Side effects of viral meningitis
Hi there. Just joined to ask a question. My son had viral meningitis at 4 weeks old and ended up on a ventilator for a week. Now he’s 5 and although fine physically I worry that he’s attention span and general concentration isn’t v good. Has anyone had experience of this? Could this b due to the meningitis

More advice please!
I’m hoping that after the excellent advice I’ve already received from this Forum you will be able to help again. I previously asked for advice on coming off Ropinirole as I suffered a gambling addiction through it plus I was augmenting. Obviously all the advice was to get off Ropinirole as soon as possible

Sertraline and RLS is there a connection?
I have had RLS on and off for years and taking Citalopram for depression and anxiety. I started taking an iron supplement which did eradicate the RLS at one point. I have been moved over to Sertraline from Citalopram and since then my RLS has been horrendous, like many of the posters on here I've been

3 Months post viral meningitis
I’ve been a member for a few months now, trying to get advice from others or just to read everyone else’s stories. Here’s mine... The end of May I noticed I had swollen glands in the back of my neck and a bad headache. Took some ibuprofen and forgot about it. A few days later I was having neck pain along

Baclofen
In addition to RLS I have a very painful (nerve) condition which I be also been taking Gabapentin for. My nerve pain has gotten seriously out of control even with the Gabapentin so I want to see if Baclofen will work better. In order to start the Baclofen I have to first wean down the Gabapentin. Does

Lyrica Augmentation?
I'm back again at another point in my journey! I've gone from DA augmentation and withdrawal to now being on Lyrica at a dose of 300mg. For a month or so I'd slept well and no RL symptoms at all to speak of. In the last four days I've been experiencing some RL symptoms in the early - late afternoon

RLS in Pregnancy
Hi I am 28weeks pregnant and have restless legs and arms at night for about 6 weeks now. I am averaging 2-3 hours sleep, if that a night. So far I have been trying to treat at home with a combination of Epsom salts baths, massage, stretching, magnesium supplements and essential oils. Nothing seems to

Five month update
It's been 5 months since I started FECO (full spectrum cannabis oil). Since it's been a while since I've posted, I'll recap: my RLS was very severe. It affected me 24 hours a day. Unrelenting. I live in Mexico and tramadol is OTC here and i had to monitor my usage careful not to exceed 2000 mgs/24 hours

Second bout of VM?
I contracted viral meningitis caused by HSV 2 in April 2019. Luckily was only in hospital a couple of days and was able to go home once they got the headaches and pain under control. I was sent home and instructed to take almost 3 grams of Acyclovir for 10 days. After the 10 days my primary care dr

My mum has suffered from rls since about 8 years, she's been on many medications and all will work for a while.

Requip and restless leg
I’ve been on requip for 15 years- I take 2mg in morning and 2 mg at night. I don’t like it I think it is causing augmentation and I wake up nauseated. I would love to get off but have heard horror stories about withdrawal! Getting off may make my restless leg and Parkinson’s worse! I don’t know what

Shingles Vaccine
My Rheumatologist has recommended that I get a shingles vaccination before starting biologics. Anyone else under 50 and received vaccine? Any adverse events? I’ve read mixed reviews since no studies have been conducted on safety of vaccine in patients with autoimmune disease. I am getting it tomorrow

Impetigo
Hi everyone, I am still on Pred for PMR and should be meeting someone tomorrow who has been diagnosed with Impetigo. Would it be advisable to give them a wide berth. Thank you, Jenny x

Anyone have Sjorgen's or dry mouth too?
I know PBC and Sjorgen's tend to go hand in hand so this might help someone else. I was at the Mayo Clinic last week and it was suggested I may have Sjorgen's too. He also said PBC alone can cause dry mouth. I have a very dry mouth, dry eyes, etc. My teeth are brittle, they just started cracking in

Oxycodone Dopamine Agonist?
So I have just come off of ropinirole for restless leg due to augmentation and I’m now taking oxycodone 5 mg before bedtime. This is really been helping and I was hoping it would be good for the transitioning from Ropinerol. I just read that oxycodone is an agonist. Does this mean I will have augmentation
