How to wean off of ropinirole and find a good doctor.
My husband is on 8 mg of ropinirole ER a day (4 in morning and 4 in evening. He has been taking it for over 15 years and whenever he would start getting augmentation, he would just increase the dose. That always worked but it’s way too much. We just moved to Florida and cannot find a good doctor for

Gabapentin
I am currently taking 5 300mg Gabapentin a day. I'm also taking 0.5 mg of pramipexole 5 times a day and hydrocodone 3 times a day which helps. Gabapentin alone didn't help me but I hope it does you.

Any substitute for Bupropion?
Hi All. I was on Citalopram for depression, but that made my RLS worse. So Professor Walker at Queens Square suggested Bupropion as a substitute. I have just found out from my Pharmacy that Bupropion is no longer manufactured (so they say). I e-mailed Professor Walker yesterday for another substitute

I ended up going to see my GP with the knee pain I was experiencing and after being examined he is 99% certain I've got a pulled muscle/tendon that is causing the

Still no diagnosis Following Syncope!
Hi, just over a year ago I collapsed whilst driving. Miraculously my wife brought the car to a halt and we are still here to tell the tale. Since then, I have had every test you could imagine and a loop recorder fitted last March which has picked up about four episodes of AT and VT, mostly when I am

Seeking advice for changing from Temgesic to Gabapentin for treating my refractory RLS.
I have moved to a new area and need to change Doctor. I had a double appt last week and the new Doctor refused to prescribe Temgesic. I have been taking tbis medication successfully for 2 years now. I am having my medical records sent through to the new medical practice. I thought I should look into

Back pain
It felt just like when a nerve is trapped, quite excruciating, but without the shooting
pain
down my
leg
. So my GP ran some tests and there seems to be nothing mechanically wrong with my lower back.

Pain management
Any tips on how to manage pain without resorting to painkillers please. I have painkillers but rarely use them and want to keep it that way. I have a very sore left arm which is far less painful when I mould it to my body and keep it inactive. Thank goodness I am right handed. Doc is looking into it.

Broken clavicle pain? Broke my clavicle after a epileptic seizure in 2011, but cold weather means dull pain! Must be others same situation?
I use my laptop a lot, a dull pain just does not go away, whilst writing, I have HPT so pain killers out of question! I suppose some sort of cream would be best, even magnesium oil joint spray like I use for my osteoarthritis on my knees might help? doubtful! Is anybody same situation as refracturing

Restless leg cure
Well I hope it is for some of you. I've been down all the various medication routes and magnesium cream and jels and nothing still the same getting worse by the week. Until someone suggested what worked for them and it's worked for me, I'll also add I've suffered with constipation for decades and nothing

Alternating meds
I wonder if anyone else has experience with a RLS therapy method of alternating .375 mg Pramipexole and Methadone 20-30 mg every 10 days? I also use marijuana which helps maybe 40% for about an hour. My case is very severe with many previous pharmacologic failures including Alpha 2 Ligands, Buprenorphine

Rosuvastatin Calcium 20mg for High Cholesterol
I fessed up and told her I had not started taking it because I've been in too much pain over the last month with diverticulitis, pelvic girdle and back spasms to risk more
pain
(as it's known to cause
leg
and muscle
pain
). I just cannot tolerate more pain right now.

Leg ache/pain from PMR or Pred?
Having been on Pred for 2.5 years having had real problems decreasing, & when I getting to 7/8mg life became intolerable. New Rheumy asked what is worse not being able to function properly or taking enough Pred to make life about normal. So have gone up to 25mg, I think I originally started at 20mg.

I was given pain killers but decided after the 1st day to stop taking them cause I felt like they weren't worth the side effects. A couple concerns I have is that I'm really horny for no reason, it's like if I get the slightest thought

Free at last!
Well almost, transport should be here in 10 minutes. Can't wait to get home. Not one person in the whole hospital knows or wants to know about MSA with the exception of my consultant. The ward sister has flatly refused to let him know that I'm in on the basis that I just need nursing care and as
