RLS and augmentation – the battle for sufficient treatment.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has answered and advised me - both on inquiries regarding switch from pramipexole to pregabalin and experiences of treating RLS with morphine only. It has been a BIG help - thanks to you, my doctor has for the time being agreed to give me a small dose of morphine while

Ibuprofen gel/cream
Morning, all. I don't take ibuprofen tablets for pain because of my GCAPMR plus IBS. I know it's not a good idea on preds. Could I use the gel on my neck, though? Or would that find its way into blood or stomach? Paracetamol does very little. Dihydrocodeine is highly effective, but I limit that as it

CT scan instead of gastroscopy / colonoscopy with all PA tests normal
My Active B12 was just about into the sufficient range. My H Pylorii was negative, as was anti IFAB and coeliac. Homocysteine was fine too. My neurologist’s physical exam was normal ( though the sharp stimulus was a little less sharp on the feet. ) I have been taking sublingual B12 and the tingling

Thinking of switching to Gabapentin or Pregabalin
I had an absolutely horrible night last night. I take 2mg of Ropinirole but took an extra one last night. It's very ineffective and causes me all sorts of weird problems like confusion and cursing in a kind of semi-conscious daze. Which is best, Gabapentin or Pregabalin, and how much would I have to

Buprenorphine update - one week in
Well, I’ve been taking Buprenorphine for a week now, and I can barely believe it. I have had [u]zero[/u] RLS! My IRLSS has gone from the high 30s to 0. Absolutely no symptoms at all. I have spent my nights in bed like a normal person. The relief is unbelievable. On the first night I took one 0.2mg

Most effective ablation method?
I am scheduled to have open heart surgery (OHS) to replace my aortic valve and while my chest is open the surgeon said they believe it would be a good time to perform a Maze ablation for my persistent afib. FYI: I was diagnosed with afib and tach back in 2008 - both were controlled well with flecainide

Heart rate monitor results - another update
We had our second private consultation today for mum. Mum had the Zio XT monitor for a week. She has permanent AF and HF and the past couple of months have been so difficult as mum hasn’t felt good pretty much every day. The consultant said mum’s average heart rate is around 80 bpm, but the monitor

Donepezil as an aid for PSP
Hi all you good people, A couple of weeks ago a fellow traveller here wrote about her husband with PSP that as his cognition and swallowing declined, his Doctor prescribed Donepezil. Originally, he was on 10 mg of Donepezil which improved his swallowing, alertness and cognition. Two years later when

My RLS doctor, who I have found to be most knowledgeable about RLS put me on Buprenorphine,( .5 mg is my lowest effective dose).
