I was in a quandry because I needed some meds in 2016 but needed the lower starting doses that he put me on years back in 2013 and an up to date review. Diagnosed in 2010 btw. So he retired suddenly. I went

Can you function when "off"?
Hi all I posted a few threads lately. I was dxed with YOPD 2 years ago. I take my meds (Dispersable Madopar 62.5mg/Rasalagine 1mg at 6am)(Stalevo 100mg) at 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm and 10pm... They normally kick in after 30 mins then wear off after 2 hrs so I have an hour and half "off" time before I can

Will be seeing them in a few weeks' time. In the meantime, have been on Madopar since being

Q. How old were you when the symptoms of RLS first struck? A. 5/6 Q. Please describe said symptoms. A. They felt like tiny darts being shot from one side of the ankle to the other. The darts are then joined by a strong thick flowing liquid, gushing from one side of the ankle to the other. These symptoms

I can smell
Haven't had a sense of smell for years now. Then last week I started to smell things again first it was perfume the other I day took the lid off the jar of vicks chest rub and I could smell it. The only thing that I've done that's different is to start taking CoQ10. I'm on 4 x Madopar 125 a day.

RLS and Lactose?
Hello Everyone, It's been so good to discover this forum and read about everyone's struggle with RLS. I've had RLS since childhood (my parents remember me having to stand up in the car, or pulling over to let me walk around). But until now, it has been manageable to just get up and watch the movie standing
