Little update
I’ve been having some jaw and tooth pain lately so I begrudgingly brought myself to the dentist. My least favorite place to be. I hadn’t been to a dentist in years but for once that’s actually my choice. I hated my old dentist and vowed never to go to the dentist again after my parents told me they thought

Merster here finally with some clarity
I have been fighting rls for 3 yrs now. Sometimes contemplating what kind of soution suicide might be as nothing else was relieving the horrible insomnia and daily pain and nerve sensations it was producing. I was on a low dose pain management drug ms contin until heart surgery in 2015 and thought

Shingles
I have been diagnosed with shingles. I noticed a rash on Thursday, however because it wasn’t hurting at all I didn’t think much of it which was very silly of me! I went to the doctor on yesterday as it was spreading and i was told it was shingles. I’m surprised that after now 6 days the rash is there

Very bad taste in my mouth
Hello everyone, I’ve had acid reflux off and on since this PMR/GCA experience, but for 3-4 weeks it’s been a lot worse. I’ve recently had a lot of stress, can this be a factor? It seems to hit about an hour or so after eating. I’ve been managing it somewhat by watching diet, taking Tums, and

Shingles injection
I've finally made it down to 1/2mg every other day. My Doctor wants me to have the shingles injection. Does anyone know if this can cause an issue?? I've been reducing the pred for 2 1/2 yrs, very very slowly and haven't had a flare and don't want one at this stage. Appreciate any thoughts. many

Even more advise please!
Hi everyone, I’m trying to get off Ropinirole, I have lowered the dose over the last few days which means I am now on 0.25mg. I also started on 25mg of Pregabalin at the same time I reduced the Ropinirole. My doctor has told me to increase the Pregabalin by 25mg every week till I reach 100mg. I would

Beds and mattresses
I’m having a terrible time sleeping. I wake up every couple of hours - sometimes even less and I know I’m tired. I’ve got the room totally darkened out and quiet. The temperature is fine too yet every night I waken over and over again. Usually I waken up really hot. I blame my mattress. At the moment

Neupro helps a little
My sleep study doctor said my main issue affecting my sleep is restless leg. He gave me a sample of Neupro which is a patch. It helped a little bit. Last night I tried grape seed extract right at bedtime and I didn't notice my RLS as much. Hope that helped.

Gastric Issues after Meningitis?
I am 8 months post meningitis. I am still struggling with after effects. Trembling, brain fog and numb spots. My question....Anyone have gastric issues? Diarrhea? Mine has been bad last week or so. Appetite has never been totally back to normal. I never can tell if new symptoms are meningitis related

Withdrawal from ropinarole
I have been on ropinarole for 10 years starting at 1mg then moving on to 3mg daily. I think I started argumenting because I couldn't sleep any more. I started to wean myself of the ropinarole and got down to 1mg but couldn't go any less because the restless leg was driving me crazy. My doctor put me

PMR? or not PMR? - that is the question.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of alternative conditions that might be / have been misdiagnosed as PMR?. e.g there appears to be some evidence that Lyme disease may present the identical clinical picture as PMR.

I am not an epileptic.
Had my EEG earlier. All clear for me. He has no advice for me, bar, don't ever stop taking Gabapentin, for the love of God, don't stop. I asked for a 90 day supply of Keppra, of course he said yes. More drugs, why not?

My RLS has become worse!!
From all I've read here, people's RLS gets better with passing weeks of the withdrawals. For me, it has been a reverse case. While the initial weeks weren't so bad, the last week or so has been horrible. I remember even during the withdrawal period that I slept for 4hours straight or on some good days

Stomach acid-reducing drugs may raise risk of future allergies
I really don't feel the need to say much as an introduction after all the PPI posts here. However, I shall take one sentence from the paper:
We report an epidemiologic relationship between gastric acid-suppression and development of allergic symptoms.
And then suggest, while PPIs might have their

I dont know WHAT just happened
I've had bad anxiety all day, I was in the car when I felt myself fading away like I was fainting but it felt like a build-up in my brain and body of electricity? I thought I was going to start seizing. I could barely move. I was shouting for my boyfriend to take me to the hospital. I thought I was going
