Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: the biology of a neglected disease

Transitioning to Gabapentin Enacarbil
I need some advice when it comes to starting Horizant while moving away from Pramipexole. I've been on Pram for about 12 years and although it still works generally, it's getting less an less effective. So it's time to move on. Gabapentin Enacarbil (Horizant) is what I'm moving to. My question

My hcg bloods are extremely low (6.34)
Can anyone provide reassurance things will be OK if any ladies have had or know of anyone who has had very low beta hcg results? It was 6.34 today @ 3 weeks. But that's very bad. 😔they will retest Friday, feeling sad, o\s.

Weird leg pain
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this weird symptom! For almost 10 years now I have had pain in my outer calf about two inches up from my ankle on both sides. It comes on with the slightest exertion but is not there all the time. The achy pain builds and builds until I feel like

Horizant
Hi everyone and Sue Johnson. I'm wondering if Horizant is the same as Pregabalin? I guess it is a stronger version of gabapentin. I have tried it and it seems to work pretty good for me.

Low platelets
Hello and thanks to contributors for the all the past useful information and support. Very much appreciated. My GP has now asked me to give Pramipexole a try as both Gabapentin and Pregabalin seem to have caused an unacceptable reduction in platelets. The negative correlation is fairly conclusive.

Methadone
Hello, 3 days ago I started methadone. Started with 2.5 mg on the first night. It didn’t help my rls completely, so the next night I took a whole pill, 5 mg. From an rls perspective, working great. I am not getting breakthrough rls, which is awesome! But I am not sleeping well. I have many short

Does anyone have any direct experience of Targinact?
Hi Everyone, this is my first post but I've been reading everything on this forum for a while now. I'm in real trouble with augmentation after taking ropinirole for 11 years. I successfully tapered off and was completely free of it by April 2023, however the RLS remained severe, and in October I decided

Ropinerol withdrawal.... what now?
So after 15 years I'm off Requip. I'm now 4 days in with zero meds for RLS. A few contradictions of how long it takes to fully leave your system, however, I was hoping that my RLS would magically disappear along with my meds. Unfortunately, thats not been the case. Cannabis didn't help, it just left

Oxycodone - the way forward or a dead end?
I have only posted here briefly once but I have been following this great forum for some time. My story is very familiar. Have had RLS for 14 years, was prescribed all the available RLS medication: Ropinirole, Pramipexole (both miraculous at the beginning) Neupro patch ( never tolerated it), Gabapentin

Ropinirole vs Buprenorphine!
I had a phone call from 1 Dr. who told me that Ropinirole would cure my RLS and was annoyed that I wouldn't take them. He decided to get the head of the Surgery to phone me to try to put pressure on me ! I did say that the 10 mcg had helped me a little bit but I would like a stronger patch . A few day's

medication timing???
I am now almost 4 weeks free of Pramipexole 😀 I feel like I am over the worst ( back from hell) but I’m now religiously waking at 11pm then again at 12pm (and sometimes at 1am) with RLS. I have a 10 minute walk around the house and this does ease my pain. I am slowly increasing my Gabapentin dose and

Low dose Naltrexone or Suboxone. I'm seeing my doctor this week. Which one is best
After many years of RLS and coping quite well. First the dreaded mirapexin and then tramadol nothing is working at the moment. I was on 0.09 mg mirapexin. Now I'm on 50mg tram. Even if I take 100mgs it's not working so I'm obviously augmenting. Even Kratom isn't helping. I made an appointment with my

Sorbolene Lotion experience and my RLS
I was prescribed Sorbolene Lotion for my lower legs for dry skin - had very bad dry skin that was basically permanent. Anyway, I found that my restless legs disappeared after applying the cream. The cream is essentially just a moisturiser - says it has glycerine and vitamin E in it. I was applying it

Restless leg syndrone
I am new on this forum and am suffering like hell with augmentation. I've had RLS slightly since I was 27 now 74. GP diagnosed cramp in those early days and told me to drink tonic water. Things got worse and saw a neurologist (at my expense) some 12 years ago and put me on Rotigotine patch 1mg. Things

I saw Dr Scott Cooper this morning and I am hopeful that he will help me. He was familiar with augmentation and was very thorough is his examination. He has ordered a full iron panel and checking B12 and magnesium levels. In all he is doing 3 panels. He is also doing nerve conductivity test. He said
