Ropinirole withdrawal: is it always agony?
I have PLMD, which developed from RLS some 6 years ago. I've been on Ropinirole for 3 months at a dosage of 2 x 0.25 mg a night. It's just beginning to lose its effect with PLMs occurring at night 1 hour plus after taking the tablets & now an hour or so before the 6-hour half-life is through in the early

Getting a consultant referral for a CT-PET scan for relapsing polychondritis?
About 2 months ago, I started noticing chunks of my face rapidly atrophying - nose cartilage and around eyes especially, but also my jaw bone decreased by almost half, causing my friends to ask what had happened to my face. I told the doctors - they insinuated I was crazy. It continued. I became very

Seeking a Diagnosis (Cont...)
Hello, I have recently become aware that I might have EDS after seeing several consultants and connecting the dots. For example, no arthritis blood markers. I also have a comprehensive clinical features of Marfans/EDS but I am playing the normal waiting game to see a geneticist. I do have an appointment

What hurts less?
Until now I have been using Otrexup ( an auto inject pen of methotrexate). Due to cost, I will now need to switch over to methotrexate where you fill the syringe from a vial. So my question is, which hurts more auto or syringe?? My sister is a nurse and will give me the weekly injection until I can muster

Just diagnosed and scared.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus because of symptoms and positive ANA. Last month I decided to get a second opinion because I felt as though my Rheumatologist was cold and wasn't helping. My new rheumy ran a series of tests and found that my liver enzymes were very high and I was again had a

Trazadone for RLS?
Has anyone on this forum had experience, positive or negative, with taking trazodone at bedtime for the rls? I'm considering asking my GP for a prescription for this next. My "go to" has been 1/2 to 1 hydrocodone per night, and the current prescription is nearly finished. So I'll either ask her for

Hypericum (St. John's Wort)
I have just been reading about homeopathic Hypericum and/or herbal St John's Wort extract for RLS. It is a well known remedy for anxiety/depression because of its action in calming the nerves. Apparently it can heal the inflammation of the nerves that produce RL symptoms. Has anyone tried it?

Hypothyroidism and sick sinus syndrome
I find this forum really useful for explaining some of the things I've wondered about for the last 30 years. A couple of years ago my GP found I had an irregular heartbeat. I eventually saw a cardiologist who diagnosed sick sinus syndrome and said that I didn't need any treatment. The GP thought I

15 nights into withdrawal
Hello! Yes, 15 nights into my withdrawal from Ropinirole and I'm down from 1.5mg to 0.75mg. Indeed, things were going so well that it had crossed my mind to start shortening the time between the reductions. But then, by the weekend the symptoms of RLS started coming on earlier in the evenings and being

Rayos and Plaquenil and burning feet
I was wondering if anyone is on rayos and or plaquenil and experiencing sore and burning feet? My feet are painful to walk on them and they burn almost all the time. I am not diabetic and the foot dr. can't find anything wrong. That just leaves medication as being the problem. I have been on both of

Eight days into withdrawal
Good morning all! Well, I've done the first eight days and it's been better than I had imagined. Last Monday night I reduced from 1.5mg Ropinirole to 1.25. I increased the codeine to approx 37mg - cutting a 15mg in half to go alongside a 30mg. Symptoms were worse in the evenings, but only occasionally

I was posting regularly and lost track and now I have returned. My mom and her 9 sisters all had restless legs and some on them took Paragoric which you could buy over the counter as long as the druggist kept track and only sold you 3 ounces a week.. I don't think any of them abused the opiate which

Why have I never known of RLS-UK before now?
Well...having had RLS and Period Limb Movement diagnosed in 2000 (following a chance conversation with a friend/colleague who worked in the sleep study dept of a large teaching hospital) although I certainly had symptoms from childhood, I have had UK hospital/ Consultant input since 2000 and from approx
