. I am not subject to cramp normally. Perhaps it’s the same mechanism as Homeopathic remedies whereby a

Any thoughts here?
My husband was put on GABApentin, stilnox and madopar. He only used madopar once. He’s afraid to continue it. Although he did notice last night his legs were more restless without it . This process is so frustrating as he’s been withdrawing from opiates since one month. Any feedback from anyone is helpful

Get woken up by Restless Legs
So whilst I tend to have fidgety legs during the day, I'm not bothered by them. However, night times are a different matter. I have no problems falling asleep but approx. 90 mins into my sleep I'm awoken by me restless legs and am often then awake for 2-4 hours before falling asleep again. I was originally

Please advise!
Things don't seem to be getting better at night. While I have foot tightening and spasm like sensations during the day, I get an irresistible urge to stretch my legs at night so I can never get comfortable in bed. Sometimes I have to lie on top of the blankets to get any relief. I had a chat with my

Sore mouth, ulcers, avastin.
Had avastin added to my carbo/taxol regime two weeks a go. For the last 10 days I ha ve had a painful, sore burning mouth and ulcers on my tongue. I’ve been using the mouthwashes from the hospital, which haven’t really helped but sting a lot! Anyone else suffer with this and how long does it last?

Does shingles cause Hashimoto’s to flare up?
I have had Hashimoto’s now for about 3 years and I’m still finding it hard navigating my way through the symptoms and flare ups.

General anaesthetic recovery period
I have a problem in that I have to have a hysteroscopy under general anaesthetic the day after tomorrow and it had been arranged that my daughter would stay with me for 24 hours as advised by hospital. She now finds that she can't do this - for reasons I don't fully understand - and that she would stay

ADHD diagnosed 68 years old grandma
I got my first D in 3rd grade and my first F in 4th grade, and was used as an example by 5th grade teacher as a lazy day dreamer that was a waist of his time. As an under achiever, I was an imbarrassment to my parents. I became socially awkward, so I walked to school instead of riding the bus. I
