Am I finally on to something?
About two years ago I woke up with a headache and a bloody nose. I thought the air was just dry so I got ready for work and ended up almost passing out in my car as I was driving. I’m not 100% sure this incident is at all related BUT immediately after this happened my symptoms started and have continued

What's working for me, at least sort of
I say "at least sort of" because it's a case of nightly trial and error. But here's what I'm pinning my hopes on right now: 2 hours before I hope to go to sleep, I take a 100 mg capsule of medicinal grade CBD, along with 1 capsule of L-Theanine (I'm unsure of the mg.) and a 400 mg. tablet of magnesium

Positive aspects
https://www.presseportal.de/pm/128908/3942846 First of all I am sure to make mistakes in the English language. Sorry. The above link refers to a German Professor of Chemistry - Dr. Claudia Friesen. Maybe some of you have heard of her. I hadn't so far. A few days ago she was on Austrian TV about her

Pramipexole side effects
I've been on 2 x 0.88 Pramipexole for 6 months having spent all my adult life (I'm now almost 60) feeling tired during the day and very gradually getting RLS. I use a CPAP machine for central apnoeas, and then a sleep study showed that RLS/periodic limb movement was repeatedly waking me in the night.

Weaning off pramipexerol
Almost 2 weeks without pramipexerol. I'm taking lyrica 300 mg with 5 mg of oxycodone as a back- up. My question is can you have augmentation from lyrica? If so, how can I tell if it's the Lyrica that I'm augmenting from or if I'm still getting rid of the pramipexole in my system? I have frequent bad

Video EEG results
Got 6 day video EEG results yesterday and the seizure I had during my stay was not picked up as the consultant said it likely did not last long enough. I have simple partial seizures mostly sensory and left sided. It lasted about 1-2 mins. This was my 2nd hospital stay video EEG but the first with reduction

24/7 Light-headedness & Faintness Story
Hello all. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now, but I've had standard anxiety all my life. For some background context, I'm 25, self-employed, and write books for a living. I spend upwards of 10-15 hours every day staring at screens for writing, relaxation, and everything in between.

Could it be that I've changed my antidepressent to morning?
I've just realised that I still feel a bit out of it this morning and it couldn't possibly be from taking that one dose of Amitriptyline 36 hours ago. Then I remembered I've also changed taking my Citalopram 10mg from nighttime to morning, as my nurse said the Citalopram can cause insomnia. But it can

ICU after cardiac arrest
Hi - My mom had an out of hospital cardiac arrest following a heart attack last Friday (it’s now Saturday). CPR was started immediately and a stint was put into her artery within 2 hours. She is fit and healthy with no prior medical issues, apart from hypertension that is controlled through a prescription

Single mother of a innocent, beautiful, struggling emotionally daughter with Epilepsy.
She was Diagnosed in 2011 when she was 10. The Red Cross did an amazing job, Dr Riordan has always been understanding and considerate. Dr Nico Enslin and Prof Fieggen did two brain operations. The first one lasted 3 months before seizures came back, 2nd operation Dr Enslin pushed for as he told me her
