Endo to end all Endo!!!
I had a bad turn today, i was busy watching tv, when i had the most horrid griping hot poker in my left groin pain. It made me gasp, so i took a painkiller. Does anyone take anything else for it?. Is there a better painkiller than co-codamol. I've just had another pain as i type. Why won't it leave

Repeated episodes of unconsciousness due to potential Thyroid Storm?
I am currently taking 125mcg T4, and 18.75mcg T3 split into two daily doses (overall, 2/3 of a 25mcg tablet of T3). I’ve been taking T3 for around 5 years now. In terms of feeling better, it’s been a *huge* success. However, I’ve also been having episodes of unconsciousness over the past 5 years

Supplements for arthritis and rivaoxaban
Hi all My husband has paroxysmal AF and a pacemaker takes digoxin and Rivaoxaban. He has slight arthritis in both knees(too much playing hockey in his younger days!) and not bad enough to take painkillers all the time. Bothers him the most after sitting for a while and then moving again. Before his

Weaning off high dose Pramipexole
I have had RLS since the 1970s. Some years ago I had augmentation. At the time I was taking the maximum recommended dose of Pramipexole, .75mg. My neurologist addressed it by a pramipexole vacation and prescribed carbidopa levodopa for 3 months. Seemed odd as it is a dopamine drug but it worked

Palindromic RhA
I get bouts of very severe
pain
in one limb (
leg
, arm, hand for instance) which only lasts about 48 hours - perfectly OK between bouts which on average occur once a month. Do the various medications on offer work? Grateful for any advice from other similar sufferers. ATB, Gussmithy

Going off Horizont help
The 600mg Horizont started causing the same alerting that the pregabalin and gabapentin had so my very understanding primary care doctor suggested clonodine. Started last night, while staying on the 600mg Horizont and had a good night, so the plan was to reduce the Horizont to 300mg for 4 days and then

Do I still have Endometriosis?
This probably sounds bizarre and silly but I'm struggling with the concept that my endometriosis is back or never went away in the first place. I had excision surgery back in 2021 and was it success. Doctor said he got rid of it all and he wouldn't see me again. I took this to mean I had Endometriosis

epilepsy and restless leg syndrome
I’m just wondering is there a link between RLS and epilepsy? My parents had RLS as do I and my siblings. My husband occasionally gets it too. There’s no history of epilepsy in either of our families but our daughter has started having tonic clonic seizures in her early 20’s, she has never drank , smoked

My PMR Journey so far
The condition started with a stiff neck and in early February I experienced a lot of pain in my upper arms, a great deal of stiffness and loss of energy and strength. It took a few weeks to get to see a GP and initially he only prescribed painkillers. I eventually got Prednisone prescribed after a second

Hypothetical question re Pramipexole
Just hypothetically. if I had no symptoms of RLS at age 50 what is the probability of my developing the disease at age 60 or 70? If at age 50 with no symptoms I started to take a regular dose of pramipexole for some other reason what is the probability having a reaction that would appear to fit
