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

Apnea due to opioid use?
I read that one of the causes of central sleep apnea is opioid use. That puts the person at risk for stroke or heart issues. There apparently is no treatment for refractory RLS that doesn't have serious side effects. My question is this: Has anyone with RLS developed apnea as a probable result of opioids

What's your experience with gabapentin side effects going away?
I have read that gabapentin side effects can go away after one or two weeks. I was taking 600 mg of gabapentin while coming off ropinirole which I am now off of. It helped me sleep at night but did not stop my restless legs, nor the pain I had in my legs during the day. So experimenting, I tried 900

Signs of B12 deficiency in the mouth
Hi All, I posted most of this on another thread but thought I'd start my own thread in case someone found it useful. Sometimes the route to diagnosis of B12 deficiency can involve other health professionals besides GPs. If you have a GP who won't listen to your concerns about B12 deficiency maybe other

Poor sleep hygiene
Before the age of 20 when I started making sense of RLS I think I learned to violate every rule or guideline they suggest for a good nights sleep. I was too young and clueless to know these bad habits and coping mechanisms would become hard wired and difficult to overcome. I remember trying to be distracted

Lyrica restart?
Lyrica worked fabulously for my PLMD even at 50mg. Unfortunately I increased the dose to 300mg. over time to deal with insomnia, which caused daytime sedation and depression. I am now slowly reducing the Lyrica, hoping maybe the lower dose will work for my PLMD and not cause those side effects. As

Dopamine agonists and their aftermath - A Survey
Hello All I have been off dopamine agonists for more than two years now, thanks to methadone and buprenorphine. Both were - and are - a blessing (insofar as any drugs could be called such), as many of you will know. But I would like to know how many of us feel, even long after quitting dopamine agonists

Neurologist
I had been to the hospital to a neurologist. I was given ropinirole after gabapentin stopped working for me. I read that rls is caused by lack of dopamine in the brain.

Anaesthetics and Pred
Consultant was unable to complete a hysteroscopy this morning as he and I agreed it was causing too much pain. I'm now to have it done under general anaesthetic and wonder about taking pred. on that day. I've read back over some posts but am not clear whether one takes one's own medication into hospital

RLS and Azelastine HCL nose spray
Suddenly I started getting RLS, even on low dose Methadone. I am thinking it is the Azelastine as it is an antihistamine, but I cannot find any literature on it. The only other thing that changed was a slight reduction in Lithium. I don't have any discontinuation symptoms, so I don't think it is that

Stress triggering meningitis
What are your thoughts on stress being a trigger for a viral infection and triggering viral meningitis and M.E? Do you think stress plays a contributing factor?

Cold Sores and Rituximab
Hi Everyone Great news about the very positive effect the vaccines are having on Covid cases - onwards and upwards. Does anyone have any ideas why I have had 4 cold sores in 4 or 5 weeks? They started before my Covid vaccine so it isn't that. I had my last round of Rituximab in November 2020 after

Can this really just be anxiety
Iv been feeling rough again this week. Convinced it's something more than anxiety. I have a sore throat which dr reckons is from reflux. He also says I have ibs. My throat is red, as yellow spots and is swollen. I get tingling inside my mouth especially lip area, some of this now has ulcers. Cant have

Chronic Shingles & Hashi/Hypo
Anyone else get Shingles everytime their TSH rises due to Hashi’s & it’s time for an increase in Levo.mg’s? This has been my pattern for a year now. First round was face/neck second was armpits. Both times bilateral. Shingles vaccine has not been an option for me because I can’t go long enough in between

more about sleep
I am also taking ginger root and ginkgo bilboa (these for tinnitus) so maybe that has helped along with the gaba. Anyway the restless legs is about gone after years so I will keep on taking those 3 things!

Does RLS ever go away? One week off patch and no issues
I was diagnosed with RLS about 2 years ago and I’ve been on 1mg Neupro since then, after trying another med that didn’t help. Recently I ran out of patches and had a struggle reaching my doctor for a new prescription and then another struggle getting a coupon for a rebate. Long story short, I haven’

Neupro vs Pregabalin
Tomorrow I take my last .25 tab of Ropinirole. My neurologist is switching me from Gabapentin to Pegabalin which I welcome. I had a welness visit with my GP yesterday and she has messaged me about Neupro. I do not want to go through anything like coming off Ropinirole ever again. My question is which

Fluoride toothpaste
Hi I’m using Durophat 5000 toothpaste , my teeth are weak despite calcium supplements I’m using this toothpaste to protect my precious teeth , I get a dry mouth due to RA too . As I apply the Durophat topically to 2 particular teeth to add more protection I’m wondering if it’s inhibiting my Liothyronine
