Nifedipine - how do YOU take it?
Hi! The rheumatologist I last saw has sent a vague instruction to my GP recommending that I take nifedipine “in the winter months”, but not specifying strength, frequency etc. This is to combat what I think is worsening Raynaud’s in my hands - permanently wrinkled fingertips as if I’ve just come out

Is neuropathy related to Thyroid? If so, what tests do I get?
I have periperal neuropathy primarily in my feet/shins. Is neuropathy related to thyroid issues? If so, is there anyrhing else to test except for a standard thyroid panel? I do currently take B12 injections every 4 days so I have that cause covered which has helped but wondering if something else is

crazy or not?
I am in chronic pain in spine painkillers not helping. What I need help with is the way it all makes me feel I have no ffamily or friends . Isolated. I get panicky when pain is out of control, I feel freaked out and alone and am devoid of positive feelings everything everyday feels bleak no respite

RLS or PN does it matter?
Is the treatment for peripheral neuropathy and painful restless legs syndrome the same? I don’t know which I have but if treatment is the same then I guess it doesn’t matter?

Burning heels
My sister-in-law has for a few weeks now had a burning sensation around the edges of her heels and more recently tingling down the outside edge of her feet. It's worst when direct pressure on her feet eg when driving. A podiatrist has told her most likely neuropathy as a result of previous surgery she

Further Tips Please.
Thanks for the concern and advice in response to my first post 2 months ago.I am currently 5 weeks off the primipexol after 12 months of gradual weaning. Many people talk about experiencing the worst 3 weeks of your life after the final dose and my reactions are still extremely strong. It is like a convulsion

Anyone find cold plunge or sauna helpful?
I'm six weeks in on ADT. Working to stay ahead of fatigue with resistance training and weighted vest walking as I gear up for radiation and chemo in the next few months. Anyone done any cold plunge or sauna to help battle side effects or get better sleep? What was your experience?

Horizant versus pregabalin / gabapentin dosage effectiveness
Howdy folks! ....I've recently switched from pregabalin 200mg to Horizant - which I'm taking 300-600mg. Prior to that, I've used as much as 1800mg gabapentin. I'm getting some decent benefits from the relatively low dose of Horizant and was wondering if there are any others who have experienced

Good News!!!
My dr. approved the buprenorphine for me. I am thinking positive that it will work. She is giving me the patch. I am excited. I have to discontinue the horizant though which surprised me and of course discontinue the oxycodone. Hopefully now you won't have to listen to me complaining and I will

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.

Small fiber neuropathy
I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy last year. My symptoms started three years ago. I was fortunate to find a neurologist that took the time with me to get it figured out. My symptoms are burning, itching, pricking, sensitivity to textures. My burning symptoms mainly start when I lay down at

High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin
My ferritin has dropped from 82ug/L (30-150) 4 months ago to 64ug/L (30-264) this week (both Medichecks- Inuvi lab).
