Painkillers
I have been on Gabapentin and Tramadol for 5 years to help with pain. I have now been told GP will no longer prescribe as they are shown to have no effect on chronic pain and are addictive. Anyone else had the same?

How to switch from pramipexole to pregabalin?
How to switch from pramipexole to pregabalin?I have been taking 0.7 mg of pramipexole 2 hours before bedtime for a long time without it helping particularly well. Now so plagued by augmentation that I actually can't sleep at night. Is plagued by both pain and restlessness in the legs and feet. During

When should I take gabapentin and buprenorphine ?
I am planning on starting to withdraw from pramipexole. I have been prescribed gabapentin on a daily dose of 3 x 600mg daily to start taking as I withdraw off pramipexole. Should I start with 600mg for a few days, then add another 600mg dose say a week later, and then an additional 600mg a week after

Does this sound like endo?
I have had chronic pelvic/ lower back pain for the past 12 years, it flares up to the point where I can't do anything, but lay in bed and then after a few days to weeks it calms down to just the "usual pain/ache" and the cycle continues. I have been to see so many doctors and trips to A&E over the years

Update on first visit with Neurologist
Well, finally landed on my feet with this neurologist. Her name is Dr.Phillips, she is in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada for anyone out here seeking a neurologist. For those not familiar with the health system structure in Canada, one can ONLY get in to see a Neurologist with a referral form a first

Late Expectations
Then it all stopped and the fatigue, blurry head,
leg
pain
/weakness has returned. Rightly or wrongly I have cut tablets in half because I just want to function. Does this make any sense to anyone? Grateful for any advice.

Seeking advice on burning feet symptom and an endocronoligist recommendation in London
Hi everyone. Over the last two years I’ve learnt so much from this site and I’m very grateful. I’m looking for some advice relating to my hypothyroid symptoms. I was diagnosed nearly three years ago and am taking 50mg of Teva. My symptoms arrived suddenly, and I still have bouts of anxiety and depression

Negative SVT Ablation experience
Good Morning All, So I had my SVT Ablation on Thursday at St Thomas’. Not a great experience. Procedure took 3 and half hours. I was awake the whole time and conscious of everything! Four puncture wounds on groin. Two either side. I could feel the catheters going up into my veins and tweaking around

ropinirole for travel?
Until last July I had been taking 1mg of ropinirole 3 x daily. Since then I have successfully weaned myself off 2 mg during the day and only take 1 mg at night. Three months ago I began seeing a specialist and she has me on 75 mg 3x a day. My question: I am taking a trip to Europe in May and am worried

Biopsy prior lap
Hello ladies! I am about to have a partial hysterectomy in december, i am already terrified, gutted, i am s...ing on myself with fear. My consultant told me I need to have a biopsy from my womb prior to surgery so he can know there is nothing dodgy there except a lot of fibroids he has already seen

Completely lost
I’m 72 & in general good health (I think) except for Osteopenia and that I inherited Restless Legs from my mum. I started on .25mg Ropinirole 7 years ago which was like magic but it’s slowly increased to 3x.25mg per night. Perhaps not a big dose but I learned via this site it’s best to switch from Ropinirole

Pregabalin
Could someone please provide me with a link for the Mayo Clinic for up to date information on RLS. I have found one Mayo Clinic document that uses Pramipexole and Ropinirole as treatment for RLS. I thought these meds were not used anymore? Thank you.

Viral meningitis
My 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with viral meningitis last weekend and this was confirmed on Monday. Initially she was given antiviral and antibiotics because they was unsure if it was bacterial meningitis. She had been unwell for 5 or 6 weeks. Permanent headache that painkillers didn't touch

To family and friends who help us
HiThis post is a bit different from me. Those who have read any posts I've written know I have health conditions that like all of us we have to get on with no matter how much they suck. The side most people know about me where I live is that I'm a family carer. I have been a carer for different family

FND or effects from severe Tinnitus
I'm new to FND and awaiting a EEG. My question is could I have FND? I've read so much in a short space of time and in some respects it has severe physical effects and on the other hand iit seems a very broad diagnosis. Here is my story.., I've had tinnitus several years, though in the last two years

coccyx pain
hello, I’m having issues with coccyx pain and am wondering whether it’s another exciting (😒) symptom of FA. I’m still ambulatory so not a wheelchair user but am having the problem when sitting on an upright chair- so I’m avoiding doing that as much as I can but it’s not always possible. I bought a

Magnesium and Lavender
I take Magnesium capsules at night to sleep and since starting, I rarely feel RLS. If I'm particularly exhausted, I do feel it, in which case, I use Feather and Down Sleep butter. It stops it in seconds. It is lavender-based. There is a version that also has a dose of Magnesium in it. I'd surmise that
