Covid: How a £20 gadget could save lives
Not sure if this has already been posted but thought it was very interesting. Link to BBC site below. One of the mysteries of Covid-19 is why oxygen levels in the blood can drop to dangerously low levels without the patient noticing. It is known as "silent hypoxia". As a result, patients have been arriving

Is Amitryptiline contra indicated with Pred?
Sadly, Co-codamol only worked for two nights. Then I remembered that I had been prescribed Ami with Morphine Sulphate when I had a herniated disc. It was still in date and for the last two nights I took it at 8pm , as I had done before , light off at 12MD and slept through until 9am. That may not

RLS TREATMENT: Every day I read questions and answers on this forum and I would like to share with you some of my concerns
about the replies given to the many RLS sufferers who are struggling with their medication. All medications, if you read the leaflets, have side-effects and complications and at the end of the day, we have to weigh up which ones are going to be effective for each of us individually. 1.Dopamine Agonists

how to speak to your GP about very low TSH
hi, I have Lyme disease and Hashimoto's and I'm currently taking combination T3 and T4 therapy ( after reading that this can be a game-changer for people who are chronically ill with Lyme and struggling to get better) my previous TSH was 0.32, my T3 was just outside the top third of the normal range

Augmentation & No sleep
I am in need of help please. Some of you have seen my posts before and the recommendations I have appreciated BUT now I am desperate for a decision which my doctor is unable to commit to!! I have split Ropinirole 0.25mg tablets now for 8 weeks plus and still taking a 50mg Tranadol capsule. Nothing works

Coconut water
I read a post from a while back on here about a guy that had gotten RLS when he had a nasty case of the flu. He talked about how beneficial coconut water was for his RLS. I was skeptical of course, so I looked it up. Pregnant women use it sometimes for the potassium and everything. Since it’s packed

Some foods tasting soapy
I started noticing certain foods tasting like perfumed soap / liquid detergent two weeks ago. First it was pork foods. Then seasame oil (so soapy it made me gag) and peanut butter. Just now I had to spit out raw pepper as it also had exact same soapy flavour. It's not pregancy but I did have my Mirena

Oral thrush and RA meds
I take sulphasalazine and methotrexate for inflammatory arthritis. Condition is fairly well controlled but I have suffered with oral thrush and resulting very bad breath for over a month.

Still have to completely avoid triggers while on opioids?
So, with the possibility of a hospital admittance being in my future, I’m sure they’ll want to get me on medications for my stomach that will not agree with my legs. They’ll also probably have me eating a BRAT diet. I’m scared. Last night I woke up a bunch of times and I was restless and had nothing

Hello all - I saw the neurologist here in Seattle this past week about moving from Ropinirole to Buprenorphine due to augmentation. He decided I should move over to 900 mg Gabapentin before bed instead. I have been taking 300 mg of gabapentin 3 x daily for other reasons. During the discussion he

Partner suffered cardiac arrest
Last Saturday my partner suffered a cardiac arrest whilst out on a run. I was running separately and came across him getting CPR, luckily from an off duty cardiac surgeon, with the ambulance on the phone. He is 29 and very fit, we moved into a new flat a week ago and we were lugging stuff in no problem

CBD and THC
I still use CBD and THC for pain it works really well HOWEVER the prescribing doctors don’t realise we need very specific plants or it can make it worse. I have been on Nanibis it works well for pain the doctor changed it to a brand called spectrum from Canada and it overrode my buprenorphine. I thought

Telemetry EEG
We are currently trying to convince the hospital to give my partner a longer EEG (telemetry) than the standard 1-hour. He continues to suffer from long seizures and we are keen to understand why. The reason for a wish for telemetry is that he still has seizures but not on a hourly basis. It is therefore

Knee pain
So, at work today I developed a bit of pain behind my knee- it also had a sense of numbness around it. Just got in with the day, but sitting in the sofa tonight, it’s been more painful, and it’s been difficult to bed without tight pain. I asked my daughter to look and she said there is a lump behind

Shingles - part 3
After much googling, I can see that this is indeed shingles even though I only have 5 spots. The GP was actually quite panicky, he told me to come down immediately and pick up Aciclovir, he said that 5 spots is probably just the start and it must be nipped in the bud and worse still I am to stop taking

Restless leg relief ideas
