Hi all, I found out i have a zinc deficiency. I have PA and also exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. I am also currently suffering from chronic sinusitis and tinitus. Do any of you have any experience of zinc deficiency? I had a commercial genetic dna test a few years ago and i think the raw data says

New guy with old RLS
70 year-old Vietnam veteran… AND Jazz guitar player ;-) Tramadol times eight years, (hellish withdrawal x 14 mos), 12 years to present on hydrocodone 10 mg 4 x a day. My doctor is going to switch me to Suboxone because I’m going through opioid withdrawal 4 x a day. Besides refractory RLS, I have chronic

Efficacy of methadone for refractory RLS
Fellow RLS sufferers, For a short bio, if you don't mind, you can skip to the second paragraph: I'm in my early 30s. Suffered mild RLS as long as I can remember I (didn't know it was RLS at the time). RLS increased in intensity and frequency during my 20s. It became a nightly thing around the time I

Devastating end to my pregnancy
I am heartbroken This last 3 weeks have been awful. We discovered at our 12 week scan that our baby had a large amount of fluid on the back of the neck, a clear indicator of a problem. We were supposed to have the CVS test to confirm what the issue with but that was not able to go ahead due to difficulties

Opinions on Hemp creams.
Hello everyone, I've recently decided to purchase some compression gloves for my hands and this cream called Hemp Active cream by 5kind popped up on my screen. It has a lot of good reviews but they also have a stronger version. I'm posting this because I've used Voltarol in the past and it doesn't really

Update on bloods - retested
Hi all I had my bloods done again through Medichecks as the GP refused to re-test. Endo agreed that the GP's FT4 result was utter rubbish. Results as follows: CRP <0.3 (range 0 - 5) Ferritin 112.0ug/L (range 13 - 150) Folate Serum 18.74ug/L (range 13 - 150) Vit B12 - Active >150 (range 37.5 - 188)

Gabapentin and Ropinirole please .....
1. I came across an old post on here with someone saying that if you take Gabapentin with Ropinirole, then the Ropinirole does not cause augmentation. Am guessing this is not true, but I thought I would put it out there to see if anyone has anyone definitive research on this. 2. Also read that it

Question retinal / retinol topical and IVF
Hello I have an unusual question but during this whole IVF cycle I used topical retinol products no Tretinoin but retinol . I had my transfer today ? Should I stop the retinol ? Or should I stop when I am pregnant ? Could it have affected the quality of the eggs ? Thanks so much !

Ellfindoe and LotteM please ....
Thank you to Ellfindoe for being patient and explaining so well. I hope you don’t mind, but I have taken what you have said and put it in my own words to try to ensure that I understand what you have said. Here goes ….. The latest model of RLS is that there is a series of factors which lead to RLS

getting off a low dose of pramipexole
I was on Permax and Mirapex at .05 mg for rls for about 20 years, before augmentation set in. I reduced the Mirapex slowly, then went off completely for 7 months. Experiencing depression and anxiety, and sleep interrupted by rls , I went back on 3 years ago and have stayed on .125 by taking a 14 day

Clarification needed please Ellfindoe, Joolsg and others
I still struggle with the fact that RLS absolutely responds to Ropinirole, which is a dopamine-receptor agonist, but then we are told no to that, and are advised to take Gabapentin, which is an anticonvulsant medication. Stupid question but is that telling me that lack of dopamine causes the nerves

Question for Ellfindoe or Joolsg about Gabapentin please
I have written before, but a quick recap. I was on Ropinirole for around 17 years, starting off with 0.12mg nightly (when I have to confess I thought it was the most wonderful drug in the world as it completely stopped my RLS) to more recently when I have been taking 0.50mg and 0.25mg during the day

Starting tocilizumab
I had my first shot of TCZ this morning (10 hours ago). 45 minutes later I started to feel lousy, dizzy etc. I'm slowly getting better now. Is this anyone else's experience?Is it likely to pass, and it is something I have to look forward to every week, or does your body adjust to it? Am also on 14mg

Does anyone know whether I will experience steroid withdrawal even though I’m on tocilizumab?
I have tapered down (from 40mg) to 5mg pred. I began a course of weekly TCZ injections 8 weeks ago. I need to stop taking the pred. I’m wary as I have experienced steroid withdrawal on a prior occasion. I am debating whether to keep taking it over Christmas or to stop now… and I’m wondering whether:

Looking back
I am late 60's & have had RLS for as long as I can remember & started out on Pergolide as I was experiencing minor irritation in the autumn/winter months so treated them like I would for any headache - popped a pill when I needed it. Later I was told how great Ropinirole was, so switched & took it
