Which treatment after dopamine agonist withdrawal?
I'm currently fighting to withdraw from dopamine agonist (DA) after a severe augmentation. I was prescribed some other drugs to help me go through this process (tramadol, pregabaline, clonazepan, wellbrutin). My plan is to get back to my pre-DA RLS baseline level, and to treat them with pregabaline only

New blood pressure procedure is ‘game-changing’ for people with uncontrolled hypertension, say doctors
New blood pressure procedure is ‘game-changing’ for people with uncontrolled hypertension, say doctors. Procedure reduces blood pressure without medications, say experts:‘Important step forward’ People with treatment-resistant hypertension could benefit from a new procedure that the FDA recently approved

hashimotos and cortisol testing
Hi there because of the fatigue I am experiencing, I am thinking of having some tests done to see if my cortisol is ok. I am aware of the short synachten test, the straight forwards blood test for cortisol or the 4x a day saliva test. Not really sure where to start or if this will be useful to my healing

For those taking methadone, do you think it affects your sleep quality?
Having gotten rid of almost all (but not quite!) Mirapex nearly 2 years ago, my current meds are 0.125 mg Mirapx, 600 mg Horizant, and 10 mg methadone. Eventually I hope to taper the Mirapex to zero. I have a vulnerability to obstructive sleep apnea and once my specialist had transitioned me to increasing

PSA Doubled in 2 Months
PSA end of August was 0.12 now 0.24. I met with 2 ROs to discuss treatment when my PSA was 0.20 a week ago . One suggested ADT 18-24 months and prostate bed radiation. Second RO says we can avoid ADT for now as he sees 0.70 as the value he believes requires ADT. I'm scheduled for F18 PSMA scan in early

What constitutes low heart rate?
Recently prescribed bisoprolol 1.25, consultant did say if HR drops to low I should stop taking it. HR is 34/35 when I'm asleep. Should I be concerned about this? HR seems to be okay during the day but difficult to establish because it fluctuates because I have been in constant AFib for two days now

My uncertain heart
After an hour of sitting and reading the paper online this morning, I noticed sensations in my chest similar to those that have previously indicated AF. My Wellue told me I was in sinus but the rhythm was irregular and there were PACs and PVCs. I have often noticed that PACs and PVCs in the mornings
