methadone and shortness of breath
Hi all, Apologize in advance for length of this post. I've had RLS for since my early 40s and spent about 14 years on DA drugs. A not unusual story with augmentation and switching over to pregabalin about 3 years ago- but the pregabalin not being entirely effective for symptoms. At that time I was

Burning Mouth Syndrome
I haven't been on here for a while so, apologies. I have had pneumonia twice in the past 8 weeks & have been left with a terrible burning pain in my mouth. Has anyone ever had this? If so how do you treat it. Dr say there is no cure for it, it is driving me insane. Jackie

I am successfully reducing my pred for PMR for the second time in 3 and half years from 10 to 7.5 currently and taking it very slowly.

Treatment of RLS with Pramipexole
I was diagnosed with RLS about 6 months ago. My consultant prescribed Ropinirole but after reading adverse comments about it , I told my GP I did not want to take it and I am now taking 300mg of pregabalin twice per day. Unfortunately my symptoms are not improving . My GP has now prescribed Pramipexole

Tramadol has been a life saver for me
I try to alternate between mirapexin(unfortunately) and tramadol. Its the only thing that seems to work for me. Ive tried most other meds except methadone and the one which makes you feel nauseous as they wont give it to me. Lately though Im not doing so well as when I come off the tram I wake up every

RLS under anesthesia
Has anyone had RLS while under anesthesia ? I didn't know it would be possible but my Dr told my husband I was probably a secret opioid addict because my legs were twitching a lot during the procedure...... 1. I don't take opioids. Even when I tried them for RLS years ago it didn't really work and

Ropinirole
I’ve been on 3.5 milligrams of Ropinirole for about 4 years now but my RLS is getting much worse- legs and arms. Even though I take it throughout the day and am very active I cannot sit down and take a rest without the RLS kicking in. I am fortunately getting some sleep. Should I switch to pregabalin

shock - fight or flight response.
sometimes I wonder weather restless leg syndrome is induced by a traumatic experience in earlier life. The fight or flight response that is constantly on overdrive! Never being able to relax…. I’ve had the disorder for most of my life. Contrary to belief my symptoms stated at a very early age. Practitioners

Statins & Steroids
I’ve been advised to take statins due to high cholesterol levels of 7.0, Serum triglycerides 2.3, HDL 2.5, HDL ratio 2.8, LDL 3.4, non HDL 4.5. I’m reluctant to take more meds but I’m unclear of the meaning of all the results and if I should take statins or not. I’ve read some articles stating that

Buprenorphine patch failure. Now very few med options left.
I have PLMD only. It wakes me 3 to 4 times a night and continues until I walk it off. As with many (most?) of you, my sleep architecture is wrecked. In my case I haven't had a continuous night's sleep for 13 years.So, after regimes of Clonazepam, Baclofen, Ropinirole, Gabapentin (twice) and Pregabalin

Hi, I have Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS and I suffer terribly with sore mouth, tongue and also dry mouth and throat. I’ve just been putting up with it for ages but it seems to be more constant now. I also have no idea what toothpaste or toothbrush to use as they keep making my sores worse. If anyone has

Ropinirole and Pregablin
Hi first post I am so glad I have found this site it has helped me in a big way in my fight against RLS. My doctor has very limited knowledge of RLS At one time I was on 8 mg of Ropinirole extended release with no pregabalin, my doctor knew this was over the recommended dose of 6 mg but decided

Mother-in-law with EDS has very low Potassium readings
We thought Mum had dementia and the EDS (diagnosed) means she lives with pain and is unsteady. It just transpired that she has had a long term kidney infection and really low Potassium and has been hospitalised and put on a drip for this twice this week, its possible that this and not just the EDS has

Buprenorphine Naloxone dose
Hello again! I have had RLS for most of my life. I was taking 6mg Pramipexol per day until given better advice here on the site. I used 100 MG of Tramadol per day and in 18 months managed to cut down to .25mg Pramipexol. Then I got stuck and couldn't cut down any more. I found a Neurologist who prescribed
